A LOT of taurus bashing on this fourm so I was wondering which ones they make actually work reliabily?
i cannot imagine they stay in business if all of them are a piece of junk.
please reply with positive stories/comments.

I own a 24/7 G2 9mm Compact just one and a half a month ago. my first imported FA (it's a foreign brand here) first polymer frame, first 9mm, first compact. lol a lot of first's, so I have no way of comparing it to other brands and models. but I'm very satisfied with this FA, shot 100 rounds two weeks after I received it. it shoots 8 o'clock but get used to it right away, can shoot well with it from 15 meters. I think the later models of Taurus are fine FAs out of the box.

I was considering a Taurus Judge, but I noticed a significant number of them up for sale, new and many of them used... with that many out there it makes you wonder about quality when there is so much quantity. My past experiences have led me to believe that if a certain gun is really desirable then you won't find a lot of them... mostly new if any and really lucky if you find one used. But that is not so with the Judge... I don't see ANY Heritage Manufacturing 45lc/410 out there, and just a few two or three of the Magnum brand 45lc/410 and S&W... so WHY so many Taurus'. Me I'm a Ruger guy but have been wanting one of the 45lc/410 models... but think I'll wait for a Magnum or Heritage brand to come along.

The Judge, and other guns of that type, are disappointing to the people who buy them because they do nothing well.
With the .45 "Long" Colt cartridge, they are inaccurate. With shotshells, they disperse their pattern so widely that hits can't be made past just a few feet.

If you want a self-defense revolver, buy a self-defense revolver. If you want a shotgun, buy a shotgun.

I have owned and sold numerous ones over the years, I love my PT92 and would feel comfortable using it to defend my life, I have owned serveral of the revolvers, model 85, 82 both in 38special. The little PT22 was a nice litte pocket pistol, and the 705 9mm a adequate CCW, probably the only pistol that really pissed me off and I sold but felt like throwing it in a lake. I so wanted in to be a nice camp gun but the trigger pull was off the scale. But I always try the newest ones if the have them for rental at my local range.

My experience with 3 Taurus guns that I have has been the best possible. I have the PT1911, the PT92 and the PT111 G2. The oldest one is the PT1911, that I have for over 5 years now, several thousand rounds through it. The other 2 I have had for around 1 year, around 1000 rounds in each. I have not experienced any malfunctions with them. They are also very accurate, even the PT111, which is a compact gun. They all handle recoil very well, really nice shooters.
