    Has anyone fired one of these pistols yet? I have handled one in the store, but my ingrained prejudice against Taurus in general has he hesitating to buy one.

    If you want a small light single stack 9mm, its pretty hard to beat the Kel-Tec PF9, which is light, inexpensive, and packs a good double action trigger and sights.

    It's available for purchase now. I handled one yesterday at a local gun shop. It felt pretty good and seemed well built. I've shot several Tauruses and have always liked them for carry guns. They aren't fancy, but I've never had one fail on me. Anyways, this would make a great backup gun or a very small sized main gun if that's what you'd prefer. My initial impressions were all positive. But, I did not get to fire it. However, based on my other experiences with Taurus, I'd expect it to work flawlessly as usual.
