I've shot several variants of the Ruger P Series over the years and owned a P90 briefly, years ago. They aren't something I'd go looking for today, but they are indeed a "hell and back" kind of handgun.
Taurus? I won't even touch a Taurus for fear of contracting some kind of flesh wasting disease.

We may lose and we may win, but we will never be here again.......
Years ago, I bought an SD40 because it was highly recommended by a good friend, a gun smart retired LEO, who told me to just "shoot the shit outta that gun." I had never shot a Smith and Wesson semiautomatic, took his advice and was impressed. It became my "nightstand back up gun," a second gun stashed in an accessible place if somehow I became separated from my "primary nightstand gun." I can't remember ever having an issue with that firearm. I sold it because, if memory serves, someone offered me more than I paid for it. Of course, my hindsight, like everyone's, is 20/20 and I now wish I hadn't.
I still have the remains of a Sigma SW9VE from way back -- early 2001 I think. A little less updated than the SD line (which I still mistakenly call SV because I'm old and deteriorating), but a solid pistol anyway. It was also a nightstand pistol before Dad and his Alzheimer nuttery sneaked in, remembered the safe combo, stole it, and destroyed it shortly before he passed. That was in 2011. He never did reveal what on earth was going through his mind when he decided to do that. I should just toss it because it could be illegal in its current form (though completely non-functioning) but it's like a strange connection to him. Anyway, it had several thousand rounds through it at the time of its untimely demise.

I have a G2C on the way. It might be the best selling gun locally and a friend who is a Kydex bender said it's his best selling holster. I know multiple people who got them for Christmas and plan on using them in classes this year.
I don't have any personal interest in the gun but since it's popular I'm going to put up the $155 and shoot a variety of shit through it. I'll post in the 2000 round challenge thread. It might take a bit to hit that round count because my ammo budget is tight at the moment and I don't want to put much of it toward a fucking Taurus.
