Purchased two revolvers new:

Purchased a .22-PLY and a 25-PLY new through Buds,,,

My statement to people who are considering a Taurus is this:

Check out the gun very carefully before signing the check,,,
If you get a good one from their factory it will probably be good forever,,,
If you get a bad one from the factory it's anyone's guess whether they will ever fix it properly.

That's my experience,,,
Your experience might be different.

Cylinder spun freely out of the box,,, Sent to Taurus and received barely turning cylinder. Taurus blue 4" 990 Tracker in .22 LR. Cylinder would freeze up after a half a box of ammo,,, Sent to Taurus and received no improvement. Purchased a .22-PLY and a 25-PLY new through Buds,,, Never had a problem with either of these two guns. The .25 doesn't get shot very much,,, The .22 is a solid performer.
