The Taurus safety allows you to carry cocked and locked; the Beretta
has a hammer-dropping safety.  I prefer cocked and locked.  The
Taurus has smooth wood grips -- looks great, not quite as easy to
control as the Beretta's grips.  I was otherwise unable to tell
the difference between them.

Buy the Taurus and some replacement grips.
