I had previously owned a Taurus 24/7 and after months of problems gave up on it. I went Sig, Walther, HK and CZ......then I started hearing about the 2nd Gen of Taurus pistols and it seemed to good to be true....so I started researching them like crazy, and after several years, I dove in and bought 2 for some bug out bags and convinced another friend to purchase one. We got them all for $199.....I thought the egos were great, and the recoil was low for this size of gun.....I loved that it was double stack and 2nd strike capable.....however, all 3 sights were off from the factory, and could not be adjusted to zero, they ran out of clicks but did get close.....my friends trigger broke on his second trip out, and I finally couldn't deal with the long trigger pull any more....I decided for about a $130 more I would rather have another Walther PPS, which is my current EDC,and has never had an issue of any kind.....just my experience
