Mine is just a lowly Taurus, but I still love it!
Taurus makes good iron.
I have a Taurus as well, and there’s no reason to be ashamed of it. I have run well over 2000 rounds of various ammo through it without a single misfeed and with fine accuracy. The original grips are a bit cheesy, but relatively easy to replace (you need a strong-side notch cut to accommodate the ambidextrous safety). I also like the vented trigger and the fact that the recoil spring is not overly tight.
