Because when I was going to but a Sig or a Glock for home protection, the sales rep at the gun store told me to get the Taurus. Why?
He said look here young man I can sell you an expensive Sig or a Glock, but most in home confrontations will happen within 6 feet. So, you're better off getting this Tauras for half the price, plus it's a good gun.
Taurus is made in Brazil can the cost is cheaper to make, so the prices are lower.
