Oh god, I nearly pissed myself when I read this. I was cruising the firing line forums when I came across this post from apparently one of our own. He goes on to answer a post on what folks thought about Taurus mil-pro 9mm guns. For those who may never get to see this, read on. I hope JKwas doesn't mind, it is priceless.

"Mine wouldn't feed fire or operate. I could barely get the bullets in the mag withouth the follower coming out and hitting me in the eye. Then, when it did fire, the front site flew off, and the slide blew back off the gun, nearly taking my head off! I gathered up all the parts, and sent them back to taurus. After about 200 phone calls, I finally got someone to tell me it would take about 2-3 years to get my gun back, and they couldn't guarantee it wouldn't happen again. They said it was definately my fault.

Now that I've dispensed with the sarcasm, and summed up every nightmare taurus story you will hear, I can say mine has been perfect for over 2 years and 1000 rnds. I would buy plenty more

Dude, you ROCK!

JK, no,
Thank you! for being able to address ignorance with well placed humor and sarcasm ;D. That was far better than my gun is better than your gun, or your gun sucks because I don't own one argument.

Funny story. When I took my hunter's training course, one of the questions asked of us was "name a reputable gun manufacture". Well, all these names flew out of the mouths of the experienced rifle shooters, Remmington, Browning, Berreta etc. Then one of the instructors told us of a recall Remmington had once due to it's safety switch. It would seem that when the safety was engaged the weapon would fire. Moral of the story, any company from the highest of highs to the upstarts can make weapons that will fail in one way, shape, or form.
