[QUOTE="BangBangJamDang, post: 2094110, member: 26902"] I have one, and I don't like it much either. Issues: The biggest problem for me has been the clip. I have to be very careful to not touch it at all while firing, which is almost impossible with the very compact size, or the clip will come lose after a shot or two. At this point you have to pop it back in to keep firing. This is an issue with both of the clips I have for the gun. I have figured out how to hold it to keep from touching the mags at all, but that means I only have two fingers to really hold the gun. I have not had any jamming issues, though I have only put about 100 rounds through it; however, it does have what seems to be an excruciatingly long trigger pull. I know that the long DA is important with the gun having no safety, but mine feels way too long. Again, I have gotten used to it though. Positives: They are very inexpensive and about as small as you can get. Conclusion: I purchased the Taurus to be a CCW for my wife. She flat hates the gun, hated to shoot it, and did not want to carry it. She was afraid of having a mag issue or not being able to aim well because of the trigger. We decided to pony up the cash and get her a Sig P238 instead. The Sig is way more expensive, but the quality and features are not comparable to the Taurus. As for myself, I don’t think I would mind carrying the Taurus if I just wanted something small in my front pocket. I don’t think it is a great gun, but I have figured out how to make it serviceable if needed. It is what it is: a tiny, cheap 380. As has been noted on the OSA many times, it is better than a sharp stick. Hope this helps, Cheers [/QUOTE]
