My Brother Has a Taurus 45 and I hated the Trigger. Very High Poundage and Gritty, But The Gun Eats everything and is VERY reliable. Shot it recently and was surprised that the trigger had smoothed out somewhat and wasn't bad. For the Money Not a bad Gun. Also fairly Light for a carry Piece.These days you are sort of at the mercy of what's available. If the SAR seems nice enough, go for it. I am not a big fan of Taurus, so that would be a no go for me. A budget pistol, however, is a budget pistol.... you get what you pay for.

Thanks for the replies so far. I am a Ruger fan and have considered the LC9/EC9, but for now am wanting a bigger gun for more range use.
LGS also had a Canik but I think it was $449. They have a ton of M&P, Sig and Glock. Usually a lot of Rugers but low at this time.
Planning on going back tomorrow. With the crowds they have been having, I hope they’re still available...
If you can find one, I really like the Ruger Security 9, 15 rounds, and fits my medium sized hands well.
My edc used to be a ruger lc9s, but, my kid "borrowed" it so I just pocketed my lcp. My bedside gun has been the security 9 since I broke it in, and for days when I want a little more than the 380 in my pocket or on my hip, I have recently started carrying the Sec9 instead.

I would lean towards the SAR generally except for one thing. Spare mags are very hard to come by, and the ones I saw only included one. If not for that I would have already bought one.
That's good. At least you were able to find some. A usually try to have at least 3 mags per gun, so inability to get spares is a deal breaker.Yes. I quickly learned this. I was able to get one 19 round mag and the gun comes with two 17 rd. I am on a waiting list for two additional 17 rd mags.

A lot of people hate on the Taurus name and they have a reason for it. Taurus use to make some of the worst guns available, notice I said use to. They have upped their game pretty good. I bought a G3 recently and it has been an excellent pistol for the money. It has surprised me so far. I bought it for a range toy, but it might get a more higher role due to the reliability it’s given and proven.
Finally, a NATO test against major manufacturers from Austria, German and the U.S. ran 90,000 rounds with the SAR9 the clear winner.
