I'm about to 'pull the trigger' (sorry) and purchase this. Any thoughts about the Taurus brand? This seems like a reasonable price, and most reviews I've read have been favorable.

Taurus is good, never heard any bad reviews.

But if you're going for a sub-compact size, you may want to consider the one you've been posting pix of for a while.... the Glock 27

The SwissMiniGun is less than 6 cm long, and shoots 2.34 mm rim-fire ammunition. It can be ordered in 18K gold, and even set with jewels.

Are you looking for concealed carry? If not, I'm not sure a 3" barrel, even in 9mm, is useful except for very close quarters. It is a nice price though. Have you looked at Para in these sizes? Look at their warthog's. Woof Woof.

Oh, also, have you bought from Bud's before? I've heard of other people (on gun forums) having problems with them, including receiving guns that were not really the quality adverstised online.

Depending on the gun and sales, I'd go to either Wild Sports or Sportsman's Warehouse. But I bought my last from an online factory authorized dealer. Cheap cheap (used J&G as the local FFL).

Gun Room in EG is a little pricey but there is a small shop across the street (Grant Line?) that seems to have good prices on new/used guns.

For me, you can't really go wrong with Sig, HK or Glock 9mm's.

Wild Sports is great, check them first but you may want to price compare with Sportsmans to see who has the better price - both will likely have that gun in stock

There is actually a useful mini gun available from North American Arms, a couple friends of mine have these - this is the smallest (usable) gun available

The SwissMiniGun is usable at almost half the size!

NAA Guardian 25 = 11.176cm
SwissMiniGun = 6cm
