I like Taurus. We bought one for my GF. It functioned good but a few FTF. That was primarily due to the TULAMMo used. We loaded it with PMC and had much better results. Not perfect, but better. I thought the slide would loosen up a bit after a break in period but it didn't as she has extremely small hands and as such, not a lot of strength in her fingers.. Turned out that my P238 was what she ended up with and I bought her a Colt Pocketlite to get my Sig back. She has no trouble with the slides on either of those. She really liked the Taurus though. The only reason we got rid of it was because of the difficulty she had racking the slide. For $199, I would buy it.
