[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 1757833, member: 1132"] Most guns will last a few magazines to a few hundred rounds. When I spend my hard earned money on a gun, I expect it to be reliable and last several thousand rounds, if not tens of thousands. All one need do is look at the equipment choices of defensive handgun competitors to see where they spend their money. Take the 2011 IDPA World Championship and the 2009 & 2010 Nationals. Out of 1,134 total competitors, there were only three Taurus handguns used (all three were PT 1911 .45's). Three. By contrast, there were 415 Glocks used. Now, ask yourself how many major law enforcement agencies issue Taurus. Any? Now how many issue Glocks? Too many to count. The reason defensive handgun competitors and cops use Glocks over Taurus is simple. They spend a lot of money and count on their guns for their lives. They actually use them in training. They need a gun that works as much as statistically possible, and they need after the sale support. In many of these requirements, Taurus can't deliver. Love the Taurus brand if you want, just don't expect it to be something it's not. :( [/QUOTE]
