Taurus 24/7 G2. $417
Taurus PT809. $395
EAA SAR B6P. $349

All 9mm. All are only 9mm available locally. There is also a compact version of the G2 not sure if I need that. All have 17 round mags. Taurus does have lifetime warranty, but SAR is Turkish and they have been doing this a long time and have never read a complaint.

Here is what gun is to be used for. Range gun regularly. Home defense behind my Saiga 12 ga. Wife will be shooting, one reason for 9mm. I will carry occasionally. Not regularly so not sure if I want compact, plus I have larger hands. What are your thoughts on these weapons? A rail is a must for my Surefire x300 ultra.

Why so much hate for them? What's so bad about Taurus? Any advice on a gun in sub 450$ range? And no I'm not saving a little extra. 450 is max budget, it's not how much I have saved... It's the max I want to spend. Won't go over that
I've owned a Taurus revolver once. It wasn't all that bad, as I sent it back to the company for some trigger work and to have the barrel ported.

But, when it comes to their semi-autos, I steer clear of them. I've shot enough of them to form an opinion and it's not good. That, and I know people who have had many problems / issues with the autos.

I guess a Taurus would be a good range or plinking gun, but I would never use one for self-defense. Then again, I would never carry a Ruger either as a self-defense gun.

When it comes to carry guns, if $$ is an issue, I'd just wait until I saved up enough to buy what I want, or maybe take on a 2nd job for a month or so and have the $$'s to spend.

Not even a speed six in 9mm?

I do like the Ruger MKII's and the 10/22's. Very good value for the money, and both have been proven for years.

When it comes to Taurus, I just don't have any use for them. I did buy a NIB Taurus .22LR revolver for my grand-son when he turns 21. He's only 13 as of now. But, I'm seriously re-thinking that. I have plenty of time, so may end up buying him a S&W 63 or something similar. That Taurus revolver has a terrible trigger pull. It's so bad, that even pulling the hammer back is a struggle.

I think Taurus has a place in the firearms industry, but it's not one that should be carried on your person. For hunting, plinking or target practice, yeah okay.
