All the complaints I've been reading, valid or invalid. Has brought me to ask the question; Is the Taurus Lifetime repair policy really worth the aggravation? Now I know that some have had good experiences and others have had the proverbial horror story. Having said that, I would like to add some more questions in addition to my initial one.
So, is it that we expect too much from Taurus as a company :guns:?
Are we not patient enough knowing that they are one of the hottest selling manufactures (even though most think their guns are crap
)?
Did some get an extremely faulty weapon or is Taurus really bad at producing firearms and should get out of the business
?
Do other manufactures really have a better ratio when producing firearms or are they hiding something ??? ?
Would it be impractical to just find a good gun smith and just forgo the LRP :'( ?
My thoughts are basically this. I feel that when you buy a firearm weather it be $200 or $3000. any company should stand behind their product, without fail. As for patience, I feel that some will wait an entire year for a custom ordered holster before waiting 2-4 months on a firearm repair. Especially one that is probably getting more guns back then it can handle. Suggestion to Taurus, hire more (and qualified) personnel. As for my gun smith question, I'll have to go with a yeah, why not. Sometimes I feel like voiding the Taurus LRP so I can change out the trigger and sear on my PT1911. Maybe do other neat things to it. Does this come at a price? yup. That of course is a choice that would be acceptable for me. I'd still use the LRP for my millennium pros and revolvers.
Anyway, I'll let you guys answer the other ones if you wish. I just figured that it would be good food for thought.
