It's your life so it's your gamble, just remember to ask every cop or undeployed soldier if s/he woud prefer a Taurus to whatever they did have.
Please expand your thoughts. What does it have do do with? Budget? If so than they would all force their officers to carry Taurus, none do, NOT ONE! Politics? Sure, I can see that, force US Police to carry a US made weapon, oops, Glock has way too many police departments covered for this to be true. Reliability? Well, Glock have this cornered too, even this thread has plenty of Taurus owners who admit to a failure of some sort.I'd remind everyone that what the police or military carry has little to do with self-defense.
I wasn't bashing Taurus as a target/training gun (best used to train for some type of failure drill )What's right with Taurus is that they offer good products at a reasonable price.
Note the bold, italics and underlined word that says, " Self Defense." I wasn't bashing Taurus as target weapon. I'm still not but as a SD weapon you are gambling where you don't need to. It's your life bud, your choice.there are two types of handgunners, those that don't have any problem with Taurus and those that do have a problem with Taurus as a SD weapon.
I hear from online forums that their CS is very good but also have friends that have just the opposite experience.
I like your taste in guns!!Well said. I own Kimber (ever read any Kimber bashing?) Ruger, Springfield and Walther. My long guns are Marlin, Marlin, Marlin, Remington and Winchester.
I had one Taurus 9mm for over 15 years and I'm still kicking my own butt for selling it. I recently picked up an abused Taurus .38 service revolver, I checked it out, cleaned up and it is working fine for me.

First of all check the gun very carefully BEFORE buying which a lot of people do not do. The reason for a lot of the cylinder binding or problems having to do with the innards needing cleaning prior to range use.
The anecdotal stories like these that there "has to be something wrong because I say there is" without factual support is basically being false and self serving. Also arrogant and conceited. Since the mental state of the Taurus owners is called into question, and there are mililons of us out there world wide, we will not take that lying down. It follows, if Taurus were garbage, then the people who actually use them for protection are idiots and fools. What competent person would use one? There are millions of us Taurus owners for whom that is a direct insult and a falsehood.
What's right with a Taurus?
Disgraceful... There's no purpose in having a gun around if it is not loaded...I know what you are saying, but OTH, a majority of gun owners (not just Taurus owners) just buy a gun then stick it in a sock drawer unloaded with the ammo in the top shelf in the closet, without firing it once, and figure they are GTG.
