In the last 8-10 years, I have purchased several new Taurus revolvers (in no particular order):
2 x 605s
1 x 85UL
1 x Gaucho
1 x 992
1 x M44
All have proven reliable and accurate enough for my needs. The M44 was the most recent and the fit/finish is surprisingly good even if the trigger is a tad heavy. I think the red insert on the front sight is a sticker instead of paint and if/when it departs, I plan to replace it with a dab of fingernail polish and keep going.
My experiences with their customer service have been positive. The first was when the captive recoil spring on my PT145 Millennium (Gen 1) freed itself and locked up the pistol. Taurus CS was responsive and repaired it quickly. I have never had any issues with the 2 x PT111 Millennium Pros I also have or the PT92 or the 2 x PT1911s.
My second experience was a DOB lookup on a 445. CS answered both the phone and question with alacrity.
I like the 992, particularly the ability to quickly change cylinders. I do not shoot it much these days but would not hesitate to buy one if it were competitively priced.
