I just got home from the range and am very impressed with the Taurus Slim.
My expectations on the drive to the range were not extremely high. I thought the Slim would have significant recoil and not be very accurate but I was wrong on both accounts.
I put about 125 rounds of 115 grain FMJ through it without any problems. I did thoroughly clean and lube the gun before going to the range as it was shipped with quite a bit of grease and I thought that would affect its performance. It performed flawlessly. I am ready to put another few hundreds rounds through it just to make sure.
The trigger is a bit different than what i am use to and it took a few rounds to figure it out. Basically, in SA mode the trigger travels about 3/4 of an inch but only about the last third of that has any resistance. Once you get to that last little bit you feel the resistance and then the firing pin releases. What I liked about the trigger was you only needed to let the trigger reset last little bit for your 2nd shot. You do not have to let the trigger travel back to its original position. Makes for quick follow up shots.
One suggestion to Taurus for improvement...change the color of the follower in the magazines from yellow to black. The reason being is that when you look to see how many rounds you have in the magazine it is difficult to tell the difference from the color of the brass and the follower and would be easy to think you have one more bullet than you actually do.
Here are couple of pictures. I really like this gun and am now looking for a good IWB holster for carry..
