A buddy of mine has the Taurus and likes it a lot. So far so good at the range. I just can't get past their old reputation for shoddy workmanship from 20 years ago or so. I hear they're running a tight ship nowadays but I'd still rather go with a premium maker. YMMV.

I've actually got one myself & it was hard to get past their old reputation. Sad thing is that my Taurus will outshoot my Colt, Springfields, and Kimbers. I say sad because it's about half the price of some of them. It will never go up in value like many firearms, but I knew this before I got it...
