I want a reliable conceal gun. I have heard a lot about the Kel-Tec's. What about Taurus? Kel-Tec is 100 dollars cheaper but is it worth it to buy a Taurus instead? Does Taurus make a .40 (My other handguns are .40)? Thanks!

  the PT-100 is 40cal, but is a some what large gun, 5"barrel. The Pt140 is the compact 40 somwaht the same size as thePT-111 millennium, and they also make a pt-940, which is a compact p1-100. I would pay the extra for the Taurus. Have a 92 9mm and a relvover, been happy with both. Shot a Kel-tech 9mm, didn't care for it much, but I carry a glock 26 for concealed.

  Ive shot both and was more impressed with the Taurus,and the life time warranty from Taurus makes it worth the extra $100.00.
  
  Best!!!

  I should also add that Kel-Tec's guns also have a superb lifetime warranty. I have dealt with Kel-Tec for warrantied repair on my Kel-Tec guns, and I and everyone I know who owns a Kel-Tec find their service to be first rate.

  I'll take the KEL-TEC.Taurus is nothing but a KEL-TEC Copy.KEL-TEC's Lifetime Warranty even extends to second of third owners even thou it does not say so.

  I only have experience with the Taurus PT 111 (I think) Millenium in 9mm. I did NOT like the trigger pull at all. I do like other Taurus products, the Millenium is not one of them. I have heard both good and bad about Kel-Tec. As far as I know, both have a good warranty policy.
  
  Try before you buy if you can.

  Neighbor had one, he hated the trigger pull, and it jammed all the time! He sent it back twice, and still wasn't satisfied so he traded it. Maybe just a lemon but then again maybe not. Pa.

  I had a PT111 in under 6 months the slide disassembley pin broke in half. Sent it back to Taurus it took over 3 months to get it back and when it was returned they had squashed the rear sight. Eventually traded it. I do have a Model 605 revolver from them and this is a nice gun. Could be I was unlucky with the PT111 but I probably would not buy a pistol from them again.

  I've heard that semi-autos run hot and cold, but the Taurus wheelguns are pretty nice.
