Just got this in an auction. It’s a beater meant to be a home defense backup. Any ideas when it was made? Or the country it served in (based on the stamp?)

Just read in the new Guns & Ammo Taurus is producing a new G3 model called the G3 TORO. In all respects the same G3 but with the slide machined to accept adapter plates for red dot sights. List price is $349. Anobody seen one of these in the marketplace?

OK, it's a cheesy intro. I'm not talking about that Big Black void we call "Space" but the little black void that exists between the bottom of your pistol's mag well and the floor plate of your extended magazine. I seem to recall reading about them in a discussion about using extended magazines...

Does anyone make a threaded barrel for a 3rd gen PT145?
