I had a Taurus revolver, too. I didn't shoot it enough to have an actual malfunction, but there's just a feeling of quality in the mechanics that wasn't there like it was when the wheel of my S&W turned with the trigger pull. There was a fealing of precision in the operation of the S&W while the Taurus just fealt sloppy. That "fealing" may not mean much for practical purposes, but it does for peace of mind. And isn't that what owning a pistol is really about - peace of mind?
Shoot a Taurus and then shoot a Sig Sauer, a Kimber, or an S&W and tell me you don't feel a difference.
Please forgive the thread drift, but what .22lr ammo is best these days?
What are you feeding it too?
My Ruger 22/45 will shoot ANYTHING you put in it....I buy the bulk 550 rounds at wal-mart and no problems yet...that is just for target...I don't hunt or anything like that...
Some rifle/pistols are picky...you have to find out what is best...go buy 1 of every type and then decide which is more accurate for yuo pisrol/rifle....

You need to define "best". Like Chuck I but alot of bulk 22 at Walmart. Mostly federal but I have a thousand or so Winchesters too. I like them for plinking, they are very reliable in all our 22's including a 10/22, a Henry youth lever action, a Ruger single six, Ruger MK2, Marlin 39M and a couple single shot bolt guns. The 39M seems to like the Federals alot but all are acurate enough for plinking or small game.
On the other hand I have friends that need at least 1/2" 25 yard groups. They NEED to search out ammo for individual guns. Sometimes it turns out yhat a lot of cheap ammo will be good for them but mostly they end up with more expensive ammo. No biggie because they dont shoot as much. I might go thru over a box of 550 if my boys come to the range with me while they MIGHT shoot 50 rounds in an afternoon.
$435 was the MOST expensive, and that was an $800 Nazi marked Hi Power.
There's alot of Belgium made Izzy contract Hi Powers reciently imported... They go for around $400.
That would be my choice. I picked up one (Refinished) in EXCELLENT condition for $385.
The Izzi's come with a larger safety and larger 3 dot sites.
Take out the mag safety and carry on.
(I assume you'd not want to spend the $ on night sites)

Where are you from....the lowest I've seen here (still there) at a store right now and it is close to $900 here in Huntsville AL.....and it did not look that good...
And these are Browning Hi-Powers?
