I own a couple of the Taurus hand guns, and like them. They do what they are supposed to do. Will they do it as long as some of the more expensive guns? Maybe, maybe not, but I rather think that they will. I have looked at these slim guns form Taurus, and think that they might have a seller or two in the bunch. The .45 didn't impress me that much except that it carries 13 rounds. Looking at the weight, and overall length, you're still carrying a 1911A. My .45 is single stack, with anything in magazines, form 7 - 20. 7 rounds being what's usually carried. Double stack it and you double the capacity, but you also add a lot of weight.

As to the second post by Patrol, take a look at the date of the first post, and then the second? He was only asking if anyone had shot one these new guns, and nobody made a reply of any kind, even after about 20 hours!
