I owned several Tauri, both revolvers and a 1911. Only problem I had was a terrible DA trigger pull on a 17hmr. This was quickly fixed by a little polishing. I'm primarily a SW person but nothing's sacred anymore. I bought a SW Mod 637 Airweight that, out of the box, had a gritty thumb release and once refused to open the cylinder. Sent it back to SW; they supposedly fixed it and back it came. Same "gritty problem, back it went again. Came back and no noticeable difference. Not to mention this gun has the heaviest DA trigger I've ever experienced. Luckily I have a good friend who's a gunsmith. He's got it now for some work. I'm sure when it comes back it'll be fine. But it's sad that you have to go through this with a Smith. I have to add that my older Smiths are smooth as glass.
