I guess having Taurus auto can save lives . Shooter at 5/3rd bank in Cincinnati this summer had a Taurus it jammed giving our men in Blue time to end it
It's manufacturing, you can't catch every mistake and you can't inspect every part, unless you want every gun on the market to double in price to have that done.
When a gun clearly has an issue and doesn't get fixed the first time after being sent in for work, then I swear off the company for good... Marlin.
Ordered my Spectrum last Sunday and picked it up yesterday. 2 day shipping like they said.
Instruction manual says to load the mags for at least 48 hours for the complete accommodation of its internal counterparts.
It has a one year warranty..... just sayin what I'm experiencing with the purchase.
I'll get out and shoot it as soon as I have a chance to, with at least 3 different brands of ammo.
Just for grins and giggles, do you know Taurus and S&W are owned by the same conglomerate?
They are...I know of the Bangor Punta situation of the 1970s, but I thought they were fully separated after that?
Not weird at all. The warranty is only for the original owner. Obviously, in order to do that they have to know who the original owner is.To get the lifetime warranty coverage on a new purchase, I think you are required to send in a warranty registration card within 30 days of the purchase. If you don’t, then only the 1 year warranty will apply. Weird.
If you're talking about who I think you're talking about, they're far from getting a, "free ride from bashing".I always wondered why One Certain Manufacture (will not name) can also have problems, be sent back for repair etc and yet always gets a free ride from bashing. Not only that but be touted by fans as the best. I was just reading about some of these issues with that manufacturer on this very forum. And of course no one better say a thing about them.
Yea, but if I post on this or other forum that I just purchased a Sig, the thread isn't going to disintegrate into what all Taurus threads disintegrate into... The stories being told (with the exception of Plumberroy's story), the links being shared by hookeye, and the video that was posted are all stuff that happened years ago from models that have been discontinued or have been upgraded to solve the older issues.Not weird at all. The warranty is only for the original owner. Obviously, in order to do that they have to know who the original owner is.

How long ago was this? Both models you mentioned seem to be discontinued, or am I mistaken? Like just about all Taurus complaints, yours seems to be based on a discontinued model from years ago back when they were having issues.I own 2- a 462 and a 94
Both are broken
One sent back to factory under lifetime warranty. Cost me $66. It came back unfixed.
Other one will stay broken.
I’ve learned my lesson!
My lifetime warranty is life is too short to worry with Taurus!

It sounds like the same CS and firearms they (Taurus) is noted for is still in effect.
I have an old 66 revolver that is on par with any other companies. I also have a titanium with a cracked cylinder still unrepaired. Life is too short to trust a Taurus when there are better offerings.
If you have had great luck and success with Taurus products and CS, I say great! But that hasn’t been my experience.
