I'd give it a buy now! It is a great shooter, and from all the tests I have read it will take a beating and still go bang! I read one where a guy buried it in sand and mud, drove over it multiple times with a Jeep and still no problems.
The .45 Auto OSS DS version was in the running to win the US Army SOCOM competition for a new high cap .45 Auto and is still used by the Brazilian Special Forces. It was a leader through all the endurance and accuracy testing and according to some sources was in the lead to win when Congress stopped the buy. All four of the competitors (S&W M&P, HK USP, Springfield Armory XD and the OSS) are all very, very good pistols IMO.
I've owned nine different Taurus handguns, and my OSS .45 ACP is my favorite one (so far). It is amazingly accurate, ergonomically designed, and one "hoss" of a pistol!
I have a 9mm OSS and love it. I have around 1000 rounds through it and have put the last 700 since it was last cleaned and have had maybe 2 failures. Its definitely a keeper.
I have been using my OSS .45 as my primary carry gun for the last six month. I love the way it shoots. I think the double strike capability is a huge advantage in a defense gun. I like having the choice of carrying cocked and locked or decocked. Holster choice has gotten much better over the last year.
It is an excellent choice.
+1 for both the 9mm and .45 my son and I own both and they are both over 1,000 rounds without a problem. I fired 60 rounds out of my OSS .45 yesterday and had no problems at all and 64 rounds out of my Les Baer with one failure to feed. My Les Baer has about 7,000 rounds through it and the mags are all original but the OSS has been impressive so far.
I own one in 40 S&W and one in 9mm. Buy it and you will never regret it. The only regret I have right now is that I dont have enough money for the 45 Im wanting.
