I recently bought a new Taurus Pro in 9mm. It has a really nice rubber grib on it. I have put 200 rounds through it at the range. Very nice.
Before I bought it, a couple people said they had a couple misfires using a Taurus. Anyway, haven't had any problems with it. Seems to advance nicely. I almost like it better than the glock. I think I like the manual safety since that is what I have always been used to.
Anyone else like the Taurus? Any good or bad reviews??

What do you mean by "advance?" That refers to the timing in a revolver.

Sorry, I could be off on the terminology. Meaning it chambers successfully with each round. A couple people had told me prior that their Taurus sometimes would jam not chambering the next round.

That involves "feeding" or "chambering" the round and the slide moving "into battery." Feeding problems can be linked to several different things. Keep shooting it. At 200 rounds, you're just beginning to break in the gun.
