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.

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.

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.

It's not hard to keep on track. My wife does ok with it if she takes her time. I had to put hard rubber grips on it, it came with some didn't like much. It's my EC while I work in the woods.

You ought to look at some 10mm semi-automatics, they're fantastic, especially if you work in the woods where animals may be a problem. The recoil with a 4-5 inch barrel is quite manageable.

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
