Very satisfied new Taurus owner.

Now I know where all the Taurus products that work have gone!

I took a stainless PT1911 in .38 Super in on a trade recently. It was my plan to flip it for something else but decided to see how it shot. It shot well, so well that I got a set of dies and started loading for it. A 115 grain Zero JHP and Power Pistol powder have proven to be a quite accurate combination and it is pretty zippy too. Guess I will hang on to it a bit longer. Kind of changed my impression of Taurus albeit it is based on this one pistol.

My 1990 Taurus was the best car I ever owned.

I did not know people bought handguns to resale them and not expect to loss some money. I have passed some firearms off to family members but only sold two . A KT pf-9 and p-11 . All the rest I have bought since 1973 I still have .

I only judge from my personal experience with any firearm manufacture, and have never had a problem with my TCP 380 or old model 85. Although Taurus isn't my favorite brand, I can't say anything bad about the two I own. People write all Taurus products off after one bad example or worse after reading bad stories on the internet about them, if that's the case they need to take a look through this forum or any other firearm forum and see examples of a dud made from every manufacture and in every model that slips through every once in a while.

My Taurus 82 is a good gun, it may not win at Camp Perry but it's reliable and goes bang.

I had two older 82's that were complete junk.

Then again, I have a 1990's production Model 80 and a 65 that have thus far been perfect, nice shooting guns with good actions. Taurus revolvers don't respond well to lighter springs so I just leave them alone.

I don't have any Taurus autos, probably because I'm not much of an auto fan.

Taurus IMO is a 50/50 crapshoot, I wouldn't buy one unless it was in person, I could inspect it and the price was fair. I have been burned buying some Taurus "bargains" on GunBroker. It just seems for every "My Taurus has been flawless for 10,000 rounds" stories, there's a story of a major headache.

I've had good luck with three of their revolvers and still own one. I probably won't be buying more of them but was pretty much happy with what I had. I did manage to get back my money plus some of the couple I sold but I bought right and had them awhile too.

One of my most oft carried pieces off duty is one of my Taurus PT-111G2's. They're 100% reliable, light, thin, compact and accurate.

For all intents and purposes they are the same size & weight as the S&W Shield and barely over an inch wide (1.2") yet have a respectable 12+1 payload.

 

[GatorFarmer]

I own and use a PT92. I like the safety arrangement better than a Beretta. I did really seek it out, I had gotten it on a trade. I had a box of M9 mags, so a bit of filing and I could use them.

I do not, personally, trust their revolvers or polymer autos.

 

[TX-Dennis]

I have about 5000 rounds through a PT609 Pro (an older design very similar to the PT 111). It's been 100% reliable with no hint of trouble. It's not the most accurate pistol I own, but it is equal in reliability with the best of them, and better than some. The accuracy issue could be me, I suppose. I've shot just about every brand of FMJ through it along with Speer Gold Dots, Winchester Silvertips, and Remington UMC (cheap) JHP. It likes them all - even reloads and a few rounds of who knows what that my kid has picked up off the ground at the range. Roughly the size of a Shield but thicker, it is by my side as I type loaded with 13+1 of Speer 124gr Gold Dots.

The only "problem" it has is that the finish is not very durable, and it shows a good deal of holster wear.

Second range trip with the Taurus PT92, and another 250rds ran flawlessly. This was my seventh Taurus semiautomatic acquisition in the past eleven months, and all of them have been remarkably reliable and a pleasure to shoot.

 

[BearBio]

Wife just got a Generation 4,9mm for carry. Not a hiccup. I wanted something match but I got a "baby" Glock. At least the ammo is the same. We've had 3 Taurii (?). The 38 snubby sucked canal water. The Raging Bull was great (454)==traded it off when I sent a SBH to Reeder for conversion and her 9mm. Quality certainly seems to be improving.

 

[RubenZ]

Honestly Taurus revolvers aren't that bad. Especially the early years. Their semi's mehhh there are far better alternatives out there.

 

[RalphMP9FS]

Added another superb Taurus 9mm PT-911 SS to the stable:

 

[samnev]

I own a PT 1911. I feel it's a lot of gun for the money and it has worked flawlessly and very accurate.

 

[amazingflapjack]

My experience as well-only with my 3 Taurus revolvers. It would be hard to get unbiased opinions on a S&W sight, who formerly owned Taurus. Very fond of my old production 441 (44 spl) my mod 44 (44 mag) and my mod 608 (8 shot 357) same large frame as the mod 44.

 

[RalphMP9FS]

Today's range session with the new Taurus PT-911. This is one sweet pistol that's a real pleasure to shoot. This particular target was set at 30', standing two hand hold, rapid fire.

 

[drgbike]

[/IMG] Bought this for looks but this baby swallows 38 supers with out a hitch, I would buy a dozen if I had the money. This is just one of several autos and revolvers I have and all have been great

 

[65ny]

I'm surprised that there aren't more "Taurus Sucks" posts. Those are the norm. I have, and have had, several Taurus products. Most of them have been very good. They don't compare with high end guns, but that's because they aren't meant to. I love my Beretta 92, but I also like my PT92 a lot. There are better built, more refined firearms out there but that doesn't make a Taurus a piece of junk. I drive a Dodge, but I don't expect it to be a Caddy.
BTW: That pimped out 38 Super in the post above mine is awesome.

My only experience with Taurus was with a PT99 I owned in the late 1980s. It worked 100% as I recall and was combat accurate. I liked the safety better than the Beretta. There was nothing wrong with the PT99 but I eventually traded it on a 25-5. I recall I added maybe $50 for the 25-5. But no one wanted revolvers back then. Everyone wanted wondernines.
