After having shot 200 rds of rem. bulk, fed. bulk, win. bulk and cci mini mag, all 36grn. The trigger is long and hard. This wouldn't be so much an issue but the trigger is so narrow that it actually will cause a good deal of discomfort. I suppose it's not a real life problem as this is a pocket defense gun. The grip is large and comfortable. The tip-up barrel makes loading much easier than racking the tiny slide. The magazine has a strong spring. Loading it would be much easier if there were a tab or button of some sort to pull the follower down to drop the bullets into the well. You can hook a thumbnail on a little fastener and pull the spring down but ideal it is not. Very difficult to feed the bullets otherwise. My wife did almost all of the shooting. She loves the pistol. She was able to get very nice groups at 15 and 21 feet. The gun performed well. There was one failure to feed with the rem. bulk. Otherwise it didn't miss a beat. Has a short reset and it will fire at a fast pace.You have to keep count of the rounds you shoot because the slide will not lock back and you end up dry firing the last attempt. It's not something I would want for myself. But I bought it for my wife and she likes it and will carry it due to its small size. And I believe it can be trusted.

Very interesting pistol... small and light but grips are enormous and while they fit the hand well they make the pistol substantially harder to conceal. Functions fine, the tip-up barrel is cool but not totally necessary. For the $$$ this is not a bad little pistol, and anyone who tells you a .22 doesn't do any damage has never been shot by one. 8+1 at short range will make just about anybody hate the way their day's going.
I carry a Taurus 740 slim but this is a great jacket pocket or ankle gun. Just wear baggy legged pants to hide the humongus grips.
A word of warning... these pistols come inside a plastic bag for a reason.... they've been dipped in oil before shipping... apparently a standard practice now for Taurus. You'll want to clean it some before using.
