When I was at the SHOT show my brother and I looked at the new Taurus spectrum. I was impress with the ergo dynamics. The trigger was very nice even through it was rated at 7lbs it felt a lot nicer.
With a lot of compact pistols have horrible triggers. The trigger on the 5 or I tried were very consistent and user friendly.
As a shooter that is capable of using the most out of a pistol accuracy I wish it had some larger adjustable sites.
The feel is very nice and handy as was with all Taurus products it remains to be seen if it is reliably. Being design and made totally in the USA gives me some hope.

A pick for the "best" new product at the Shot Show is a highly subjective thing. The item that most impressed me was at the Taurus booth. It is the likely replacement for the Taurus 738 TCP, the Taurus Spectrum.
It seems that Taurus has not been able to keep up with demand for the 738. The 738 has an excellent reputation for reliability. It is small, easy to conceal, and
is in the popular .380 caliber. I liked the ergonomics of the 738. So why has Taurus introduced what appears to be a replacement for the 738?
