Taurus blows up !

As the video clearly shows, there is no flame exitting the muzzle...indicating a barrel obstruction. This video has been around a while and some have speculated it was staged to "demonstrate" how inferior Taurus revolvers are. If that is true, it's a rather dangerous way to attempt to make a point.

You're right. I watched the whole vid myself. Paused right on the flash. There's nothing coming out the end. There had to have been an abstruction.

And the point would have been? I've yet to see a gun with a plugged bore not have a mechanical problem of a catastrophic mature when fired with a plugged bore.

In counterpoint to the poster who kept buying Taurus, I own 14 of them. Some are as much as 30 years old. I've not had any trouble with any of them that I didn't cause myself. One of my old Model 85s, a CH model, was fed a steady diet of +P and +P+ ammo, which it wasn't rated for. After nearly 5K, it was spitting lead. I sent it back to Taurus, with the ready admission of my sin, and, in six weeks, received the gun back. It had been re-built, and re-blued, for free! I still have it.

I own:

PT92, pre-decocking lever
PT58, pre-decocker
PT101, bought new in 1998
PT22
Model 66, SS 3"
Model 82
Model 94, SS 4"
Model 94, BS 4"
PT1911
Model 85, SS
Model 85CH, BS
Model 941, BS 4"
Model 96, BS 6"
Model 66, BS 6"

These are all well used guns, and are a small part of my collection of handguns. I also own weapons up to, and including, Korth.

glad it wasn't me

I guess I'm lucky my m94 malfunction was far more obvious that something was wrong with it. They would have been nuts to ship the gun back with no hammer pivot pin and say it was fine.

A +1 for taurus though, they did send me a brand new one back.
Although it was missing the bolt stop. Not sure how that one made it out of the factory. I sold it to the dealer I got the first m94 from.
