I tested the Spectrum going into it with high hopes. Everything seemed like they had a winner. First of all, I am not one to bash Taurus. Never had one, but knew friends that did and many loved them. I liked the size, thought the grips would be ideal.I liked the way they copied Beretta in the take down. Unfortunately It was very disappointing in every aspect. I like pocket guns, had full intention of purchasing one. But the gun was lousy at handling. Jumpy, and terrible shot placement. I have been shooting pocket guns for years, but just could not do well with this pistol compared to others that I own. I will not go into a lot of detail, but I did have a lot of light primer strikes. I was actually disappointed, because the price point was nice and was seriously wanting this to be a positive test.I had brought along quite a bit of ammo for testing. But walked away before even half way through. Just not for me in any way.
For the money there are IMO much better guns out there in this class of guns. Smoother handling, better build quality, better sights etc. At least I would recommend trying others out there before purchase. JMO.
