My current wife came with one. I would never purchase one.
What Smith semi auto did you have that was unreliable? Sounds iffy. I know lemons exist for all makes, but S&W guns are amongst the most reliable I’ve encountered. Out of three I own, zero failures. I’ve fired another 5 or so. No failures.Yea but to be fair, the inet, gun forums, YouTube, and social media didn't exist back then. If not for the internet and based on my own experience in my bubble, I wouldn't be aware of a lot of issues and things that are going on with firearm manufacturers and in the firearm industry. If I were to go solely off my personal experience and the experience of people I know and came across in real life, I'd think that S&W and Ruger semiautos would be extremely unreliable crap as those are the only handguns that failed on me mancanicaly before forever even running 100 rounds through NIB guns.
I've seen and heard of a few stories and issues that have been brought up and talked about over on the Smith-WessonForum.com. S&W had problems with their prelock guns too so I have heard from multiple sources. Things weren't all peaches and cream back then.
I don't know much about older Colt revolvers. I will take your word on that.

@Y-T71 makes a fair point. Out of modern day S&Ws, Rugers, Colts, and Tauruses, I hear the most complaints about Taurus CS. They it is hit or miss whether they'll pay shipping to and from, and turnaround times are slow. After Taurus, S&W gets mixed reviews about them claiming a clear defect or issue is normal, and or the guns they allegedly fixed are being shipped back with the same exact problem. I don't hear much bad if at all when it comes to modern day Colts and Rugers with regards to CS and warranty service, but there aren't as many Colts in the wild compared to the others.

This was almost 2 decades ago, no? This is the issue. Taurus had problems in the past, and that is no secret. Some are bringing up their issues and grudges from a decade or more ago, and are bashing Taurus and what they are currently offering in the present without full disclosure.Nope for me! I've had 2 of them both were junk. I had to put time and effort just to get the 94 to work moderately ok. The Tracker 22LR was a total loss and was fortunate to get a good trade with an unsuspecting pawn shop guy.
Even if they make a few "good" guns, their horrible customer service is more than enough for me to stay away. Taurus? Just say NO!

The two Taurus handguns and the CS issue you had with them was back in the early 2000s. They are not the same company with the same issues the same management or the sane exact lineup or design of guns.
Why not. It's basically a Beretta eh.This Taurus is as well made as any gun I own including Smith, Kimber and Ruger. I can find no fault with it. It may be the last one I would ever sell. It has features less available elsewhere. If its possible to love an inanimate object count me in. View attachment 1085921

What are the members impressions of newer Taurus models like these in recent years?
