I bought a Taurus 445 when they were fresh off the drawing board. Nice of me to invest in Taurus' R&D,cause that's just what I did. The firing pin spring broke twice, they fixed it both times, but never let on WHY such a thing happened.......I finally gave up the gun; couldn't trust it. Too bad, it would've been a nice gun, about the same size as a K frame ( maybe a little smaller ) and very controllable. I might have just got a lemon, who knows?
