My main Glock practice gun, a Gen 3 17, was shot a couple of times a week (3-500 rounds a week) for 10 years before it broke a part that actually forced me to take it out of action (the rear left rail broke) at right around 150K. The gun was still running with it broken, and if I hadn't cleaned it after I shot it ( I clean every time I shoot), I probably wouldn't have known until something else went because of it.
Prior to that, it had broken trigger return springs at 90K and 120K. A $3 part that the user easily replaces and both of which I replaced myself. The gun would still function with it broken too, as long as you held the reset.
And after all that, Glock replaced the frame and rebuilt the rest of the gun, 9 years out of warranty, and all it cost me was the $25 I paid my local dealer to ship the gun down to them. Had it back a week later, and Im still shooting it every week.
As I said earlier, the only way to know what you have with anything, is to shoot the snot out of it and see how it goes to know. Same goes for how the maker deals with it when something does go wrong.
Ive dealt with Taurus in the past and my experience wasn't a good one. And to be fair, that was back in the late 90's, and that was also the last time I bothered with anything Taurus. So, if they have gotten better, great. Just consider me a tad skeptical that they will come close to matching Glocks performance.
And again, there's only one way to find out, so, if you're a Taurus fan, its your turn to prove it.
This is me, waiting with bated breath.
