I own two Taurus guns now (454 and a 41 Mag). Had another (454) which was bad from the factory (timing & trigger) so I got rid of it. The other two guns that I currently own work fine.
If Taurus offered something unique that I was interested in - - say a small framed d.a. revolver in 45 Colt - - I might consider them. But only if I were able to see the gun for myself and thoroughly go over it. In addition, that gun would have to fill a current role that another gun that I own doesnt do adequately; so thats a tough requirement.
I don't think of Taurus very often when looking for guns because of the 'hassle & time factor'. To me, its not worth a couple or three hundred dollars to risk spending extra time trying to have an item fixed. -- And when it comes to self defense arms, I'm not willing to trust an item that may be unreliable.
It doesnt seem that Taurus' reputation has improved over recent years.
