I bought a new Taurus .22 and stuck it in a drawer loaded and when i finally got around to shooting it, it would feed properly and by that time the warranty was kaput. I traded it off with a little cash for a S&W .38 revolver. I won't buy another Taurus gun again. Second gun was a Khar .40 semi pistol. I wanted to get away from all the plastic and this particular gun was all steel. The problem? Too heavy.
