Question

Is "Taurus" a decent gun brand? ?

Answer 1

yes...especially the revolvers. Taurus offers a lifetime warranty... seem to have pretty good service and offer good value for price.

People will tell you they are just like S&W's. It's true that Smith sold old tooling to Taurus years ago...and even owned a big stake in the company at one time. Taurus and Smith handguns are very different in lockwork.

I have a M85 titanium snub, .38 special, that I am very pleased with. I't can handle +p..but it's ported(big muzzle blast) and a bear to shoot... but then so is a J frame or small Colt thats hot loaded.

Taurus was offering a line of .22 rifles...but I hear that they are getting out of that market.
