Taurus Hand Guns are Good.

[riggins_83]

I can sum this up from something I saw at a gun store I worked at. We had a Taurus Tracker come in, when we opened it up to set it on the display case there was a 2" "extension" from the end of the barrel. It was very thin (about .2" or less). Upon inspection the barrel itself (not the stainless steel around the barrel) hadn't been cut so we had a 2" extension that was basically rifling. This means nobody visually inspected the gun and the gun certainly wasn't test fired (was not a small blemish or something hard to notice). I understand every company has lemons.. this was above and beyond.

The best part... Taurus's response when they saw we were displaying it on the shelf .

Mediocre at best.

OK, treefarmernc and other Taurus lovers (and wiseguys), I have tried to be fair to the company but here is the bottom line:

I would not own one and would not recommend anyone else waste their money on them. Buy a quality product like High Point instead.

Now what is the psychology of people who spend time defending shoddy products and dump on people who recognize trash for what it is?

That, guys, is a NO.

YES

[.357SIG]

Both yes and no.

My model 85 is perfect. Father-in-laws model 941 is a POS. There is no simple yes or no to this question. Taurus has been hit-or-miss for a while.

Thanks for the laugh..........now I have to clean my diet coke off the computer.

[dgludwig]

There, that wasn't so hard, was it?

[Skans]

The fact is that if you get a good Taurus product you will brag about it and denounce as a liar anyone who suggests they can produce a bummer. And if you get a poor Taurus product, you will be convinced that those who like them are lunatics or people who hang them on the wall. Both are right and both are wrong. And that is both human nature and a problem for Taurus.

Good pooint, Jim. I think this sums it up very nicely.

I reiterate. Every thing that you have posted could have been simply summed up as NO. I have no problem with your opinion of the quality of Taurus just your inability to hold up to the OP question. Like I said in my last post, there are plenty of other threads that ask for full opinions.

Lol, were you REALLY expecting to get pages of "YES" or "NO" responses? That would be an interesting thread to read

For future reference the "keep it simple, one word answer" threads almost NEVER work... Some questions can't be answered with a simple YES or NO.

My answer - Revolvers: YES, Semi-Autos - ehhh, not really.

I guess I just like hopeless causes. Perhaps that’s why I like Taurus.

[Smilin Jack]

No, save your money and buy something nice and dependable......like a Smith. You won't regret spending the extra money........yea, I know....a lot of extra money.

Mr. Keenan has over 10,000 post on this forum. I'll bet over half are for Taurus bashing. He must have had the worst problem possible to be that bitter against a manufacturer. Sorry about your luck sir, others have different experiences.

[matt1004]

Yes

[dairycreek]

Taurus handgun quality is unreliable and their customer service is very bad.

[old bear]

I've put 500 plus rounds of .357 magnum and 38 special +p and +p+ through my Taurus 617 without a problem, in fact it is my daily carry pistol.

So YES!!

[Shadi Khalil]

9.

[JackL]

No.

[turbotype87]

NO, I have owned two and they both were junk. the old saying goes you get what you pay for.

[Taurus_9mm]

Yes of course.

[Golfin Gator]

85UL and 709.

Yes

[GojuBrian]

I have put nearly 500 rounds through my pt111 stainless millenium pro 9mm without a problem. I'm looking to sell it though.

[flashover251]

Yes

Taurus seems to do well at copies, like S&W rvolvers, Beretta semi-auto's, Colt 1911's. The other stuff is more hit and miss. After a bad experience with a semi-auto in the late 90's, I originally didnt like them. But after trying a Taurus snubbie for the wife I am not getting rid of either of my snubbies, even for a S&W. The PT 1911's seem to get favorable reviews also.

[sonick808]

Yes

ratio is a bit high, but yes
