I've owned several of them over the years, from 22 LR to 44 Mag. Never had a problem with any of them. I didn't try to pound them into the ground or anything, but they all got shot, some more than others. Most of the ones I owned were from the late 70's through the 80's, to a 2014 Tracker 44.
I never kept one long. I'm always selling and trading something to get something else, so the fact that I don't have any now, doesn't mean anything really. The only Taurus I have now is G3 semi. It ain't going nowhere. Good gun.
