Unless you're eligible for the class action suit. Then the pistol might have some value.
Taurus Millennium Recall

I don't doubt that the OP has a good one. But the odds of getting a "good one" when you buy one off the shelf are distinctly lower than what you can expect if you buy a quality pistol.

I understand that the OP discusses this in terms of a BUG. But BUGS are typically carried for self-defense. A lot of trainers (notably Clint Smith) point out that if you end up in a situation where you need your BUG, you'll be in some really deep poop -- and you'll really need a dependable gun.

Don't the M&P Shields still have a rebate ?
