I ended up walking out with a S&W Bodyguard 380ACP. I looked it over side by side with the Taurus and the Ruger. Final selling point was the built in laser. If I'm going with one of these new fangled flat sided 6 shooters it might as well have a headlight. Even with the laser it was only about $10 more than the LCP. While I was on a tear I also ordered one of Robs pocket protectors for it and a couple boxes of Buffalo Bore +P hollow points to complete the days adventures. Now I need a couple extra magazines.

So if I can get it stripped down to clean and lube it tonight I'll take it out and shoot it tomorrow. And that brings us to the Q&A portion of this. The gun has a take down lever akin to a 1911. It needs to be turned down to the 6 o'clock position to pull it out for take down. The manual says remove mag, lock slide back, rotate lever, pull lever out. They use a lot more words but that's the jist of it. I cannot get the take down lever into the 6 o'clock position. I have pressed HARD. I don't want to break it before I shoot it. Any suggestions?

Oh yeah, HI EVERYBODY! Long time no see.
