My limited experience with Taurus is mostly handguns and wasn't good. Other Taurus I've seen wasn't inspiring either. Not that they are all bad but bad enough that I don't want one. Years ago I would make the local gun show circuit and back then there were more folks walking the aisles wanting to unload (sell/trade) their Taurus products than any other brand of handgun. Things may have improved but I'm not ready to try it.
