I'm not a taurus Fan.. There QC stinks so you have too check out the gun good.. Now they do have a few good gun that are copys and they are decent.. There PT 99 was a great gun ! Had one shot the heck out of it sold it some 20 years ago the the guy is still shooting it!! Also there PT 1911's are great if you check them out really good and know what your doing before you buy..
