Sights can apparently be "upgraded" to Glock Night/Fiber Optic Sights as per the article below:

The factory texturing looks to be appropriately aggressive and in the right places.

Hopefully, Taurus has rounded the QC corner.

I think it was smart to use Glock sights, really gives buyers a lot of choices right out of the gate.

I’ll bite. Interchangeable backstraps, better trigger, Brazil photos last week showing drawing with RMR. Supposedly 13 and 15 rnd mags in works.

Hopefully, Taurus has rounded the QC corner.

That’s the problem. Even if I got a Taurus that was the most reliable gun ever made by men, I would still be waiting for this to happen.

In fact, I just look at my 856 and wonder when it’s going to cheat on me.


Hopefully they will prove over the long term they are an improved company.

I bet 10 PF bucks that the lawsuit from Sig is filed before the first copies of this new pistol hit the LGS.

Between micro pistol's reputation for reliability and Taurus' record for reliability what could go wrong?

[Navin Johnson]

So you could buy a shield for $100 more in an era of $600 a case ammo of which you need to spend $1,200 to break it in so if the Benji is holding you back maybe you need a different sport?

You go first
