Coming off assembly lines, probably assembled with air tools there is going to be foul ups and lemons no matter what the
product. Human hands cost money. As far as guns go these were
rare occurrences before bean counters took over the gun companies. Having said that, at one time Taurus & Rossi were
fairly cheap compared to American brands. It was a case of you
get what you pay for. They are no longer cheap, maybe less than
American made but not much. The quality has improved some
but not to the level of USA guns. Gun for gun there is a lot more
problems with Taurus than any other handguns that guys drag
in here. If I was still in business of selling new guns I wouldn't
sell them. It wouldn't be worth the aggravation of customers bringing them back. The big box sporting goods stores operate
under a different business plan. Get it out the door and if there is
any problems they refer to makers customer service.
