Well I've defended Taurus guns before, but when they start eating cats I can no longer condone them.

Well I don't think it was a Taurus that ate the cat...but today my neighbor found a dead horse. we got a hole dug and buried it. No way to prove what killed it...But it wasn't MY Taurus lol. I have a friend with a little Taurus 22 kit gun. Like a S&W 63..but not as good a shooter. Many FTFs.

Only Taurus I've owned was a very old, worn (no finish left) M65, a clone of the Smith 65. Fine mechanically, accurate enough. Sold it when I was short of cash.
I've looked at their M92, but never shot it. Seemed well made. I've heard good reports from people who owned them.

My wife bought one in 94 and it was a very good car. I don't think S&W or Colt could build a better one.

For the feller who asked why? ^^^^^^What he said. ^^^^^^^^
That model is built in the same factory and equipment of the original Beretta 92. You would think they could get it right.??
I think the problem with Taurus is they make to many different models of guns, they should slim down their offerings.
They have the equipment and technology, they have nice designs on their semi autos. I had a couple semi auto 9mm Pt 111 . It worked just fine. Not a tack driver but never had a issue with it. Their 1911 is supposed to be good. Their revolvers have some issues.

I shot a Taurus Semi A pistol at a range. Could not stand it!
My father gave me his Taurus 38 spc snubby rev. Flawless!

My Taurus Judge is going back to the factory for the third time for the exact same problem - when shells are loaded in to cylinder, there isn't enough clearance to permit the cylinder to rotate. It is true single shot revolver as the cylinder has to be opened each time and the cylinder rotated to reposition the next unfired shell and then closed.

Any mechanical device can fail to function. This includes S&W, Glock, Sig, H&K etc.
Taurus just does it more often.

I have never owned a Taurus revolver, but I know enough guys who have that showed them to me to give me pause when buying one.
The first was a Ranging Bull in .44 Magnum, after six rounds of factory ammo the rear sight broke, I mean to the point it sheared off where you adjust it. Had to send it back to the factory, came back almost as loose as when he sent it.
Another friend bought a brand new Taurus 1911, after a hundred rounds or so the thumb safety on the left side of the frame broke into two pieces. When you looked at it you could see a casting void where the metal did not fill in properly or was too cold. He ended up trading it.
The third was a guy with a brand new Judge, a full cylinder worth of .410 and he thought something was weird, the front sight had fallen off. It was in the grass so it took a while but he found it.
Another had a Taurus Millenium, after less than 100 rounds the frame cracked.
I have never had a bad Taurus, but I know enough people who have.
