The Taurus IS cheaper for a reason. The customer service is awful (turn around times are in the "months" range), and you have to pay shipping to fix one of their guns that was broken on day 1.
The trigger pull, the disassembly/ reassembly procedure, the overall lack of quality control, the customer service.....all reasons to avoid Taurus auto pistols (save maybe the PT1911...)
Skip out on a trip or two the the bar, eat ramen for a couple days, and get a better made gun. You'll be happier in the long run.
