    I've got one. My friend and I have put about 1000 rounds through it and no jams. It's fairly accurate. I actually like it... though I would purchase a Glock 21/30/36 first.The trigger is the part I don't like... it's scratchy and feels cheap. The rest of the gun is nice and easy to conceal.christian

    I have one also. I'm very pleased with the accuracy, like the feel in my hand, and agree that the trigger is not smooth (it's also long like most DAOs). It's a nice package for 10+1 of .45, but, as is usually the case, you get what you pay for. At $350 it's likely not going to compare favorably to guns costing hundreds more. My Sig P220 and Para Ordnance P12.45 are better guns.

    I have read that the frames are cracking on some guns. Tarus has a lifetime warranty but I bought a para p-12 to shoot .45.

    Its not a junk gun, but it is a "cheap" gun. Wouldn't shoot anything other than Ball ammo thru it. You would be better off with a Glock, Sig, Beretta, HK, ect.
