Nah. I like Taurus. I seem to be a sucker for problems with my toys. I like my brands through thick and thin. I had an old Mercedes that I just could not part with even though I hated it. I still want another one. I will also buy a Taurus again. :banghead: Oh and welcome to the forum. I am a newbie myself.

That's quite a collection you have there. I see that you're a Taurus fan as well. ;-)
Thank you. Yes, I think Taurus is up there for best bang for the buck. A lot of gun snobs as I call them shun Taurus guns, but they are no where near the bottom in my opinion. I believe it's mostly people with a larger budget than myself that have little to no experience with Taurus that feel that way, or they've a bad experience with early on models from the company. One of my bosses where I work bought a Kimber 1911 for home defense and has never shot it, but has "heard" bad things about Taurus! (rolling my eyes) My father-in-law carrys a Smith&Wesson 1911 that our PT-1911's can match at the range, and the Milllenium Pro series is one of best carry choices around. Most especially for the calibers that are easier to find than .380. I have shot the 24/7 series, and they feel and shoot excellent. The PT709 and TCP interest me as well. I wish .380 ammo would hurry up and re-surface more often. My first handgun was a S&W Sigma in .40. I hated that gun. The trigger pull was aweful. It served it's purpose for home defense but was not a great range gun, in my opinion. That's just it. S&W makes great revolvers and I've heard the M&P series is really solid, so why would I knock them over a lower grade weapon they make? Anyways, what Taurus gun/guns do you own? I carry a Taurus PT-111 Millennium Pro, and have the blued PT-1911. My wife got the PT-1911 duo-tone for Christmas. She also has a Charter Arms Pink Lady in .38. The other guns in the photos I posted are my Ruger 10/22, WASR 10-63, Mossberg Maverick 12 GA, Marlin 336W 30-30 with a Cabela's scope designed for Lever-Evolution ammo, and my Mossberg 16 GA bolt-action shotgun handed down to me from my grandad. Everyone on here is welcome to take shelter at the alamo,aka my house, when the zombies arrive. lol
I have two Taurus handguns. a PT111 9mm and a TCP .380. The PT111 I bought slightly used and is a great shooter. I carry that one daily. The TCP I am not impressed with. It was jam after jam. It will not eject a live round properly. I will be sending it back to Taurus soon. Hopefully they can fix it cause it would be a great BUG. I just dont trust it to save my life right now.
