Had to take my sled to the Arctic Cat dealer in Fargo today to have an updated flash done to the ECU...some of the 2018 ZR8000's were burning the plastic around the exhaust outlet and this flash is supposedly a cure for the "flaming exhaust" problem. The mechanic said he could replace the melted plastic and do the flash in about an hour. So to kill some time I went over to the Scheels Sports Store. Never good to go there. Was browsing the gun cases and spotted a Taurus Spectrum .380...never heard of that model before...but was $100 off regular price and available in different color combinations. Settled on the all black one leaving the wallet $179.99 lighter. Went to pick up the sled and grabbed some fast food to eat on the way home. Then I started thinking...I usually check reviews before buying stuff but picked up the Taurus spur of the moment. So while driving north on I-29 and eating a burger I thought I'd grab the phone and search for some reviews on this Taurus Spectrum. Nothing like multi-tasking...driving...eating...searching the web. Let's just say some reviews were not that good....with the trigger a main gripe. I was thinking I should have thrown the gun out with the fast food bag north of Harwood. After getting home I tore the gun down cleaning all the factory lube off of everything and re-lubed with my favorite products....GunSlick does wonders on trigger engagement parts. The trigger is actually pretty good now. As soon as the snow melts and I can't ride sled anymore I'll take the Spectrum out to see if any of the other negatives in the reviews are as bad as some say. At least the gun is not out in some ditch. *

...note the asterisk *don't believe everything you read on the internet applies to other's reviews and my story telling :lol:

ND has both Constitutional Concealed Carry (no permit required within the State) and Concealed Carry permits you apply for that is good in State and States with reciprocity.

This is what is needed. More talk of politics and complaining about politicians and their gun laws, from whatever country. Make every state great again. There should be more room for complaints about Canadian gun laws, not just American :wink:
