Personally Kevin, i freaking love Taurus stuff, lotsa hate out there for just the few minor things that they have had problems with. I have owned several PT 92 variants, an 809, and Beth carries a ultralight .38 as well, loved every one of them and never had any issues. I have been looking at the G2 PT 111s myself, for a backup/hideaway/under desk/whatever gun. The 809 cant be beat for the money with the features and capacity IMHO.. if you dont like it let me know and ill take it off your hands lol
like
@tcdawg said, used service stuff is cheap, and usually well maintained. aimsurplus.com always has that used stuff, especially Glocks, u can buy em online and have em shipped to an FFL, my local guy charges $20 ea for the transfer. Also i cant remember if i have the name right, but maybe "the armory" in Athens does alot of police trade in stuff
