The Taurus Spectrum is a great pocket pistol at a very competitive price. I’ve had it a couple years and have had no problems.

Really enjoy using this handgun. Small and discreet yet enough stopping power for a daily CCW. Would definitely recommend!

Wanted a small conceal carry that could fit in my pocket and have enough room on the hand grip for my pinky couldn't ask for a better fit great little gun can't beat Buds price and great service. RK is a lot closer but they play online only sales BS games so Thank You Buds for not playing games.

Very cost efficient, nice pocket or ankle pistol. The trigger is a little heavy on the squeeze, but it turned out to be a good thing since there isn’t a manual safety.

I have purchased several weapons through this company. In my opinion, they are professionally at the top of their league. The Spectrum is an amazing pistol. Taurus customer service is five stars. I called one night because the magazine was not working as designed. They sent me another within a few days--problem solved. The gun shoots as advertised. I'm just completely surprised at the quality and craftsmanship of this little pistol.

I believe the Taurus Spectrum is a good safe pocket carry pistol. It does have a long trigger pull but that I what makes it safe to carry in your pocket. It will not unintentionally go off. It does take a little getting use to but it will do the job that it was designed to do. Take down to clean is easy. It does take a little getting use to reinstalling the slide spring but once one is use to that it's easy enough. It does require a magazine break in. Recommended 48 hour min loaded. There are other break in procedures that would be better. It does as advertised so I give it 5 stars. People who don't like the trigger pull will definitely give it less.

I have been a Bud’d Customer now for 9 years and I can tell you that customer service means something here. Customer service is not something that they say here at Bud’s but rather what they live. Now for the review of the Taurus Spectrum, I purchased this for my wife’s EDC and she absolutely loves the gun! The Spectrum is so light weight she hardly notices it in her purse even loaded 7+1. I took her to the range Saturday Letting her get the feel for the little gun I must say I was impressed with the Spectrum performance and recoil. Being a sub compact it has very manageable recoil in the 380 acp and it absolutely had zero issues first time out using Three different types/ brands of ammunition the Spectrum simply went bang every time you pull the trigger speaking of trigger pull on the Spectrum was very smooth with just enough lbs pull there is little to no chance of firing unless you pull the trigger. Great gun!

My FFL was in shock when they saw the price that i got from Buds, this little pistol its not the typical Taurus handgun the quality its outstanding and the gun was designed and manufacturated by american people.The ergonomics are far superior than the competition and it really impressed me for a Taurus.Buds make a awesome deal plus the factory rebate was even better.

Save your Money the worst pistol trigger I have ever had the displeasure of using. I purchased the pistol and fired 300 rounds and ended in selling the pistol. At 7 yards was unable to consistently hit a 3 inch target. I would not carry this pistol and rely on it firing Multiple light strike at times 3 trigger pulls on Multiple ammo. Would be safer throwing the pistol at someone. I did purchase a Bersa 380 CC and can put 10 in the 3 inch circle at 7 yards and after more than 300 rounds with the same type of ammo and no failures. Save your self some grief and look elsewhere ...

I was very pleased again with the quick service from Bud's. As usual their service is second to none. I was also pleasantly surprised with the Taurus Spectrum. I only put 100 rounds thru it the first time out to the range. I am very happy with the results. The accuracy and reliability was right on. You can't go wrong with this 380. Another win for Taurus.

`Shipping was awesome, Picked up gun last night. Gun is a little smaller than I thought . I would say almost the exact same size as a Ruger LCP, but with a better grip. Quality seems good. They could spend a little more time smoothing the sharp corners on the trigger. Also a captured return spring would be a welcome addition. If it shoots well and is dependable , I can live with those minor flaws. Will do a anolther review after I shoot it. Bud's was Great to deal with as per usual.

This is a nice little pocket pistol that so far has functioned 100%. My only complaint is the plastic trigger that is a bit gritty and and has a very long pull.I do like the the fast that it has 2nd strike capability.

Purchased this pistol last week. Put 100 rounds of 95 grain Win fmj thru it, no stoppages, failures to feed or failures to eject. Accuracy at 7 yards standing was decent when you consider it's a new gun and you have to get used to it. Tigger pull was long to get to let off which is understandable because there is no safety. At 15 years you can put lead in a 6 inch circle. The spectrum feels good holding it with the extended mag and the function was smooth, My wife shoots a Taurus 728 and prefers the spectrum over it. The price is good, plus 2 mags easy to shoot makes it a good buy. Plus Buds is easy to deal with.
