When I was looking for a small pocket pistol, I looked at the Ruger, Taurus and the keltec.
I picked the Taurus over all the others because it had the best trigger, the slide stayed open after the last shot and the magazine release can be converted for a left handed person. Plus the fact it was $100 less didn't hurt my feelings any.
So far I have over 800 round of my cast reloads and about 100 rounds of factory defense loads through it with 3 different OEM magazines without any problems.
