I had always heard negative things about Taurus firearms.
I usually am a skeptic.

My first Taurus was brand new rimfire revolver.
941, so far, many years of trouble free service.

Second was a impulse buy a Taurus pump 72 Carbine, very impressed w its reliability and to date the most accurate .22 mag rimfire longarm Ive encountered.

Then I purchased a Used PT111G2 .
Its been accurate, reliable.

My last Taurus was a new TX-22, its been mostly reliable, it had a couple hiccups, one funky magazine the follower would hang up and a rear sight thats adjustments walked under recoil.
The mag most likely needed burnishing and superglue would have cured the walking sight adjuster.

Own a 1911, works excellent.  I owned a 92 and again excellent.  I gave the 92 toy daughter.
99% of all Lawyers give the other 1% a bad name. What I find hilarious about this is they are such an arrogant bunch, that they all think they are in the 1%.

I just bought a G3. So far, no complaints. For the price, I’m not sure you can beat a Taurus, in my admittedly limited experience. Yesterday I shot a friend’s Beretta 92 copy in stainless steel. Beautiful gun, no issues at all. I think Taurus has really stepped up their game.

  I picked up an early model Taurus M 66 revolver in 357 mag a couple of years ago for $ 250 in like new condition. It is the 6 shot cylinder and no stupid safety device like the newer 7 shot model 66’s have.
The quality of fit and finish is every bit that of a S&W revolver. It shoots great and is very accurate more so than the Ruger security six I once owed.
 Compared to the quality of other revolvers I see this one is light years better and even though I don’t shoot it as much as I should I believe I found a gem.
