All I could compare one to is my Kimber Warrior. I know how much I paid for it and I know how much a Taurus costs now. I thinkit's human nature, at least for me anyway, to look at two simular pistols and be skeptical of the one that is 1/2 the price of the other, with supposedly the same features.

I'll also admit that I'm not a big fan of Taurus for another reason, and IMO, the most important reason: They were in the process of developing a "smart" pistol for the Peoples Republic of New Jersey so that once this "smart" pistol was readily available, it would make all other pistols illegal to purchase in this great state. It shows me that Taurus had $$$ dangling in front of their eyes instead of trying to preserve our Second Amendment. I'm not sure of the status of this "smart" pistol anymore. I think it may have been scrapped, or at least I sincerely hope it has been.
