I've owned a Taurus 617, the 2" seven shot tracker, a year now. Fired 1,000 rounds of 38 special +P, +P+, and .357 magnum through it without a single problem. I have been very pleased with it. From the current posts it appears that Taurus is starting to clean up its' act in regard to the quality of the product that is leaving the factory. It does appear that their customer service warranty dept. is still lacking, this may be due in part to being overloaded with older weapons sent in for repair.

As I am at a point where I've understand that life is to short to worry about having to deal with sub standard product or services. So I don't believe that I would purchase another Taurus product.

Have a safe 4th all.
