Taurus is in hot water in Brazil. I don't know if you guys are aware, but down here, sadly, the only option of weapons we can easily pick are made by Taurus. We have some crazy nationalistic law that forbids the importing of foreign made weapons ( Smiths, Glocks...).
Since Taurus enjoys a competition-free market (Monopoly), the quality of the weapons they are supplying the country are terrible and an enormous number of accidental discharges are being reported.
Today, the media source Globo ( Like NBC in America) did a 10-minute report on the various accidents and malfunctions regarding the products made by Taurus.
The accidents include:
Jams
Discharges without trigger press
Gun parts popping out of pistols after 40 or 50 shots
Pistols shooting in FULL AUTO
Serius stuff, huh?
There is even a video going around of a guy shaking slightly a Taurus pistol and discharging the little thing without pressing the trigger.
