I'v owned a taurus Pt99-9mm for some 20 odd years. Fired thousands of rounds through and never had a jam or malfunction. I trust it as much as any auto loader. Folks like to hop on the 1911 bandwagon but i'v personally seen plenty of stove pipes and problems with various different makes. I do own one however. That being said I almost never carry one even though I have a ccw permit. If I have to go out at night to one of the farms ,I sometimes carry one as we at times encounter bears and wild dogs. Mostly they go on their merry way, most times. But to be honest I Can't really say I feel at lot safer from criminals when carring a pistol.
