It's a nice-looking pistol, and high-capacity too, as well as pretty heavy at 28 oz. unloaded. All great things since heavier firearms mean less muzzle rise and less felt recoil. I don't own any Tauruses, but I've seen generally positive reviews for their semi-automatics, so I think you'll be just fine. Some people hate Taurus and talk that it's unreliable-- that is a lot more true with their revolvers. They are often defective and malfunction, so steer clear of Taurus revolvers, but their semi-automatics should serve you well. You can also pick up some other really good pistols for 350-400. I don't know what your budget was but if you need any recommendations I'd be happy to help out.
Also, how's the recoil on the .357? I like them but for me, they're not practical as a self-defense weapon. I don't think I could land shots reliably in a stressful situation. That's mainly why I go with full-sized, steel-framed 9mms. I have a subcompact .45 too, and I also feel the kick is not practical for landing successive shots.
Right on, thanks. I mainly just wanted something to keep at the house and possibly CC at some point, maybe in a while. Not a huge gun fanatic but deer hunt almost every season but just always use my dads shotguns. But who knows, might get addicted
Nice, congratulations! I juat came back from the local indoor range here in Chicago, which curiously enough is open. What did you buy?
Cool, I'm in IL. too, central. I got the Taurus th9, seems to have good reviews for a budget handgun...hoping thats true?

My Taurus revolver does great never had an issue with it. Tracker .357 mag 7 shot. To each their own I guess.
Oh yeah. Your mileage may vary, of course. I'm positive that most of them are gonna be free of defects, so it's great you have a good one.
