I check out the local shooters board where a lot of guns are sold face to face in state. On most days, I could choose from half a dozen Glocks, a couple of Springfield 1911 editions... a Kimber or two, a Kahr and some Smith & Wessons. A Taurus used weapon doesn't come up for sale but on rare occassions.
Now you are left with a couple of reasons. Now, first, the Glocker's will say, is that Glocks are just so much more plentiful and of course there just aren't many Taurus owners and shooters.
Or... there are a representative number of Taurus owners, but we know when we've made a good investment and we're not interested in swapping them around like the Glock of the week group.
Now it may seem I'm prejudicial... I'm not. Glocks are fine guns, I guess. I've never shoot one... and I've got some hammers that are more attractive. I really hope that they are as enormously reliable as some claim them to be... anything that ugly should have at least one redeeming quality.
My ultimate point, if Taurus owners were as disappointed as some think we should be, I'd expect that we'd be trying to get our money back on as many as possible. Well I gotta' go and check the classifieds on my local board... a Taurus Millennium came up for sale three months as and was gone in 15 minutes... so I gotta' check and see if anyone is unloading their POC today.
