Suprised that this section showed up when i logged in and is invisible as a guest.
No complaints really about Taurus in general. I've used Taurus and Rossi products in the past with good results.
Had a 65 and a 85--no complaints except from hard core s&w fanatics.
Will say that as an leo for quite a while, i have seen more taurus snubies used as off-duty/back-ups than anything else including smiths and kel-tec's. Knew one officer that for over 10 yrs packed an old taurus 92 with wood grips and swore he would never pack anything else.
Not many folks pack a taurus duty weapon in this area. Most officer furnished weapons are glocks or 1911's around here. The 24/7 seems interesting and part of the reason i am here is to read up more on it especially in 45. Main curriosity about it right now is the ribber style grip. I've literally have worn out pachmyers on revolvers before so i am kind of wondering about wear on these built-in non-replaceable grip frames.
The 1911 taurus has also got my attention.
I've read of the complaints about customer service and my only thought there is taurus is probably out-growing its ability to handle the increased repairs in poportion to the increased sales. Stands to reason that if you sell more units then you eventually will get in more repairs---just percentages working as in if sales increase 20% in the past two years the repairs should naturally increase 20% just from shear volume of sales. If they are still running the same sevice from 5 years back then they will get swamped.
I've seen my share of problem smiths, colts, dan wessons, ----even dare i say it--Rugers----(my absolute favorite guns) Massed produced products in today's world tend to sometimes slip through the cracks. Given time and oppturnity, a good company will make things right. From what i've read, taurus has been making things right..........
This may be in the wrong section. if so---my appologies.
