I have had an eye on the Taurus as well, but I was one of those really wanting a 3" barrel. I have an SP-101 4" and love its versatility, but it's a bit long for convenient carry. I've had pretty consistent results with Accurate #9 for stouter loads. For the lighter loads I use for target work and playtime, unique, bullseye and titegroup all did okay. I tried lil'gun, and found it ran much hotter than the published loads stated, less predictable for me. I won't be using it again.
