Reliable and great value. No regrets. Cleaned and oiled before using. Ran about 300 rounds, 115,124 grain FMJ Blazer, Win, no issues. Still need to run various brand JHP rounds to find the best fit. Good grip size, perfect for larger hands. Was looking for something between a compact and subcompact that allowed pinky to rest on grip and still mitigated snappy recoil felt with smaller subcompacts. Impressed with quality of finish and function for price. Trigger take up and reset seemed good enough to me. Red dot for manual safety not placed on slides anymore. This was confirmed by a Taurus rep on the phone. Not a concern for me, but can be confusing when seeing the pics online and in the manual, if you even use the manual safety. Changed out the plastic recoil guide rod/spring with Lakeline LLC SS and added Hogue HandAll beaver tail grip for tighter and "stickier" grip. Helped with recoil slightly and grip, improving accuracy. Re-strike capability is nice, but never used it yet, except for dry firing. Some users complained about feed issues with the feed ramp, due to imperfections on their ramp. I have not seen or experienced issues with my feed ramp. Barrel rifling had rusty color before and after first cleaning, but disappeared after firing. The sights can be changed out with metal Glock compatible fiber or night sights which is a huge plus. Magazines are really tight to load 11th and 12th rounds new. Mag loader recommended until they break in, and they break in well after using. Easy to break down and clean/oil. Plenty of aftermarket part upgrades and accessories, as this model has been out a while. This handgun beats the "you get what you pay for", IMO.
