Not all Taurus revolvers are Lemons. I bought a Taurus model 455 , a 5 shot snub nosed 45 acp revolver in 2004. That's 13 years of moderate use , 100 to 200 rounds per month fired at the local indoor range adds up to 15,000 rounds in round numbers .
No problems to date, it is the most accurate 45 acp I own (3 are 1911's).

It will never be for sale because I really like this little power house. A large bore snub nosed revolver with a ported barrel is just an awesome little powerhouse in a compact package....Don't believe all the negative press spewed out about Taurus revolvers , not all of them are bad .

I've heard a lot of S&W horror stories, not every one that rolls of any assembly line will be perfect and sometimes customer service is poor from all of them.
