My favorite local pawnshop had one of the older style metal frame guns in stock. These tend to be a bit more reliable than its sibling the PT22. It remains one of the handful of .25 autos made in the United States. These guns seem to either work or they don't. Mine works.
Mexican made FMJ ammo sells for 15.99 a box locally, which is not too bad, and feeds and fires fine.
The .25 version holds 9 in the magazine and one in the chamber. It loades via a Beretta style tip up barrel. As such these pistols are often purchased by women, the elderly, or others who have problems manipulating a slide. Though this design has a long DAO trigger pull that makes it less suitable for such. It also has a manual safety and a magazine disconnect safety.
I happened to have an ankle holster that needed filling. The little Taurus, which really is not so little, cost me my unloved and unwanted Nagant revolver in trade. Eh, I like it. It is small but handfilling and not very heavy.
