Will never buy another Taurus revolver

[Floppy_D]

I pased up a chance on a 7 shot 6" Taurus Tracker in 357... and kicked myself for it. A good friend of mine picked it up, and has had outstanding luck with it. I am certain that there are great Taurus firearms out there. Sorry you got a lemon. What do you want for it?

For those who have to flog dead smelly dead mule carcasses, here you go.

These are about the PT1911 from here.

That as they say, is that.

Meh. Any revolver can be shot loose, fall out of time, break, etc.

Taurus used to have a deserved reputation for producing junk when that revolver was made. These days, they seem to have a much better end product.

Do what you want. It's your money.

I'd buy a Taurus for plinking. But, for personal protection, I'd shuck out a few more bucks to buy a Smith, Dan Wesson, or Ruger revolver and eschew Taurus.

I have a Taurus Model 85, model 66 and model 605. There was a small problem with a broken part on the 66 and they sent me the part which I replaced. They all have been perfect before and since.

Intentional mis-posting

Now that I have the attention of the many Taurus owners on the thread, I have one question: Where can I buy a 2-inch .45 ACP Taurus revolver, and can any other ammo, like 45-Colt or 454 Cas. be made to chamber in it? I'm looking for a very loud belly-gun. Thanks (You may delete this comment at your pleasure.)

I don't think it shakes a 1/4 inch.I think your pushing the truth just a little.I also have more play in my new taurus than I do my 22 year old GP100.I too will not buy another taurus.Mine shoots ok for a snub nose but the quality is not there.I used my angle grinder and ground the hammer off it when it was a month old for 2 reasons.It was sticking me in the gut and because the gun isn't that great to start with.I do have to say I looked at the aluminum fram S & W and they were just as bad.I will buy an all steal snub next time and live with the extra weight.I'm looking at the new ruger 327.

I got ripped off because I paid $320 for a beat up Taurus that is 20 years old from a bad gun shop 3 years ago.

You bought a used, beat up gun that is out of whack, and thats Taurus's fault?

Brother....

Kind of like being a klutz, then spilling the large cup of fast food steaming coffee on yourself thus suing the company for damages. It was too hot.:banghead:

S&W will frequently fix older revolvers, free of charge. They fixed one for me, although I clearly stated that I had bought it used, and was aware of the problem when I bought it...

Yes that can happen but it's up to S&W and what the problem is. Taurus will fix the gun. There is a difference.
