Yeah, on the rare occasion that I carry mine, (damn that Glock Kool-aid...) I enjoy the fact that it has a functional de-cocker. I feel a bit better about being able to avoid an ND with that present. But yes, for the price, its a hard gun to beat. Especially that life-time Taurus warranty. The Taurus of today is definitely a far cry from the Taurus of yester-year.
