thanx guys, it has been torn down cleaned and refired, and working well. i sent my wife out back with it to practice with it while i watched the rug rats, it was jamming on her allot, i think it was a combination of limp wrist, scared of the gun because an ejected shell came back at her and a weak mag spring. i ordered 2 new mags a couple of days ago, so that'll go away, but i am not sure of the rest of it.
she really made my day yesterday, as i took her to the gun shop to start working through the selection process for her conceal carry gun. i just let her and the salesman do their own thing, starting with revolvers, and then the pistols. without any intervention from me, she picked the millenium pro over the salesmans insistance on trying other ones, as he was not a taurus fan. her biggest contributing factors were ease of slide operation(generally her biggest problem) and overall comfort. now to pick between the 9mm or 40cal and get her to the range.
