just got the gun and as promised was covered in manufacture oil/grease but that was to be expected because these guns sit in warehouses for months or even years, therefore some type of preservative must be used but all in all GREAT gun! If you are wondering about the size it is in me and my husbands opinion the perfect back pocket or purse gun although it is definetly a contender for home defense since it is chambered in 40 s&w and comes with an extra magazine . I call it a pocket rocket. the only thing i wish is that i could find the 8+1 extended mag then it would be perfect but to make a long story short im highly satisfied with the purchase and buds low prices and timely shipping will be doing business with them again very soon.

Excellent service from Bud's as always.
VERY pleased with this pistol... was not sure just how small it was, it's barely 1/4" longer overall than a Kel-Tec P11... would fit the Kel-Tec holster if trigger guard were more square in front.
Moderate recoil, short grip feels awkward at first but Pearce makes a nice one finger mag extension that completely changes the felt recoil. ... pretty nice accuracy, a little odd to take apart, need three hands until you get used to it.
Very handy to have a .40 that fits in your pocket. If Taurus would just step up in quality control there'd be no reason to buy any other brand.
And.. oh yeah... don't get forgetful and try to rack the slide with the internal lock engaged. Not admitting anything but I hear the slide will pull back about 1/2 an inch and then lock up tight.

Excellent service from Bud's as always and I have purchased several guns from them in the past couple of years. Shot over 100 rounds and no problems. Clean the gun first because it is covered in grease when you first receive it. Had a hard time adjusting the sights as it shot about 3 inches low. I don't know if I was holding the gun wrong, but I rubbed a bad blister on my trigger finger--may have been caused because I wore a latex glove when I was shooting it in order not to be covered with powder residue. Fairly easy to field strip once you get the hang of it. Great to conceal, but my favorite gun to shoot is the S&W M&P 45C. The Taurus has a lot more kick than the 45--not sure why that is, but it is.
