I understand that my (anecdotal) experience is not everyone's so please know that is a personal opinion. I know others love Taurus and I do not claim they are wrong for that.
Never seen a Stallard before. It manages to be uglier than a Hi-Point which is saying something.
I’m right there with you. I’ve heard mainly good things as far as reliability with hi-points, but I just don’t care for them as far as appearance. Some people are going to be offended by this next statement but I could care less its an opinion I found true. A couple years ago I was at a LGS waiting with my mind set to buy a Beretta px4 compact. This guy looking at some guns next to me asks which one am I interested in? So I say the PX4 he laughs and says a lot of people love those guns but he can’t understand why anyone would pay so much for a gun that looks a lot like a Hi-Point. I laughed and he walked off. I stood there and I stared at the pistol for a little but his comment kept coming back to me. Then I said oh crap this does look a lot like a Hi-Point! I ended up buying a 1911 instead
