Another ridiculous Revolver from Taurus

[mrchuck]

I have a Taurus 710 series all Titanium light blue color 2"bbl, 7 shot that is a fine 357 caliber revolver.
The workmanship in this one is exactly like S&W quality.
Also very pricey!

I have both S&W and Tauri...

My first CF pistol was a Taurus PT99... got it in my early 20's... I am in my 50's now... other than grips and recoil spring it is as I bought it... have put well over 10,000 rounds thru it... maybe 20k... never will sell it... even got a 22 conversion for it... My S&W collection runs from 1959 to 2006 and I have 5 times as many so I like them a lot too... the PT99 is not my only Taurus... PT1911 45acp, tracker Talo 44C 3" 44 mag & 450 UltraLite 2" 45lc - unported... and a second PT99... they are all fine weapons and would trust my life with any of them... I for one have never understood the bad rep they get... I am not that lucky and I would think if they stink as bad as some people say at least one of mine would be a hunk of junk... I prefer to shoot my PT1911 more than my Series 70 Gold Cup or Early Kimber... blindfolded you probably couldn't tell the difference between the Kimber and the Taurus... IF any of you want to rid themselves of the worthless Taurus they got fooled into getting let me know... I will take all you want to give me and make sure they go to a good home...

I saw a "Raging Judge" at a gun show this past weekend. I gave it a brief glance, and kept walking. No opinion of it one way or the other, as I see no need for it in my personal collection or in any type of personal self defense situation.

I think some Taurus products are innovative from an engineering and design standpoint. That doesn't mean I think they're practical in every case.

I don't have any use for anything Taurus makes. I have shot
the Judge, several of them. Accuracy of 45 was lousy, the only
reason for it is to make it legal.

What does that mean, "the only reason for it is to make it legal"? Make what legal?

Do some research on Taurus and their big recall they had a while back and will tell you all you need to know about Taurus.

As if Smith & Wesson has never had any recalls.

I'm sure they have. I'm not a S&W fan boy or anything like that. This thread is not about S&W it's about Taurus.

Friends don't let friends buy Taurus.

May be an old thread but I like that...a lot!

I have been a Smith fan boy for years and own many but I just recently bought a Taurus M85 SS Ultralite. Being in Calif. it's in jail right now and haven't shot it yet but I checked it out at my FFL and so far am mighty impressed with it's build quality.
