The price on the Taurus is low enough that you could buy it and resell it for a profit.
Sounds like he is in a hurry for some bucks, so if you wouldn't feel guilty taking advantage, you could some profit even if you don't want to keep the Taurus.

heard a lot of guys talk great things about the Kahr; simply the thinest out there and reliable; i carry the G36 because it's a single stack; thin and packs the power; .45

Far too many issues with the Taurus pistols. You might be safer to hand it to the bad guy and let him shoot at you with it. Should take himself out.

What I've heard about Taurus pistols is, stay away from semi-auto's but the revolvers are good. My dad had a .357 Taurus revolver that we never had any problems out of.

BTW,, just to update,, still waiting on the 700,, he just hasnt brought it up to the mountain house yet.. the taurus I passed on,, he did sell it to another buddy tho,, took it to the range and it jammed too much too often.. I ended up buying a BN RIA compact 45 1911.. 200 rounds thru with all kinds of cheap dirty to good ammo and not one FTF/FTE yet.. and if I rest on the bench,, I can place a 3" grouping at 25 yards,, freehand,, well more like 1' grouping,, but its getting better..

Yes, I have seen a couple different Taurus' fail in the range. If they can fail on the range then they can fail on the street. Taurus makes copies of other fine firearms, but does not always copy the quality. Although I think $200 for a plinker is OK, I wouldn't carry it if my life depended on it.
