I originally bought this pistol for my girlfriend for a conceal carry weapon... She had fired a similar pistol at the range with some of my friends. As far as the pistol goes, it is a great gun. It is extremely light and easy for her to handle, though it does kick pretty good when using the +P ammo!.. We have taken it out several times now, shooting at several close range targets. I can hit bottles at 25+ yards, so I am completely satisfied. The only caution that I will give, is pay attention to the finish of the gun. I did not do enough research and bought this pistol thinking it would have a shiny stainless look. I got the dull matte finish instead, which is not quite what she was wanting. This however was not a big problem because I like the way this gun looks, so I will undoubtedly keep it for myself and simply buy her a different one... Thanks Buds for a great gun at a great price and for shipping it so flawlessly!..

As always Buds was awesome, quick shipping and smooth transaction. The Taurus is amazing! I picked it up the other day, and before firing it I removed the side plate and deep cleaned the internals. That made a big difference in the trigger pull. The gun performed flawlessly at the range without any failures. I fired 50 rounds of Magtech 158 grain and 100 rounds of WWB 130 grain FMJ. I also ran 10 rounds of WWB 125 grain JHP +P. The gun has a stout recoil (especially with +P's) but it is very managable and easy to aquire the target for quick follow-up shots. The trigger pull is very smooth (after a deep cleaning of course), and does not fatigue your finger. All-in-all this gun is very pleasant to shoot, and very accurate for a 2" barrel. It's easy to put all 5 shots quickly on a 10" steel plate from 50 feet away. This gun is an excellent choice for what it is designed to do, it makes a great carry weapon, home defense, or backup LEO weapon. I am very pleased with this purchase, and I look forward to dealing with Buds in the near future.
