A Taurus was my first gun, and it was my worst. It had major problems that Taurus couldn't seem to fix, even though they were beyond obvious, it being a Model 83 revolver. I bought it brand new, the day after I turned 21.
Timing, crunchy action, bad lock up, all that was fixed in it's two trips to Taurus. The totally messed up rifling was unfixible, and Taurus twice wrote back that nothing was wrong with it. One look with a bore light would have showed them something was seriously messed up with it. It leaded so bad that after six shots you had to take a brass screwdriver and pound the lead out of it.
I was so happy when I sold it for a slight loss. One positive, it did have one of the best nickel plating jobs I have ever seen. Since then, I've been tempted, but I've resisted the urge to try another one.
