Ammo finickiness, as well as the cheap zinc slide doesn't seem worth the price you pay to get a gun that says "Sig" on the side.... I have yet to meet somebody who’s happy with their Mosquito.

Not only is it the most picky damn thing about ammo I've ever seen, it comes with three front sights; all plastic. I've heard their centerfire pistols are good, so I guess all their good design and QC went into them. Ever seen a SiG Mosquito?

Some of which even have me scratching my head. .218 Bee? I guess someone will buy it. I give Taurus a lot of credit for coming out with new revolvers. Some of which even have me scratching my head.

It draws my eyes more naturally to the front sight. Could just be perception, but eh, it works. Thats what I like about the Taurus 1911. At local fun show prices, I can get one at about $550 with the Straight Eights. I’ve always shot better with the Straight Eights. It draws my eyes more naturally to the front sight.

It's a small price, but it makes the buying process all the better. Also Taurus has some image problems it needs to deal with, so the small amount of added cost to put decent sights on the gun will help them a lot. Glock has legions of fanboys, and lots of .gov contracts, so they might find it harder to loose base... It’s like how auto companies are now putting decent stereos in all their cars now.

I really want to make a joke here about pyschotic animal doctors self-medicating with booze, but it's almost too easy. I don't know what it is about the Tauri, mind you. I guess there is something about a reasonably price auto-chucker that holds 17 rounds of 9 sillileter that appeals to me. ha.
