I have fired 150 rounds through this gun and not a single issue, the finish is polished black, I don't know why Taurus calls it polished blue. The finish is of good quality I put a set of pearl handle grips on it and polished the outer barrel at the ejection port to a chrome finish and it is a very beautiful gun to look at. I fired a 5 shot group off a bench rest with sandbags at 15 yards it measured a 1 inch group I could not believe the accuracy of this gun, it equals the accuracy of my 1911 Kimber, Sig and Remington R1. There is some slight play between the slide and the frame and quite a bit of play in the barrel link but it does not affect the accuracy at all. The rear sight is adjustable with a set screw an allen wrench comes with the gun to adjust the sight but I had to remove the sight and clean the grease underneath it and applied lock tight to the threads to keep it from vibrating loose. The trigger pull is light and crisp, I really like this gun it is a keeper.

Haven't shot it yet but I don't like what I see so far; flimsy spring guide and just doesnt have the feel of quality. Very hard to reassembly properly. All the hoopla about all the hand fitting, polishing, etc. isnt worth it. Like most people say: Save your money and get a name brand. Its a pretty gun but thats about all I like about it. I hope it shoots well ???
