I was not a fan or Taurus based on the bashing they were getting but I traded for one to see if they were as wrong as they were about the Hi-Point I bought. The old Taurus 84 I got was a good gun and I ordered a new TCP. I liked it and bought a new PT111-G2 followed by a used 605 and then a new 856. They are all good and reliable guns as is the Heritage Rough Rider (bought before Taurus bought them). I shop around a lot before I buy a gun and the price difference between a Taurus and "brand names" is substantial and frequently the brand names are over double the price of a Taurus. I don't find my S&Ws and Rugers to be a lot better than my Taurus' considering the price difference.
