I am not a huge fan of Taurus but have to say, this S&W "clone" was absolutely stellar, right out the box. The trigger is as good as if it had been worked on and the gun shoots well - in fact it is the gun my wife shoots best with.
The factory rubber grips were replaced with some Butler Creek grips and these fill the hand just a shade better and the gun balances beautifully. It is a seven shot however and try as I might it still phases me! It will take hot loads but I confine this to .38 Spl mostly and these days the gun sits idly by as a handy house gun. Good looker too I think.
