I've seen some Taurus semi-autos that are OK. My son bought a Taurus 1911 against my advice that has turned out to be a decent gun. But the revolvers are another matter. I've never seen one that I would consider to be acceptable. They remind me of Tasco optics. People I knew would buy Tasco scopes because they were inexpensive and they would always end up failing by fogging up or breaking inside or whatever. Then I'd read about how Tasco has improved. But the next one I'd come across would still be garbage. It has been the same with Taurus revolvers over the years. They are always hyped as being improved in quality over the previous ones. But when I see one, it still has the same old fundamental problems. For those that say they have good ones, congratulations. You have beat the odds. But I'd suggest you wasted your luck the day you bought it. You should have used the luck buying a lottery ticket instead. The payoff would have been better.
