Just ran across reference to this pistol. Anyone have experience using it or know someone who has to give a synopsis?

I've had good experiences with Taraus 20 years ago. Not so much in the past 5. Had a 709 that went back 2 times for failure to extract. Sold it on the last return. Buddy had a CIA (revolver) that would lock up due to burr under ejector ring.
I would be hesitant to buy anything with a mag well that funky. |

They are without a doubt just strange in a clunky awkward way. It is supposed to be the ultimate concealment pistol but this thing is bulky, albeit not huge.
The sights consist of crosshairs on the rear of the slide that you sight through the gun with. Honestly it is a valid concept and likely works well with a defensive pistol but again, comes across as strange. We have two on the shelf at the shop I part time in. I hope we can sell them. |

I hope we can sell them. that's the thing its really not curved that much. if you put it next to any of the other small single stacks its maybe 1/4 if and inch curved at the end of the butt. no where near enough to not print when a standard pistol would have. |

It will lock up every so often, and not on the same cylinder. Won't do it when it's unloaded and dry-firing, or when it has fired brass in it, only on fresh rounds. |

I've fixed a few similar Taurus issues for various people, it's almost always burrs on the ejector ring index teeth and takes 10 seconds with a pocket knife or a jewler's file. |
