C'mon dude. That isn't surprising is it? Taurus enthusiasts on their own forum wouldn't be a bit biased towards Taurus. There's no way. It doesn't happen here with S&W firearms so it can't happen there.



All I'm saying is use some whit of critical thinking when determining credibility via negative affirmation.

The Taurus forum are some of the nicest folks. I like lurking their board, and participating here and there.

Then go buy one dude. Life is too short. Go into it knowing your chance of buying one with flaws that made it past QC are higher than with other manufacturers. Lifetime warranty = send it back.

I had a bent trigger bar on my used Taurus PT92. I had to send it back to Taurus on my dime. It came back in a total of 11 days which included weekends and a federal holiday. Not only did they replace the bent trigger bar, they replaced all the wear items (springs, etc). I even got a new set of standard Taurus plastic grips and new grip screws.

A friend + a coworker had similar experiences. One had a stainless PT92 that shot low left in everyone's hands. The other had a defective magazine catch. Both were covered under Taurus lifetime warranty. Turn around time was less than two weeks. I can't detract from Taurus' current customer and repair services.

Don't forget re-strike capability.

I honestly hope you get a problem free example of a 709. I wish I had.
