Okay, I get it, it's a cheap gun, but is it a decent
cheap gun? Worth buying? Why or why not?
Sale ends tomorrow, I'm thinking about picking
one up.

Does it fill a niche that you don't already have a gun for? A cheap gun isn't cheap if you don't have a use for it.

My nephew got one from his dad for graduating college. Of course he knows i have a literal library of carry guns he went cheap, BIL he has always been like that. Horrid is an accurate description of it. Any Glock, S&W, SA, hell even Walther would be better. Nephew shot a few of mine, gave the Taurus back to his dad and went and got a P365 XL, WAY BETTER.

You may not purchase after reading the above but if you're still going to there are better prices out there.

People seem to say this is the good Taurus.
I'm just too bigoted against Taurus for me personally. Find a deal on a glock, cz, sw, xd, Walther.Last edited by dirtmcgirt76239; 07-23-2022 at 03:42 PM.

I bought one during the last flash sale. I liked the capacity and size. The trigger not so much. It was ok but quirky. However I liked it enough that when the G3c came out with a rebate and 3 mags I bought one. I really like it. The more I shoot it the more I like it. Best bang for the buck ever.

Like others have said it is a quirky rascal.
I shot one, once - here's my takeaways.
1. Trigger is complete trash. I engaged or got hung on the blade safety a few times. Maybe it's just me, but triggers shouldn't go "clicky" noticeably before the "pew" either.
2. rear sights are all over the place wonky (had to kentucky windage adjust for movement [at 15yds!] halfway through a box of cheapo korean made range ammo)
3. accuracy -- meh! probably due to the rear self adjusting "adjustable" sight (that already had loctite on it!!!)
4. cheap flimsy plastic spring guide rod (came off the end catch later that day on the owner)
5. didn't care for the LCI, (just a personal thing here - I think they're useless)
All of the above are easily remedied, but with parts and smithing (if you're not comfortable doing it yourself) you're a few $$ away from a much higher quality better performing gun straight out of the box.
