"
Taurus is Junk"
Called the nearby gun store yesterday, one that I haven't been to in about 3yrs since they treated my wife and I very rudely and we walked out.
"I'm looking for a Taurus Pt92 or a Beretta 92fs, do you have either in stock I could look at?"
"Taurus is junk, I don't sell it"
"Do you have the Beretta?"
"Yes I have several"
"Can I come down to look at it?"
"Sure, come on down"
So, I grab my friend and we drive down to the store at lunchtime to see what he has. We arrive and the guy at the counter asks if he can help, a different guy than I talked to on the phone(I could tell by the voice), and repeated my original inquiry I made on the phone earlier.
"Taurus is junk, I won't sell it, stay away from them"
"May I see the Beretta?"
Shows me two models, the M9 and the Pt92 inox. Both beautiful guns by the way, I'm definately in lust. I ask a few intelligent questions and then I question him about the trigger.
"This has the plastic trigger and quide rod?"
"No! the trigger isn't plastic!"
"Oh, I mean composite?"
"NO it's not!"
We dicker over price, he's way out of line (About $150 high)
"Well, I still want to look at the Taurus for comparisons sake, so If I decide to go with the Beretta I'll come back and talk to you some more"
"Taurus is junk, stay away, one wouldn't last two days on my rental board"
"I own several and have had good luck with them"
"Well, you're one of the few."
"Goodbye"
So what do you think, should I buy a gun off this guy?
