Guys I know this is off topic, but from what I read here I trust
your opinions. I have a new 9mm Trurus handgun. What kind of grease
do you recomend to use on the slide action. I am treasurer of my
Church and handle a lot of money so I carry this handgun. I do have
a Concealed Handgun License. In the past I used a revolver but
recently upgraded to the semiauto.


First choice is nothing. Second is very light oil.

Using nothing will enhance wearing of the irregular surfaces left
from the original manufacture, resulting in a smoother-functioning
weapon.

As an aside, many years ago the Brazilian government contracted with
Beretta to provide handguns for the military. Part of the contract
was that the guns be made in Brazil, so Beretta built a factory
there.

In the fullness of time, the contract expired, Brazil kept the
factory and renamed the product "Tarus."

The interesting thing about the weapon is that a bad guy can grab
the slide and, with a twist and a jerk, disassemble the weapon while
you're still holding it!

That said, if you use hollow-points, a neat trick is to fill the
hollow with dog **** and seal it up with candle wax. That way, when
you shoot someone, they die of septicemia, much to the perplexion of
the doctors. Probably not appropriate for a church worker...


What if you stuck a Primer in a hollow point, if it hit bone, no more
bone.


Heh! We had one guy who pressed-fitted a large pistol primer - with some
powder - in the nose of a .45 hollow point. He went out to a dumping ground
and shot an old hollow-core door. Blew a hole in the door the size of a
basketball.
