Had a chance to shoot and examine one yesterday, it was my sister's first gun. She chose it because it was a nice size and was easy to manipulate.
I would have to agree and add that I was pretty impressed with the little gun. This was the stainless slide model.
Things I liked:
Easy Manipulation of controls, precise sights, lots of safety features, soft recoil, reliable so far, captured recoil spring, light trigger, price.
Things I disliked:
Difficult takedown- It seems like it should be as easy as the glock but in practice it was very fiddly and difficult to get the slide off and on.
Long trigger- light but very long
I haven't shot a hi-point but I think for the price especially after rebate I would take the Taurus everyday. Looking forward to comparing it side by side to my friend's S&W Shield at the next outing.
