        I pretty much agree with txpitdog. I do kinda hate to blame an entir company for the actions of 2 former execs, though. Seems like THEY should have been charged instead of the company. But what the heck do I know? Lol.

            My taxi driver in NY was a Yemen. I should have asked him what gun he carries.

              Wasn't a Taurus fan before due to past disappointments, this just helps solidify it

                    Corrupt executives in Brazil? Never would have guessed that to even be a possibility.

                        And this.

                        The judge is plagued with problems. You don't have to look very hard to find someone that's had issues with them.

                          Taurus is metal injection molded, so the parts break. Junk. Their webpage even has rhe repair status and it takes 6 months for repairs. Other manufacturers do not have online repair we pages making the assumption the failure rate is much lower with quality equipment.

                            Military Police recalled nearly 100,000 24/7 DS pistols because of an issue with accidental firing, which bled over into a class action lawsuit on multiple models which was settled for $39 million.
