Taurus opinions

[Shadowrider]

I had a PT111 Millennium, once upon a time. It never bobbled and ate anything I fed it. But I only fed it about 600 rounds. Had the crappiest trigger I've ever felt and nobody I talked to about slicking it up would touch it.

I sold it and got a Kahr CW9. The quality is in another league. If I were looking for a cheap auto and funds were an issue I'd look at S&W Sigma or what ever they are calling them these days. Can't be any worse that a Taurus and even if it does have issues S&W's customer service is top notch.

I've had two GLOCKS that were total pieces of crap, I have also had two GLOCKS (different ones, believe it or not) that had cracked frames. Therefore all GLOCKS suck and should never be counted on for anything more than doorstops.

Real men use Jennings or Hi-point. At least you can knock a person out with a Hi-point when you run out of ammo, you may get giggles if you try that with a GLOCK.


Oh yeah, Taurus! On a serious note, I've had some fine Taurus firearms. I don't have much experience with the newer ones though, which I believe is what you're looking for. I wouldn't hesitate to get one and give it a go though.

Never owned a Taurus semi auto... but was fairly impressed with a Taurus 85 Titanium snub nosed gun I owned for several years. The only reason I traded it... did not care for the ported barrel. And it went for a Colt as part of a trade deal.

Bud’s Gun Shop has a review section, which I used repeatedly for advice when I was picking my 45. For height, weight, length, & price for me it came down to Berretta, M&P, & XDM. Well they don’t make a XDM 4inch yet, Berretta’s must be really clean for reliability, and the M&P has the same size accessory rail as a Glock. I LOVE my M&P! I have not fired or owned a Taurus but my research ruled them out for reliability. I should mention I ruled-out Glock because they just don’t fit my hand comfortably. Hope all the research I did helps you.
