My new Taurus 942 22WMR

I heart my Taurus .22, but I have never been charged by a wounded spruce hen.
I will not stake my life on a Taurus product.
Ymmv.

 

I am a retired gunsmith and gunseller. My two carry revolvers are both Taurus. I have nothing against S&W or Ruger ot Colt. If I could have found a Ruger 3" .357 I might be carrying one of those instead of one of the Tauruses. No one made a 4" fixed sight .44 Spl. for my woods carry gun but Taurus. Many years with never a hiccup on either. I did have a few issues with customer's firearms, but at least Taurus trusted me to take them apart and order parts under warranty.
I have never owned a Ruger - except a Single Six - that did not benefit accuracy wise from opening up the barrel where they squeezed it down screwing it into the frame.
I have seen 4 or 5 S&W 686s that came out of the box and locked up solid upon trying to cock them. Brand new under warranty so I didn't mess with them. All were made right.
All manufacturers will occasionally have issues. I received a beautiful pair of consecutively numbered Colt SAAs, and one of them was way out of time. As usual, Colt handled everything great. When you look at how guns are made and put together, it's mostly a Chevy vs Ford argument in my opinion.

 

I know folks who do- not a 22, but a 44

 

According to the CDC 85% of people who are shot with a handgun survive the experience

 

Proficient people don't carry Tauri

 

I know a master bear hunting guide who carries a Taurus 44. As a guide he’s taken over 40 bear- would you say he isn’t proficient?

 

I used to have one and thought it was great. My next revolver will probably be a Taurus 38 or 357

 

I thought you were ignoring me!
Deception, deception, deception.
It's a sorry effing world when you can't trust an enemy's claim of hatred. Sigh.

Well said! Maybe you should keep it in mind too...

 

No, it is your opinion or even your imagined or intended outcome of a possible future event that has never yet occurred. Maybe you want and even intend for it to become fact, but it isn’t, by your own words. As to the performance of your revolver, that too is your opinion. Mind you, I am not badmouthing your gun (though I don’t at all care for Taurus), just saying, the performance of your revolver is your opinion. Heck, we are all real happy you like your revolver; that is the way it ought to be! But most folks here might also remember how you introduced yourself to the forum by way of questioning the attitudes towards Taurus firearms; okay you are a Taurus fan, but it seems you wish to fight with everyone who isn’t a Taurus fan; to what end? Enjoy your revolvers! We are glad you love em!

 

You don’t seem to grasp the difference between fact and opinion or even intentions. Oh well, hit the ignore; I can live with that.

I owned one for about a week. Hate to bust your bubble but it's fit and accuracy wasn't up to my standards. To be honest I'm a certified S&W nut and I'm sure there's a Taurus somewhere that I could appreciate.
