Regardless of experience with Taurus handguns,that really doesn't come into relevance here. It's obvious that this revolver has been tooled with by someone after the fact of manufacturer's production and did so poorly.
This is true. Thus I shall refrain from any further Taurus jokes.
All I'm going to say on the brand subject. Current Smith and Wesson's are crap. I'll buy Taurus WAY before considering a Smith for a lot more, Hillary hole and all. My Smiths have all been older. I won't buy a new one. I will buy a new Taurus.
Just like I said, it's true of any brand. All of my Smiths are newer, and they have all been great, except for the price. Nice shooting by the way.
I apologize for posting the joke, as it clearly has steared this thread on the path to oblivion.
Until next time MC. I enjoy reading your posts as I typically agree with everything you say, but I know we'll go around again on the merits of Taurus QC. Enjoy your Tauri all, and good shooting. I'll stick with my Rugers and Smiths.
You know the one thing I didn't and I never hear anyone note is that while my experiences have been 100% bad, and yours MC sound like they have all been 100% good, we are both talking about a very very limited sample size when compared to how many Taurus guns are out there. I think we are on the oposite extreme ends of the bell curve. Hmmmm, lets buy a 1000 Taurus guns and a 1000 Smiths and 1000 Rugers and perform a statistical review!!!!
If only we had the time and money..... The market would be a better place for all. Oh well. Until next time.
OP, the bottom line is..... Don't buy that gun! It has been mistreated!
