Taurus has done some real upgrades to their performance market in the past few years. They added a full blown CNC machine shop which, in my opinion, has upped their stock in the autoloader pistol market.
They currently are offering a true lifetime warranty on all their CNC driven weapons, meaning no matter who buys it, they will warranty it FOREVER. That is pretty cool in the firearms manufacturing world and just isn't something that is done anymore.
I think, for the money, you won't find a much better deal for a new pistol when you factor in all the variables.
If you get one, post some pictures and a range report if you wouldn't mind - it would be well received.
