All I ever heard from gun snobs was the taurus 92F was junk, but theres not that much in it that can fail, and the open top feeding makes jams less likely.

I also like the cocked and locked feature. They are a bit heavy to me for CCW though.

Ive had my eye out for compact version of that particular taurus even though I have two glocks. Ive been wanting another 9mm to have on hand as a loaner to trusted visitors who find themselves without a sidearm in a SHTF emergency. If I can find one used and unpapered at a decent deal, I might even buy it.

I like the hammer drop safety feature which allows me to carry 15 in the mag and one in the chamber, firing the first shot with double action and single action for follow up shots. I bought the pistol used but have put 500 plus rounds through it without a hiccup, once I tuned the magazines for it. It is accurate out to fifty yards (which is th elimit of my old eyes for handgun shooting, and I do most at 25 yards or less) and with HydroShok or Remington Golden Sabre ammo it has .45 ACP impact without the recoil.

I'm still a .45 ACP man though. I have a Taurus OSS DS beside the bed that I trust my life to. I've put around 1000 rounds through that .45ACP and liked it so much I bought a 40S&W in OSS DS. A few Taurus pistols in the modern batch might need a bit of tuning, but I find them to be very reliable and now well made. Their magazines however often need 'filing' work to function reliably.
