Is it because you owned other CZ's before the lemon CZ? It seems to me that many times if a shooter has a bad experience their first time out with a brand it's dead to them for life. On the other hand if they get a lemon after already having experience with a brand it seems to be far less of a problem.
The first CZ I owned was a 75B. I don't remember if I got the 82 next or the RAMI.

BUT CZ has a long established track record of producing quality firearms. The .40 S&W RAMI had known issues that CZ never could get right and they eventually quit making them.

Taurus OTOH has a long established track record of NOT producing quality firearms. They earned their reputation for producing junk long before I ever heard of the company.

Since I Know Someone Is Going To Ask My wife bought the Taurus on her own while picking up another gun (The RAMI) that we had on lay-away for me. Had I been there when she bought it I would have done everything in my power to talk her out of it. That said it did work out for the best because I took 200 of the money I got selling the Taurus and bought a 4006
