[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 1184798, member: 229"] Taurus and Walther (both of which you named) both make guns with European grips - as does Sig, Steyr, HK, FN, S&W, Ruger, etc... I'd wager that the M&P is in-between (as are several others that aren't quite as drastic as the Glock). Aside from actual 1911s, the majority of handguns made have a slightly more swept grip than the 1911 does. Colt has a much worse price-point than Taurus as far as what you get for what you pay (keep in mind that Colt has had a crap-ton of recalls in recent times). Taurus doesn't have a better fit/finish than any of the other guns listed in this thread (save the Hi-Point). They do a good job for the most part, but miss a lot of little things. Lets not forget reliability (in my opinion, of of the major reasons to own a handgun). Glock gives you much higher reliability than Taurus for not a lot of extra money. With Taurus the general logic goes: the good ones are loved by their owners and will usually give you little if any problems. The bad ones suck badly and you'll never get them to work right - but its a crap-shoot on several of their more problematic models. I owned a 24-7 and loved it. Never had a problem with more than a few hundred rounds through it, but the fact is, they're not proven in the world of hard-usage guns like Glocks and several others are - there's a reason for that.
