Do lots of homework and soul searching before you buy a Taurus. You probably don't buy cheap tires, doorlocks or other important items, so don't cut any corners on a handgun.
I think you're right Stephen, after the comments on here I will probably stay away from the Taurus.
A little background. One of the reasons I have not had firearms in the last 15 years or so is because up until last Friday I have had pretty big dogs in the house. In the last two weeks I put 2 dogs down because they had cancer. Sam and Annie ( Black Labs) were my early warning system.(I don't do well with alarms, I forget the codes, set them off accidently etc.) Also most burglars won't mess with a house when they hear a large dog inside. Of course if burglars ever got in, my dogs would have probably let them have the run of the house and lick them goodbye. I'm just feeling a little vulnerable right now. Home robberies are not uncommon in Tulsa. Recently,one just occured a couple miles from here where some thugs came in the back door of the house of an elderly couple and sent the husband to the hospital. I know...why not get another dog. I'm just not ready now because I'm still a little raw emotionally. Plus while in the service and after I enjoyed target practice and going in to the woods of Colorado and plinking, and I am not really a hunter. Haven't done that since HS. Like Doug and JC said, shooting can be fun like any other sport.
