    I can pee outside.
    I've installed these.
    They feel great.

    Curious about the Vz's offered as well.

    And they fit well? I will give them a look.


    Oh, one more thing Taurus. Collaborate with a decent, doesn't even have to be excellent just decent, holster maker.

    They have it for lefties too.


    The M&P holster works?

    Indeed it does.
    I would post a link, but the website, https://www.winthropholsters.com/ appears to be down for maintenance.

    I'll post a pic of mine for reference.

    It’s been down for over a month. I think they may be gone.

    If Taurus only knew how significant the fact that one of their products had a 27 page thread on PF is, they might listen to us.

    I installed the Galloway springs today with quite an improvement. Before, the SA was 6# and the DA was way over the 8# limit on my trigger scale. After, the SA is 4# and the DA is just beyond the 8# limit on my scale. Probably around 9#. I haven't polished anything inside yet. I fired 18 rounds of my handloads OK.

    Next up is sights. I ordered a couple of extra sights from Taurus to experiment with. Reading on the Taurus forum, it looks like getting parts from Taurus is pretty spotty, so I don't know if they will show up or not. I'll probably get a Dawson S&W pinned fiber optic of the correct height and see if I can fit it.

    I measured the cylinder diameter of a J-Frame; 1.308", K-Frame; 1.443" and the 856; 1.408". I tried several J-Frame holsters and none of them would work except an older leather pancake and it didn't fit great. Several K-Frame holsters fit, but pretty loose. I don't know if the tension could be tightened enough to be satisfactory.

    Maybe it’s been covered in previous posts, but how about a simple Galco Stow n Go or similar for AIWB? That’s what I’ve used forever on my SP101. Heck, you could probably go to Hobby Lobby, buy a hunk of leather and a sewing needle, a belt clip, and make your own. It’s ironic that my bench has a box full of nice leather I seldom use anymore, and what looks like a dog chew toy (it’s seen a lot of use) which cost prolly $20 gets the most use.

    I’m starting to pay more than usual attention to this thread. Wife decided to get her CCW and has a fondness for my little Ruger. This may be what replaces it for one of us.
