We live in a very small world these days, and where a product is manufactured is an almost meaningless consideration in and of itself.

Absolutely not true as a former mid-level manager within a high-tech manufacturing company I can tell you without reservation that at least some companies will only get high end parts from a handful of nations known for quality. The general components may come from wherever but the critical ones that made/broke reliability and performance dont always come from everywhere..

How much of that applies to the gun world I am not an authority to say. Taurus is ISO 9001 certified but for the most part thats a very basic standard that just about everyone meets.

Its your money do what you will... I hope you get a great pistol from Taurus.. I truly do but if you dont... well it is, what it is...

As a manufacturing engineer in the defense aircraft industry for about 35 years, I totally disagree with your assessment that location in the world limits the ability of a manufacturer to produce quality, and your contention that location in the world dictates quality.

What gets me with the thread is the actual reiteration of customer disatifaction as though I "missed" it the first time (almost presumably as though my IQ doesn't allow for the initial comprehension). I say fire away at anything you find personally unsatisfactory as it's a free country (still, on paper

) but I see no need for (the seeming) recidivism absent an agenda.

Why even pose the question if you and you alone are the only one in possession of all the facts... I see no point in this post, it serves no purpose, no learning going on here, just stubbornness. I wish you well but I will comment no more on this thread...

I did not pose a question. I simply disagreed with your opinion. My point is, location in the world is irrelevant to making a legitimate assessment of quality and performance...those criteria are not dependent on plant location in the world.
