What are the thoughts on this pistol now?
I have a friend looking at one, so would like some feedback from you owners!!

Well, Bill, I like it enough now that I went out last week and qualified with it so I can carry it on duty. I guess trusting it enough for that is about the best recommendation i can give it.

The officer who was range master to qualify me was also very pleasantly surprised by it. He carries a Kimber and firing the two pistols side by side, I think the Taurus was more accurate while the Kimber had a slightly better trigger pull. For the price difference, Taurus gets my vote.

I am the member Mike referred too. I picked up the Taurus a week ago at Bass Pro Shops in San Antonio. Got to shoot it on Friday and I am very pleased with it.

I do want to modify it a little and am looking at replacing the sights with night sights (for work) and then adding a Crimson Trace laser grip. The laser will require a new safety that is bobbed on the right side.

After the other thread where Mike was telling me about the sights, I stopped in at McBride's today. They can get me the laser, but don't know about the safety (it is mentioned in the catalog but not listed with a part number or anything like that). they are checking further into that. They are also checking on the Heinie sights for me.

So far, I strongly recommend the Taurus with only one reservation. I really wish they had used a standard sight dovetail so I could get new sights more easily.

Oops, two reservations. It only comes with two magazines and I needed a third for duty. Just something to consider.
