It cost me $ 449.00 with tax and all. It's the stealth grey model with 2" ported barrel and 5 shot cylinder. The loads used were mostly 300 JHP. While the kick wasn't that bad, after shooting the thing for a while and then picking up my 92FS, it felt like the 9mm wasn't even recoiling at all.
As far as controlability at 15 yards I could put all 5 shots in about 3"-5" which for my purpose of concealed carry will do just fine. The sights of course are not the best being only a rear notch, but again, for it's intended purpose that will be just fine.
One comment I do have to make is that in the double action mode, you had better hold on to the gun.
I'm completely satisfied with the weapon and am going to write a letter to Taurus expressing my appreciation for their firearm as well as their stand with the firearm owners of America.
