The only thing I can think of would be a better box for the product to come in,something like the nice case you get with Rugers....

Savage,
I do have a blackhawk in .41 nice gun but the damn ejector housing attachment screw has sheared off twice causing the ejector rod and spring to go flying :? I hear that is a pretty common problem with the blackhawk...funny,nothing has ever broken off any of my Taurus revolvers :lol:
That red ruger box sure is purdy though :)

You mean you'd rather have PLASTIC than real cardboard? Not me. I'm not big on plastic. Now a nice wood case might be nice but really what difference does it make? Mine never see the box again after they get home. I take them out and put the boxes in the attic for storage.

What would I like to see changed about Taurus? The ownership. I'd like to be the owner.  :eek:

Graybeard,
Yeah, I lose the box as soon as I get home too :)  , I just think the ruger case gives the illusion of getting a more expensive product :-)
If you were the owner maybe we could all get a special Graybeard discount :wink:

I could go for one of those myself. What I'd really like to see them make tho is the same 6.5" barrel in .44 Special. I've tried to convince them but they say they don't sell many in the caliber and it isn't likely. I do need to get me one in .45 Colt before they quit making it I guess.

Taurus 45 acp
« Reply #7 on: November 12, 2003, 12:46:45 PM »
I would like to see a smi auto short ported barrel in a 45 acp. I believe the 44sp is gaing popularity as a ccw just for the gigger bore. This would be a nice nitch for the 45 acp.

i would change the iron sights from the plain black ones the r.b. comes with.    the trackers have the orange front blade and white outline rear, right?  that is the only fault i can find on my bull.  otherwise i think it is an extraordinary piece of engineering.   such a fine revolver deserves equally fine sights.

My Taurus revolvers wouldn't shoot long enough without binding the
cylinders to have anything break. I am talking 3 out of 4 revolvers that
I used to have and don't have anymore.

I'd like to have a REAL selection of WOOD grips offered for the large-frame Taurus revolvers...especially the 450.

You had problems with 75% of the taurus revolvers you owned :shock:
I have shot somwhere along the lines of 30 different taurus revolvers, about 12 of which I own or owned and never had any problems at all..

I did have a friend who loaded some super hot .357 rounds (so hot in fact that I refused to shoot them) shot 2 and cracked the cylinder. He sent the gun back to taurus and they replaced the cylinder for free, no questions :wink:

Did you send the guns back to taurus for repair or just got rid of them?

I don't rightly recall the number of Taurus handguns I've owned and/or shot. A bunch.

Older ones did tend to have problems for sure. I had a couple of them with 4" barrels and chambered for .22LR and .22 Mag. Don't recall the exact model numbers but 94 seems to want to come to mind??? These guns were a disappointment to me but were really of the early Taurus production.

A while back I order a Model 44 with 12" barrel you've all seen photos of on here. I had to return it to Taurus as it was key holing bullets even at 25 yards. The inside of the barrel was truly the worse I've ever seen. Looked like an old black powder gun not well cared for. BUT they paid full cost to return it to them and promptly shipped me a new replacement at no cost to me. Even gave me the toll free phone number there to discuss things with them. Don't know what more could be asked of them. A bad one is gonna get out from time to time most everywhere.

these guns were about a year and a half old. Model 971 22 mag.
Model 608 357 mag. and the raging hornet which I also had to knock the
empty cases out of the cylinder. When I would clean them they would
shoot for about another 50 rds before they would act up again.
Don't know if it was the gap at the forcing cone or dirt under the star.
BTW none were very accurate except for the raging 44 mag that I had and
didn't have any problems with. I didn't send them back I just sold them all.
Should of kept the 44, Best 44 I ever had.
