After spending well over a month researching what would be my first privately owned firearm I selected, then ordered my PT 809 on July 2. I was also pleasantly surprised that just before I made my purchase the price came down! Even better! In spite of the long weekend, Bud's still got it to my FFL in record time! The case it came in is of high quality, however, it was missing the bore cleaning brush. I contacted Taurus and I received the brush about a week and a half later. The same night of receiving the pistol, I also discovered at the range one of the magazines was not properly advancing the rounds when full. Upon inspection, it had a crease in the front and the spring had an unusual twist in it. I sent it back to Taurus and just got the replacement magazine today (after contacting Taurus through their online customer chat. The customer service even told me they would send me a replacement "as a one time courtesy" to replace the magazine they already received almost a week earlier but did not "show" in their records. The new magazine is of far higher quality than both of the magazines I got with the gun. The one I still have from the kit rattles around in the grip, but the replacement seats nice and stable. Drawbacks with the Taurus PT 800 series is that holsters which would fit the pistol are very limited in availability and styles, while night sights seem not to exist. The gun does fire and operate just as advertised, so overall, I am glad with my purchase.
