I am really looking forward to getting one of these handsome little shooters. I hope they function as good as they look.

I would be comfortable comparing with my springfield XD .45. I'm looking forward to getting the new 907 slim model 9mm they have now. That said I am still a revolver man.

One reason why some of their revolvers have positively terrible accuracy is because they have to import a 3" barrel or more, and then it gets turned down on a lathe in Miami. This is a big problem when the barrel is shrouded, because the hot steel of the barrel liner separates from the even hotter metal of the aluminum liner causing little gaps between them known as "blowout". You can sometimes see this on new Taurus revolvers if you look at the muzzle. If you see a gap, don't buy that one! They also have to incorporate lots of silly locks and nonsense that domestically produced guns aren't required to have (but often do).
