One big difference between the S&W and the Taurus. if Smith & Wesson would have brought out the idea before Taurus it would have been the greatest innovation in self defense wrapons in the twenty first century!

When does that happen? Just want yo be ready. Must be somewhere beyond the thousand or so rounds of a combination of 45 Colt. and 410 that I have fired through mine.If you don't mind the transfer bar breaking and down time while it gets replaced by Taurus, go for it
As is the case with everything mechanical.When does it happen? When you shoot it enough. It will happen.
That was back when those parts weren't MIM. They're MIM now.dgludwig - I've had a Ruger Security Six for over thirty years and it has had thousands through it (my original duty sidearm and went through the academy with it). It's still on its original transfer bar. Difference? Superior Ruger engineering and metallurgy.
Was going to say the same, but I'm not really sure what the situation is with that new facility. Taurus is saying they'll be manufacturing guns, but is that machining parts and assembling guns or assembling guns from parts made in Brazil?Or in the case of a a Taurus, Bainbridge Georgia!
Ive always looked at that by trying to buy things that have a good record of NOT needing the companys CS department for repairs or anything.It does appear tho that repairs will be done there tho, so hopefully what that means is the horror stories of Taurus warranty repairs will go away.
those tantalizing cheap prices keep sucking people in.
Yea, me too.Most everything else being equal, nothing wrong by being "sucked in" by "tantalizing cheap prices". I've bought plenty of good guns over the years because I couldn't pass up a good deal. I look forward to doing more of the same in the future.
Could make the same argument for Ruger's current revolver QC issues, but it seems most people give them a pass because of their customer service.Ive always looked at that by trying to buy things that have a good record of NOT needing the companys CS department for repairs or anything.
The fact you hear so many complaints about Taurus's CS department alone, I would think would be an indicator to steer clear.
But, apparently, those tantalizing cheap prices keep sucking people in.
