The examples I gave are pretty specific, and most of the complaints I have read have fallen into one of those categories. I rarely read unsupported bashing, so I wonder how it is that you find so much of it, and so little that has "absolutely no reason to justify" it.

FYI, a lot of people who mistrust Taurus are quite happy with Springfield Armory 1911s. For those people, at least, it is not about "Made in Brazil" being a problem - though that is a popular red herring.

Also, as somebody who has bought a surplus K frame S&W for under $250, I can assure you it's not about a belief that inexpensive equals bad, though that is another popular red herring.
