Having a warranty has not stopped people having issues getting the work done, or done right.

I was just pointing that out that i found on the website. Have you had a personal expierence with this?
 
Yes,

I watched a shooting buddy about go crazy trying to get a pistol fixed. After multiple trips to Taurus and numerous phone calls with no idea what was wrong, or where the pistol was, or just rude customer service phone calls he finally dumped it.

Might I suggest you go back and read what was posted.

And one last comment. If you read my post I feel that the problem is more with Customer Service, not the product. YOU decide how important that is to you. If you got a good one, congratulations, if not, well good luck.
 
life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what your going to get

Lets see,
1.. Broke gun, lifetime repair. bad customer service.:scrutiny:

2.. Broke gun. No lifetime repair, great customer service. :uhoh::eek:

what to do :rolleyes:


Point is every manufacture will have a bad product every now and then.


Whether its a gun, car, baby toy, or food. Someone somewhere will put out a faulty product now and then.

i think it may be better to have crapy customer service and get my item fixed, then great service and still have a broken item .

but that's just my opinion. ;)
 
my wife and i have one (each) we both like them very much. the only thing i do not like is there is not much adjustability to the sights. both of our guns shot to the right, and low. we corrected the shooting to the right, but there is no adjustment for height. as for their customer service, my wifes gun came with only one key, so i called to order a second. they did not have one in stock. they took my information, and 2 weeks later, one showed up @ n/c. since we have had no other issues, that is all i can tell you about it. so for me, so far, so good.
 
I've got a Taurus Mil-Pro 40 that has been outstanding, about 3600 rounds out of it so far, no failures.:D My dad has a Taurus 24/7 and a Tracker 41 mag, again, great guns. Based on my experience so far, I'll continue to buy them, I think they are an excellent bang for the buck.:)

Right now, I'm trying to scrounge up $350 so I can buy my dad's 24/7 with (4) 15 round magazines. At the last gun show, he was going to trade it off for a Walther P-99, I said "Dont, I'll buy it"! Nothing wrong with his Taurus, he just decided he wanted the Walther.
 
I only have expirience with newer production Tauri..I own 2 and have shot a slew more..never had or heard of any problems from anyone I know. Im sure problems are out there but like someone posted earlier. if they were THAT BAD, they'd be out of buisnes by now...but its the opposite. they are thriving and have been around over 20 years...If they make something else I want, I'll buy their product again.
 
I cannot speak to the other guns in the Taurus product line but I have had the opportunity to see one example of a Taurus 1911 with a rail. The frame was cut unevenly for the beavertail grip safety, there was a shim holding the firing pin stop in place, and the small parts seemed to have been poorly fit together. The gun was like that from factory.

The gun was owned by a friend. It did work for the 300 rounds he shot through it before trading it. However, after seeing it I came away with the impression that Taurus' version of the 1911 was not something that a dedicated 1911 shooter would be very happy with owning. As someone who does not follow the Taurus line, this one example left me with a poor impression of the brand. I concede that it may be unfair to have a negative view of the brand based on one bad example, but there's something wrong with their QC to let that a pistol with multiple manufacturing defects out of the factory.

i guess if my PT1911 looked like your friends did i may have had the same thoughts,
sounds like quality control was out sick that day,
i even had an older 92 9mm that my dad talked me out of, he bought a Glock when he went back part time as a LEO and could not get the hang of the Glock. he took my 9 mm and qualified with it. he sold the Glock and now carries my old 92 that must have had a few thousands rounds out it.
 
I can't tell you a thing about their customer service. I have three, a Gaucho in .45 Colt, PT92, and a PT1911. My grandson has a PT1911. My son -in-law had a PT92 that was stolen and replaced it with another PT92. None of them have given a problem. All are well fitted and finished. I would buy another.

I look at guns before I buy them. If I found one to have a problem in the fit or finish I wouldn't buy it. Just that simple.
 
I own Two Taurus, a MILLENNIUM PRO 9mm (111BP-12) and the Model 627SS4 357. Love both of them. I use the 9mm for home protection and the 357 for fun at the range. Anyway, I would buy again.:)

It never ceases to amaze me that people will drop good money on a gun without checking it out before filling out the paperwork.

I've had good luck with even Century made guns because with them I've rejected typically three to six before finding the one I was willing to buy.

I've had nothing but good luck with my Taurus guns, but have to say only my PT-92 and PT-100 are favorites, although my new .45ACP OSS is moving up the more I shoot it. Side by side with my XD45, I'm starting to lean towards the OSS, the slightly smaller grip (12 rounds vs. 13 for the XD) makes it fit just enough better to make a difference.

I have a Taurus m66, and so does one of my friends, both in .357.
They are both excellent guns, but being made 10 years apart, they are completely different, trigger, hammer, rear sights, grips, even markings.

I don't know much about this, but maybe some of the problems were with one generation of the guns or another?
just a thought
 
You can't believe all that you see and hear..............

I too have read all of the complaints against Taurus on many messageboards. There are just as many PRO-Taurus comments. Customer service seems to be a very genuine problem for the Taurus guns with problems. But most Taurus guns never go back. Like many other gun manufacturers, Taurus seems to sell the beta-test versions to the public for field testing---they are not alone in this! For example, the Millenium pistol had some problems, and the Millenium Pro had them fixed.

All that I personally know, is that I had a PT-92, and it was not only beautiful and perfectly formed, but it shot any ammo that I could find accurately! It is the one gun that I most regret having to sell. I would buy another Taurus, and probably will......................elsullo
 
If you get a good Taurus, it will work well and you'll be happy with it. If you get a bad one, it will probably never work and you'll ne miserable until you get rid of it. Taurus puts out a lot of good pistols. But they're getting a reputation for letting way too many bad ones get into circulation. And they don't have the service department to handle the volume of junkers, apparently.

I wouldn't buy a Taurus that I couldn't handle extensively.
 
I have a PT111 Milpro, and its getting sent back to the factory soon. I've had nothing but fail-to-extracts with that pistol, no matter how I clean it, what type of ammo i give it (it liked hydrashok, but I don't like $1 per squeeze at the range), or anything. 2-3rds per 10rd magazine will jam up. Good thing it has that warranty. Otherwise I'd lump it in with the Highpoints and Lorcins and get rid of it.
 
Taurus

My sister saw the black 38 special at a gun show with the gold trim and rose wood grips. I said if i cant talk you out of buying it it. let me look it over real good It seem well made and that little 38 special shot like a target pistol wirh my hand load I was amazed.

I guess I'll pick up the bat and whack this dead horse...AGAIN...but I have a couple of 66s made about 10 years apart. The older one is a hammer block action, the newer a transfer bar action. That's how different they are. The newer one has a S&W quality smooth trigger, the older one is a little notchy and has a tiny bit of creep in single action. Both are very reliable, tight, perfectly timed, always go bang, and are very accurate.

I also have a M85SSUL that gets lots of carry.
 
Never had any issues with their revolvers, not much experience with their semi-autos. However, I did just buy a PT1911 for the sole purpose of shooting the snot out of it just to see how it holds up. I will report back with my findings.
 
I just shot some light loads in my PT1911.
Picked up some old PB (DuPont) powder and thought I would try some while I was set up loading 45acp.
I used the min starting load, gun worked fine with 185jhp no FTF/FTF the rounds felt very light in the recoil dept. if I use this powder ill bump it up a bit.

POINT BEING THE GUN WORKES WITH LIGHT LOADS ALSO.:D
 
If you're looking at bang for the buck, it's hard not to look at a taurus - I currently have a 24/7 C that has not failed me once, is nice to shoot and accurate for a compact. I'd buy another. You can start any thread about any manufacturer and find people who don't like them, and I'm by no means a brand loyalist, so it doesn't hurt my feelings if you dislike Taurus - but they have a nice selection of models and hard-to-argue with-prices.
 
I have several Taurus pistols and revolvers and they are all good for the money I spent on them. The 85 and Judge are probably my favorites. I have a couple of PT22's and they burp once in a while, but I found they are somewhat ammo sensative and need to be kept clean. Otherwise, no problems. They all finction much better than the one and only Kimber I had. Worst customer service I ever saw.
