The Bad: Front sight became loose and twisted sideways at a noticeable angle within the first ten rounds. Firing factory Winchester rounds. The font sight is plastic and the retaining screw on the bottom of the slide is metal. Probably not the best combination. The rear sight, although adjustable, leaves a lot to be desired. It's plastic and the sight blade does not appear to be level as it sits inside the base. Adjustments are sloppy. This gun can't function with the slightest "limp" grip, wrist, or elbows, it will fail to feed. (not what you want in a self defense situation) The Recoil was much worse than my Walther PPS 9mm which has nearly the same dimensions.
The Good. At seven yards it held a one inch group. Gripped firmly and keeping arms and wrists locked, it feeds reliably. It required much more stability on my part than does my Walther PPS to feed. Trigger feel is as good as most. The trigger reset is above average. It sets quickly and the single action stage feels good. Spent casings eject well and the magazines release is within easy access. The finish seems durable so far. The machining on the slide and the molded polymer lower look nice.
I called Taurus and told them about the front sight. (several minutes on hold) but they did send me a new sight and retaining screw. I used Loc-tite epoxy (for plastic) on the sight. I haven't tested it yet to see if it will hold up. Overall it's ok for the price. If you want total reliability I have to advise you to look elsewhere.
