Seems to be well made with a very solid feel. The weight helps with the recoil and I feel this was a very good purchase at a reasonable price. I like the capacity and reliability. This has definitely meet my expectations for a full size .40 caliber.

This is a good weapon for the price. I haven't had any feed, eject, or other problems with it. If you know how to shoot, it's fairly accurate

Great pistol for the price. I have spent a lot more on pistols that don't function any better. The accuracy and hitting power of the 40 cal is close enough to a ,45 ACP to go with the 15 rd mag capacity that tipped the scale to this choice. Once again, Bud's did an excellent Job with shipping and customer service. Love those guys!!

The finish is a little sharp. Like on the beaver tail, where theres a channel for the hammer when it's cocked, has sharp edges that may be too uncomfortable when it's pressed on your skin. Serrations on the slide are a little rough as well. But the gun shoots great. The single action trigger pull is fantastic for a gun this cheap. I could barely feel the recoil because of it's dual recoil spring system as well as the long slide. Very accurate out of the box. Safety also doubles as a de-cocker. It does have the Taurus hex-key locking system for people keeping the gun loaded with toddlers in the house. But in my opinion, that's just a mechanism that may fail after long term use. Would recommend as a car gun, a gun for the house, or a range gun. I thought it was too heavy, and too big, for daily carry.

This handgun, just like the PT 809, is a VERY ACCURATE handgun. So much that I bought 2 add'l PT809 models. I am so pleased that I bought these. People at the range are shocked at the accuracy of these models...and yes it's the gun and the practice that counts. BudsGuns.com IS the best, and always has the greatest selection.

This is a great gun no issues after 150 rounds of mix 165 and 180 grain gun feels great in the hand its a great gun for the money, the gun is also well balance in weight and size and recoil is very manageable just a bit more than 9mm but almost unnoticiable i can handle it very well now i have a great gun with 40 cal power, thanks buds for the great price and customer service your layaway programs are great.

Very nice buy I had this handgun and a sccy cpx2 on layaway I paid them off on a Tuesday and they were at my FFL on Thursday buds layaway and shipping is unbeatable. The Taurus was dirty and oily out of the box I clean up and put about 100 rounds though it with no problems

Nice pistol, operated flawlessly. Trigger pull very smooth, even in double action. Will carry without safety on and hammer forward. Recoil was very manageable, with quick sight realignment. Fits hand great with supplied grip inserts. Magazine release is stiff at first, but gets better with working it. Point of aim is very natural and the sight are dead on. Very happy with this pistol.

The Taurus 840B is an excellent purchase. I highly recommend this gun to anyone. One cannot go wrong with the price point of this weapon. If you are in the market for a 40 caliber handgun, look no further, and give this gun a chance. This is my third Taurus pistol (PT111 and PT140), and not one has disappointed. Really good quality, excellent performance, and as always the transaction through Buds was the best. I have purchased several items from Buds, and not one time I have been disappointed. The delivery was incredible.

As always a big salute to Buds and the Shipping department. Ordered Sunday night and had the gun in my hands by Tuesday afternoon. When I received the Taurus 840B my intent was to shoot it right out the box, however it was literately drowning in oil, (this is my sixth Taurus ordered from Buds, and this being the first with that much oil) so I was unable to shoot it that day. It took a while to clean it up due to the amount of oil. So my First impression of the 840B was it was a large solid well built pistol. The magazine (comes with two) actually seats extremely well even with a full mag and absolutely no force required, this is a first with all my pistols not having to slap the bottom of the mag (to lock in) with a closed slide. YouTube videos all state the Magazines rattle when inserted, i never had that issue, perhaps Taurus fixed the problem. The ambidextrous safety/Decocker and slide release seem week and looks and feels that they will easily break of if dropped and or with constant use. It did happen with a previous Taurus I owed. I fired over a 150rds of Winchester 165gr rounds with no FTF/FTE, althoght the 840B seemed to fire low, it performed flawlessly and couldn't be happier with this firearm.

Buds service was great. As for the weapon it's pretty good no failure at 100 rds out the box. Fit is ok no t bad for the price.

Got this firearm exactly a week after ordering on Christmas Eve, so I am very pleased with the turnaround especially over the Christmas holiday. Just had the 840 out for the first time today (New Years Day) and put over 300 rounds through it, my word is this a sweet pistol, not a single malfunction and very accurate once you get a feel for what your working with. The mag release and slide lock were a bit stiff at first but the broke in nicely. The pictures don't really do it justice as it is an extremely niceclooking piece. Overall I could not be happier with this purchase.

I ordered this pistol a week before christmas with hope it would be here in time and sure enough, it got here on christmas eve. I was impressed with how quick it had gotten here! Thanks Bud's. As for the Taurus, i was aware of many past issues with their firearms, but two of my close friends have them and they shoot great. I am so happy with the outcome. First day put about 250 rounds through it without one single issue. It felt great in my hands with suprising little recoil for a .40. I would strongly recommend to any one looking for a lower priced gun. The only knock i have is the same as most is the "rattle" it makes when you have a full magazine loaded, you can tell it should be more snug. Other than that outstanding product!

Very nice shooting gun. Very consistent right out of the box. The only thing that would make it better is if the magazine for was a little tighter.

Wow!!! This weapon is absolutely freaking awesome!! Accurate, accurate, accurate!!! Comes with 2 magazines, magazine loader. Absolutely beautiful weapon. As usual Buds has great service! Would I recommend this weapon......ABSOLUTELY!!!!! After 350 rounds of Remington 40 cal on Day one....just awesome weapon. Recoil is completely controlled.

Ordered this weapon during the last snow storm, Buds managed to ship the weapon to my FFL, in super fast time, Buds is amazing, they really are, and FFLs like them as well, all around pleasure to deal with Buds. Now, as for the Taurus PT840; First, this is my second Taurus, I realize Taurus are considered a mid grade firearm, but they've come a long way, the new modern Taurus. The PT840 was considerably larger than I imagined, it's a pretty good sized weapon, and I'm a big dude, with big hands, the firearm was large, it's not a little pistol. Secondly, the pistol game in a well made plastic standard pistol case, with keys to lock the pistol, and remove the grip inserts for different sizes, I decided on the smallest grip insert, as I have large hands, came with two mags, speed loader and instructions. Overall presentation was as nice as any other mass manufactured firearm. The pistol came with a lot of factory grease on it, I cleaned it with Hobbes and put a very small amount of oil on it. Went to the range the next day. The PT840 seem too run well, I had one stove pipe, tapped and racked and kept firing, Out of 100 fired only the one malfunction, and it was early on, so I wasn't to disappointed as a new weapon can act up till its broke in, so I was okay with it. The groups were tight, I was pleased with the accuracy, in fact impressed with it how well the weapon shot on point of aim, my groups were tight and I felt immediately confident with hitting the target. The biggest complaint I have with the PT840 is how sloppy the magazine fits in the well, it rattles horribly, it's embarrassing how bad it rattles, I've never seen anything like it, it almost soured me on the pistol, but I've come to accept it. I got this weapon for under three-hundred bucks, so I couldn't pass it up, and I'm glad I didn't. I just don't understand how Taurus could engineer a weapon, and have the magazine be so sloppy in the well, perhaps that's the only way they could make the pistol work with the magazine, or vice versa, regardless its painfully annoying. nevertheless, I gave the PT840 four stars for its accuracy, it's size, it's price and how fast I received it from Buds, overall the pistol is worth what Buds sells it for.

This gun absorbs the recoil of a 40 cal better than any other I've ever had. Bud's price and service were great.

This is a very good weapon at an affordable price. The only knock I have is that there wasn't a bore brush or cleaning brush included with the gun. Overall I am pleased with both Bud's Guns, the transfer dealer and the pistol. Now I need to put a thousand rounds through it and see how it handles after some use.
