Taurus revolver

[dwtt]

Thanks everyone for the info. I know not everyone likes Taurus and don't know why some peopel think they are bad guns. They seem mostly reliable from what I can tell, but I'm not a revolver fan.

please don't compare rossi to Taurus. yes rossi is made by Taurus, but Taurus revolvers have a better quality then the rossi, I also owned a rossi and sold it because if I cock the hammer sometimes it misses the chamber or skips one, never happened with a Taurus.

Well the dies and ammo are worth about $300 if factory.

Unless you're really squeezed for cash, I'd just get a Smith or a Ruger. They're just nicer guns. Some butthurt Taurus fan will take umbrage, but the only reason why someone buys a Taurus is because they either can't or won't spend the money on a Ruger or Smith.

You're so full of it.

I can and do buy any gun I want to.

I buy Taurus guns because I have owned at least 8 Taurus guns; currently own 2, and have never had any problem with them.

Oh, and I have owned many Smith's, Colt's and Dan's; when it comes to revolvers. I would put the Dan's that I've owned as probably the best.

Of course I've never owned a Python but I have shot them. And, while I do agree with those who hold the Python as the best revolver; for an everyday shooter I would not hesitate in buying and using a Taurus.

Why I would even trust my life to a Taurus as the 2 that I currently own are both carry guns.

I guess the argument here is like buying a car. Each maker has their own cult following. I just dont care for taurus firearms although im sure they make good firearms.

which sucks for taurus due to the fact they have some pretty good firearms to be had at good prices.

I have a Tracker in .44 and it seems to be a decent revolver. It has held up well to more than a few thousand light target loads plus about 500 defense loads. my only complaint was with the grips. I changed them to Hogue grooved grips which (to me) offer more positive handling.

I would think $500 would be good for a used copy.

...Taurus makes good stuff....

I thought this until I actually bought one. The Taurus was the only revolver that ever failed on me.
I got it fixed by Taurus and promptly sold it to a dealer.
I have also owned about 10 revolvers by Ruger, Colt, and even a Heritage Rough Rider. None of these have ever failed on me.
Based on my own personal real world experience, I would choose Ruger or S&W or Colt over any revolver ever made by Taurus.
This is how I spend my $. You can spend your $ anyway you want.

your best bet is too find out when this Taurus was made, the early ones had plenty of issues plastered all over the internet. If this is newer one...just get it if it makes you happy....the price is right with all you are getting and I believe Taurus's Lifetime warranty is transferable, because it was a selling point at one time. I like to believe Taurus has come a long way and are a High Value firearm. Would I buy a used Taurus firearm..maybe..depending on when it was made and why the original owner is selling and the price. Would I buy a new Taurus...I'll consider their High Value 1911, but it won't be near the top of the list of the list to consider.

If this is your first revolver...it would be a cheap way to get a taste and it won't be difficult to sell off if you don't like it. Taurus Revolvers are pretty good looking guns IMO. Buy the best you can afford.

I did the same to mine. The pistol felt fine when I first looked at it then when I brought it home but first time at the range it just felt odd. Bought the Hogue grips and love the feel of it now.

That Ribbed grip that comes on them feels too squishy, I changed to the Hogue grip as soon as I got it home from DROS
