Here's my Taurus history:

PT92 - reliable but I couldn't shoot if worth a damn, it was me. Sold it.

94 #1 - bought it a few years ago, pretty gun, my first revolver. Had a tendency to fail to fire. I thought it was the trasfer bar not clearing. Luckily I had bought it used from a shop that takes things back within 30 days if you are not happy for any reason. Got the store credit and picked up a Ruger MkII, very happy with that.

94 #2 - bought it last week and shot it a few days later. Lots of failures to fire, firing pin barely hitting the rim of the round, and hammer lock up when trying to shoot single action. This was purchased from Cabelas, all gun sales are final, but they were happy to send it to Taurus at no expense to me. They think it will be back in a couple weeks, we'll see. It did shoot straight when it shot. The double action pull is quite heavy.
