In my experience, Taurus makes good guns, they simply have such poor Customerservice that when something goes wrong, the process of having it repaired/replaced isn't smooth, so you end up hearing more stories about folks getting lemons and then struggling to have it serviced than you do about folks who get ones that work fine and perform reliably for years without issue.
I own two Taurus firearms myself, a Judge Magnum Revolver and a PT92 Pistol.
The Judge I've owned since 2017 and has never given me any trouble.
The PT92 is brand new, but is so remarkably smooth and well finished that it's left me wondering whether Taurus has improved over the years or if the PT92 is just a more refined design.
Just look at that fit and finish, I'd say that it's flawless, but there is one small flaw in the machining...
Note the small gouges beneath the rear sights in the hammer channel.
Other than that, it's perfect, and for the price I paid, I'm more than satisfied with what I've got.
