Was able to take a few pictures tonight. The FN is now sold so I can still make a trackday this month. Im sure ill pick one up around Christmas time when the company offers its "inventry reduction sale".

As you may or may not know the Taurus was released this year. Its a single stack 9mm. It holds 7+1 with an extended mag to be released sometime this month.
It features a trigger safety as well as a manual safety.
Overall fit and finish is great. Take down was at first a pain because taurus does not specify in the owners manual the trigger needs to be pulled to release the slide.

The gun fits nicely in Taugo IWB holster and concealed very easily. As soon as i find a pocket holster I will get it as well.
range report will be posted whenever I get a chance to shoot it again

To bad you sold the FNP 9, that's a nice piece. & not to heavy loaded 17 up. The Taurus looks like a nice little side kick to have though.
