My bad, typo, The MSRP is $392 not 342. Sig MSRP $599. But the Cost is not the main reason to consider the Taurus. For one, the Taurus by comparison of the features is a lot more for the money and has features that myself and I think other will appreciate over the Sig. (as I mentioned). And if it takes Glock Sights which I believe it does, I would prefer to get my own r night sights. The G Series appears to have been a big success and none to the Usual Taurus bashing.. In fact quite the opposite for the vast majority of many reviews and owners. Both reliability and even Quality. A higher price does is not necessarily indicative of Quality or make it a "budget gun". It could just be a better value. And it may even be a better performer. I personally know owners that love the G series and have made them their favorite gun for the class they are in, Compact etc. And all reports are that they
shoot very well. And the pistol may very well fit better in the Hand for many. And that is important. Not everyone liked the Sig as far as hand size and handling when shooting. I personally would not pay $599 for a Sig, nothing against the gun, just not my cup of tea. I found the Hellcat a better shooter and better trigger for EDC but still I would not put out $600.00 unless I really loved the gun.
The Taurus does not appear to be cheap in build. A stainless steel chassis to begin with is a sign that this gun is built to last.
But the proof is in the pudding as the say. I made some calls last night to my small group at my club that performs test and comparison to drop the coming testing of the Dagger for various reasons and switch to the New GX4. They all agreed and so will shall see. We plan on not only shooting a 1,000 rds through the gun with mixed ammo and defense ammo, but compare it to others and break it down for examination of Parts etc.
I have no dog in this fight of 10 rd capacity Micro's, I am more than happy with my single stacks, but if the Taurus does well and sells for around $325 then It might be another addition to my collection. (although I doubt I will buy any of them.)
I will refer judgement on the gun when it is put to the test. Trigger, shooting characteristics, handling, quality of build,quality of magazines etc. Not just price. It should prove to be very interesting.
