Taurus Owners

If there was an "OK" option I would take it. My 44 Mag has been reasonably reliable except for the cylinder mechanism coming loose.

It's not as nice as my S&W revolver.

I have to send mine into Taurus for repairs so I'll have some input on their customer service soon.

I have had a reliable PT92 for 11 years and love it still. I even prefer it to the Beretta 92.

Yeah can I pick "Mediocre Taurus"?

I have a PT-92 that has a D.A. trigger pull that is a miiiiiiiiiiiiilllllleeeeeeee long. I don't like 9MM (not the gun's fault but another strike) and it looks cheap.

But my wife likes it it's realatively reliable and it's accurate enough to do what she wants it to do ( be a basement BUG).

Like I said mediocre

I have three--PT-92, PT-25 and and brand new 24/7 OSS. Suffice it to say that I would highly recommend them.

I have several Taurus handguns manufactured between 1988 and 2005. The only problems I have had were:

1. The leaf on the adjustable rear sight broke (half of it broke off). I had carried it as a duty gun so I can guarantee you it got whacked at least several times over those 4-5 years. I stopped carrying it because agency policy got more restrictive.

2. The screw holding down the rear sight on my 669 worked loose and the rear sight flew off while I was blowing off magnums. Kind of my fault for not checking it. I had the same thing happen to a S&W and I had to pay for a new rear sight.

I sent the guns to Taurus in both cases, fixed, no questions, and no charge with turnaround time about two weeks. My PT1911 is my newest Taurus and have had none of the problems many report.

The trigger on Taurus revolvers is not as good as a Ruger or S&W but something I have no problem working with. The trigger on my PT 1911 is as good as any Colt out of the box and have seen no need for any trigger work.

Would I buy another? Certainly if they had something I feel I needed or wanted.

There are people whose opinions I trust that say all Taurus guns are junk. I still respect their opinion but disagree with them on Taurus.

My stainless model 441, 44 Special is every bit as fine as any Ruger I've owned over the years. 11 Rugers, good guns. the 441 is my most accurate revolver, with the exception of my Colt 22. I like Taurus.

After my Taurus Tracker 357 cracked the forcing cone, using standard 357 ammo, I won't buy another, its gonna be Ruger from now on. Also, my millenium pro has broken two disassembly pins, firing my moderate reloads, nothing hot. I'm sending them back to Taurus for repair, once that happens, the mil-pro is getting traded off for a SA-XD subcompact and the tracker is getting traded on a Ruger SP-101. I'm done with Taurus. The long term durability sucks, I've got 6000 rounds out of the mil-pro, about 5000 out of the tracker.

2 out of 3 have been trash. My PT92 is only good one. But I keep waiting for it to break.

I've had a PT92 for over a decade and, like texaspunk, prefer it to the Beretta. At least they know that the safety doesn't belong on the slide. Have plenty of guns with much better triggers but it's mostly a plinker anyway. As far as the revolvers go, I've yet to meet one that I liked. I'm sure they're out there but I haven't met them yet. The ones I have met were only a couple of years old and all of them had problems with the internals that made operation very spotty.

Good Tauri!!!

I have three.
All are problem free.

I've got a PT140 Pro and it's the best handgun of it's size i know of. Zero problems in the 1.5 years I've had it.

I have four small framed Taurus revolvers. No complaints.

One thing they all have in common is accuracy.

I plan on adding another to my collection when I get another stim' check.

I've had two, a model 66 and 85. Both were flawless. Traded both for other guns but had no trouble with either.

You need a "Hell No Never again" button.

Had 7, got rid of them all. All is good in the world.

I've only bought one (a Taurus Judge) and I took one shot with it and the barrel blew off the gun. So I had to vote 'Bad Taurus'.

HOWever, I am very much looking forward to the replacement Taurus (and I hope it comes in soon ), and I very much hope I can vote 'Good Taurus' after I get the chance to try it out for a few weeks.

Couldn't vote..."No Taurus"...

I have a 24/7 Pro 45 Has over 2000 rounds in just about a year without ant problems. It is my main carry weapon.

I have a Mdl 85 snub that I have had for years. Many rounds through it, no problems with it. I had a PT92C that worked well, but I got hungry for a CZ75B and traded it at the local fun store. My experience has been good with Taurus.

Taurus Model 66 (357 mag) I liked the gun and the looks of it, shot well, before I got 100 rounds through it, it "broke". Cylinders had a timing problem. Took it to Gander Mountain, "traded" it for a Ruger GP100. Only had the thing 4 days...

Have thought about buying another, but haven't. Own several Rossi's, never have had ONE SINGLE PROBLEM with those.

I'm another one who needs to vote so-so Taurus. My PT145 and .357 Tracker have been great but my 85UL came out of the box with timing problems. While messing around with the gun on the night that I bought it, I also broke the firing pin by dry-firing it. Didn't take much to do that either. I dry fired it a few times over a 15 minute period and "snap" there it went. It is at the factory now.

I'm keeping an open mind and waitng for Taurus to make it right. I like the design and the feel of the gun much more than I do my S&W 638 so I hope the issues are resolved with no further problems.

Had a .44 Mag.

Admittedly it was a light use gun, a few boxes through the year and taking it deer hunting a few times. Sold it due to lack of use, but had no problems.

have an older mod 85 and 85CH,lots of rounds and lots of carry time,no complaints. jwr
