Thanks for the constructive suggestions! Not sure what all the Taurus bashing is about??? Maybe some bad experiences? I personally have no problem with owning a Taurus, had some good ones in the past. I also own Springfields, Rugers, Barettas, Remingtons, Marlins, and have had many more in the past. If it wasen't any good I'd get rid of it! (The electrical tape was kinda funny though)
