As far as the Taurus triggers go, I work with both S&W and Taurus revolvers all day everyday and have checked alot of the triggers on both and the Taurus by far has the better trigger. I like both and own both brands but its really time to stop bashing Taurus.
I know they were bad in the early years, and I know that bad ones still get out but just name a brand that doesnt have bad ones get out.
Myself, I have had 1 bad Ruger, 3 bad S&W's, 1 bad Dan Wesson and numerous bad semis. But no bad Colts or Taurus.
Dont think I am a biased either way, I like them all but I will try out one of the Taurus 500's, after all I have sent numerous S&W 500's back for problems but not one Raging Bull.
