I traded a wheel gun for my p250 so the long trigger is no problem for me and my wife says it is more comfortable for her, especially better than the wheel gun which she had to use two fingers to pull and there was no spring set to change to adjust the trigger.

Just got 2 Taurus's recently. They shoot nice. Both were under $200 (blem unit and one purchased as a blem but received new due to Out of Stock after purchase). KY Gun co. Took over a week to ship out though. New price on most Taurus's is still around $300-$350.

Like I said in a previous post, you can pick up a Taurus PT111 G2 for about $199 after rebate. Since my first post I did purchase one and it is a nice shooting little pistol. I have 300 plus through it without an issue. After watching the Hickok45 review I was pretty much sold.

That list was ridiculous. #1 was a long out of production model, #2 was a Bersa. Lots of great pistols under $500, they only mentioned a couple of them.

Their list of best home defense guns was even worse. A double-barrelled 1911? How the heck did that get published? Oh that's right, it's Washington DC. The honest folks are new to guns there.
