thanksI have had that exact model for six years. It, along with my other Taurus revolvers, has been 100% reliable.
Everything. Everything with Taurus is hit or miss quality. Every gun you buy with the Taurus name on it could be either perfect, or junk. That company is a sock drawer.Have an opportunity to by a new 2in Taurus 85 Ultra Lite in stainless for $200. I know its a great deal, but are these reliable.

I'm sure some people have had less than perfect experiences with all of the different manufacturers CS but for some reason Taurus seems to get all the bad press.
The reason is the sheer numbers of people who have gotten short shrift from Taurus. People tend to complain about a company when they feel they've been screwed over, but they tend to keep quiet when everything goes okay. So when someone gets screwed by Ruger, they tell people; when they get screwed by Taurus, they tell people. The reason "Taurus seems to get all the bad press" is because they've legitimately earned it by screwing a lot of people.
At $200, I'd be an easy sell. Jump on it.
In truth I couldn't argue with this. That's pretty cheap for any gun. And if it wasn't up to par, you could sell it for...$200. But buying new, that gun is $280. Fo Another $40 bucks, I could get an American made Charter Arms. So if buying new, that's what I would do. But yeah, hard to complain about anything at $200. (I've spent more than that on dinner for me and a few friends.)
