Taurus(junk)

[jwoolsey]

Has anyone else had bad luck with Taurus semi-auto pistols? To me its not worth the $50 to send a low end gun numerous times to the factory for their "lifetime" warranty.

I currently own a PT-140 and have no issues with it. What do you have?

 

[smokingman]

I have two a pt140 and a pt111 and never had a problem with either.The pt140 has around 2500+ rounds through it,the pt 111 has 1500 or so. I did have another pt140 that had a problem with the recoil spring,when i sent it in they sent me the one I currently have new in the box(3 years ago). So I guess I would send it in.They guarantee it will be fixed and if you have to send it in again for they same reason they pick up the tab.

I have a PT1911AR (Taurus's 1911 clone with rail). Not a problem with it.

Note, however, that any manufacturer can have a "lemon" (although some may be more common than others). It's just that with Taurus you are better protected against that eventuality than with some other makes.

I had a Taurus revolver that went back to the company twice with light primer strikes. I traded it on a Glock :P

Junk

I junked a 24/7 pro in .45 about a year ago. The pistol was complete crap with a FTF every mag. They tried repeatedly to fix it, even included new mags. Better off throwing the gun at someone then trusting your life to it.

Taurus

I had one of the original Millenium 9mm's. Although I didn't care for the trigger, everything else about it worked every time.
I now have a PT111 Generation 3 and I love it. It goes bang every time and now I like the trigger.

Got a PT-92 and a PT-940 as my carry, never a problem with either one of them. Brother in law has 940 also and a 454, no problems with his either.

But just remember, EVERY manufacture has some lemons!

YouTube - 357 Magnum barrel blows off

this looks an awful lot like an obstructed barrel as there is no flash period out of the muzzle. so I'll say user dumbassedness

I was waiting for the "I loaded these myself, so they had to be good"

Folks, the OP was clearly a "drive by." First post and still only post.

I have four Rossi and two Taurus guns and all of them have been trouble free and decent quality. My CC used to be my Rossi Mod 877 stub nose 357mag and is the nicest handling gun I own. Taurus bought out Rossi and from what I see they are now of equal quality with the Rossi. Taurus did not have the best rep years ago but what I am seeing they now make a nice firearm. Is a S&W a better gun, probably but they cost 50% more. Is a Ford as good as a Lexus, not really so if you want a Lexus go out and buy one, don't buy a Ford and expect the same quality.

Five of mine are revolvers and one Rossi is their pump .22 rifle; I have not owned any of their semi-automatics so I cannot comment on those. Bottom line is you get what you pay for up to a point and then you start paying for the name like Glocks. Glocks are fine guns but so are others for less $$$ like my new Steyr M-A1.

Just my

Opinions

You know what they say about opinions, everyone has one, just like a-holes. If everyone liked the same things there would only be one model or style of everything we buy.

Even if it was an obstructed barrel the video is still funny to watch.
