I thought the same thing about the trigger on my Taurus, OK but a little gritty, certainly acceptable on a $300 gun. After a good clean and lube and some dry and wet firing, it cleaned up nicely and now I quite like it for it's purpose. It's no match for my competition guns, but for a carry piece, it has all I want. Smooth action with a longish pull and a short easy to find reset in single action. I have been using absolute garbage ammo to break the gun in and it has been flawless so far. My only complaint is being unable to find additional magazines for it, though that is not limited to this particular gun, so I can't really call it a minus.
