I had the "pleasure" of handling an unfired Taurus 94 (9 shot .22) yesterday. The trigger could have been the worst out-of-the-box trigger I've ever pulled. The D.A. was very heavy, and gritty. The S.A. was lighter, of course, but still way too heavy for a revolver- and, it was also gritty. O.K....I know that, after a whole lot of shooting, it might smooth out some. But no gun should be this bad from the maker.
Shoe on the other foot: I used to have a Taurus 85UL .38 snub. I sold it because I like to shoot a lot, and a 15 ounce .38 ain't a joy to shoot frequently. But- it was tight, locked up perfectly, and was accurate. A nice pocket gun. My point? Some folks rave about Taurus quality, while others scoff at it. My guess is that they're both right. Taurus just has a quality control problem.
They need to focus on that, rather than bringing out a load of new whiz-bang models every year.
