[QUOTE="technetium-99m, post: 1280881, member: 3615"] Mine started to fall apart after 6K, it got to around 9-10K (I got myself a wide gun) and is currently being traded away with the only Taurus parts being the frame, slide, and barrel. I'd like to reinforce my statement that when I got mine it was about $430 out the door at a gun show. For that money I was and am happy with buying it. The last time I looked at H&H they were $600+, and they are not worth that amount of money (haven't researched prices anywhere else though). $600 will buy you a much better gun right now. I'd like to chime in about the documented problem with the thumb safeties. On mine the frame is blended all the way up and into the frame hole where the safety pins the grip safety in. It looks like some hamfisted neanderthal kept grinding away at this area until he went most of the way through the thumb safety until very little metal held the safety proper and the pin together. This is where mine broke. Coincedentally, this may be the only part actually done by a person. The rest of the gun is just slapped together with parts out of bins and some really crappy mags are thrown in the box before it goes out the door. [/QUOTE]
