Taurus has implemented a transfer bar system on their revolvers.
The transfer bar mechanism prevents the hammer from striking the firing pin unless the trigger is pulled fully to the rear.

The last automatic I bought was a Smith and Wesson .40 cal, and overall It's a pretty decent hand gun. However there are two things I really despise about the weapon.
First and foremost, the only safety is on the trigger (I really hate that). Secondly, before you fire a second round the trigger has to be fully released to the starting point before beginning the next firing cycle.

It's just personal preference, I know, but these things really irk me.

What I want to know is, are there any of you who have the same issues as I do. And do you own a Taurus revolver with the transfer bar system?

Is there anyone who owns a Taurus with the transfer bar system who can't stand this feature?

Hate it?
Love it?
Don't notice?
