[QUOTE="Dr. Tad Hussein Winslow, post: 1257641, member: 7123"] Initial thoughts: When you say "full-sized", does this mean it's a home/car defense gun only which will not be carried at all? Are you wanting a "long-slide" version? (which I would recommend if the answer to that first question is yes). If the Taurus grip feels good to you, then you probably have small-medium hands like me - thus, I'd look for thinner double-stacks if going that route, including such types as CZ75, BHP, Taurus, M&P, Walther, XD, etc., or a single stack. The Beretta 92, Sig 226, HK, Glock, etc., are blocky and not good for people like us, unless you just like that "thick feel". However, THIS: sounds really interesting and positive. Whether you like Taurus or not, think they're good or not, you've got to hand it to Taurus for innovation - they were the first to engineer very ergo grips, which in .45 acp thankfully killed off the .45 GAP, and their innovation has led the way for others to follow - I dare say Sig would never have offered this new pistol this soon, but for Taurus leading the market in that direction, and forcing the competition to follow (though there's not a lot of direct competition between Sig and Taurus buyers - but the dominoes fall up the chain through M&P, etc.) Certainly cannot argue with the M&P recommendations - seems like a really really solid handgun, by all accounts. Certainly it's ergo for almost anyone, with the interchangeable grip backs, and available just how you like it, with or without thumb safety. I'm seriously thinking about gettting one of these for the girlfriend, if I can get it in the version I want for her: fullsized/longslide, 9mm, thumb safety, with pink grip panels. [/QUOTE]
