Ultimate home defence pistol?

I have owned many many Taurus and have yet to find one that didnt function flawlessly. Granted some are a little rough around the edges may not be as pretty as I like or the trigger might not be as light as I prefer but they all function and for the price I'd highly recommend one for a carry gun or a truck gun. Or even a beginning shooter just starting out that dont have a grand to drop on a high dollar gun. As a matter of fact I still carry a Taurus TCP 380 everyday as a backup to my glock 26.

my daily carry is a taurus 709
does great, provided i keep it clean BUT i like the trigger pull on my ruger SR9 way better

Another was using an all brass 12 ga load in a pump shotgun. He said the sound of that brass cartridge getting jacked into the chamber was so un-nerving it got the attention of the intruder long before things escalated.
only time you're gonna hear me rack the slide on my 12 guage is after i fired the round that was in the chamber
im not gonna waste time and give away my position AND cut my shot count down by 20%
