25 years ago Taurus made some fine pistols and revolvers. However Taurus has had quality issues in the recent past, probably due to ramping up production to meet the demand. Personally, I would go with your friend's advice and get a Ruger or S&W. You may pay more, but when you get ready to trade or sell, you will be glad you did. Plus, in the meantime you will be enjoying the quality.
That is my 2-cents worth.
