FWIW, I had the Taurus and it functioned just fine. Its size and its length of trigger travel just did not work well with my enormous hands.
I ended up trading it in for the Kel-Tec P3AT, which works just fine for me. (The Rugers are copies of it.)
The Remington doesn't work for me, for the same reasons as the Taurus.
I tried a Beretta Pico the other day and it worked well for me. I don't really "need" it, but I might buy it anyway on my next trip to the LGS. It seemed like a well-made little pistol.
