ImVho, the Taurus handguns are ALL inferior in quality, when compared to a Colt’s, Smith & Wesson, Sig-Sauer or Browning high-power.
Fwiw, I was a LEO for most all of my active working life & have held an Army Rangemaster’s certificate for well over 2 decades.
My “every day carry concealed weapon” is a circa 1982 SIG-SAUER P225 semi-auto pistol in 9mm Luger caliber (I bought it as “surplus” from the German Forest Service.), that I’ve carried every day since 1996.
(It holds 9 rounds of 115 grain JHP & wears comfortably in an on-the-waist belt holster by Safariland leather.)
Note: IF you want a .38 Special revolver for every day concealed carry, consider a J-frame S&W with 2” barrel.
Just my OPINION, TMN78247
I had a P225 too. It was basically identical to the P226 except for the single stack mag. It is the only SIG I have ever had jam.
I was firing PMC 90 grain JHPs. The first and only jam was a dive into the mag by the front of the cartridge. I didn’t try that ammo again in the 225 but did note that it worked perfectly in the 226.
I have had the same thing happen before with single stack mags and am convinced that double stack are more reliable. When all is said and done tho, I think the ammo was about 90% at fault.
I wouldn’t part with my SIG P220 Extreme for any other handgun... period. I do like my Springfield XDM 45... but it’s not in the same workmanship league as the SIG. Then again, I just don’t like anything other than 45s.
