PS..heard some good opinions on your Taurus from the guys at work...I got a Taurus PT 738 last year and it kind of fell apart on me....my favorit is my 1911 45acp and my S&W revolver...I feel my revolver is more "positive" as I can leave a chamber open when on trips ..... thus the hammer is on an empty chamber ( I know, modern fire arms but it makes me feel better)..... just my $0.02
