How many Taurus Revolvers do you own?

[armabill]

Zero.

 

[mohavesam]

Have had a few. Not a dog in the bunch.
Have a 6" Raging Bull, all-SS 5-shot and triple-lock design - the tightest & most-accurate 480R revolver I've fired. No turn line after hundreds of rounds! Great revolver and I'd buy another.

Zero. I'd rather put the money towards a Good Ruger.

All my wheel guns are Smith and Wesson, or Ruger. You don't save enough money to make a Taurus worth it.

 

[SteveRuger]

Zero Here Also! All Ruger with 3 old Smiths.

Never owned one or wanted to own one.

Only have one, and of course it is a 32mag, 2" titanium. (Model 731 TI) I have had no problems with it.

 

[tinman]

Only one.....Judge Public Defender SS.
A great rabbit/field mouse/snake gun on the tractor/mower/ATV or while just working in the brush.
Never had a single hiccup with either ammo.....

 

[57springer]

None , Rugers and Smith/Wesson .

Just one, a SS 85 that I've had zero problems with. Has proven 100% reliable after about 5 years of having it. Maybe 300 rounds through it,.357, .38, and shotshell. Family member has an 8 inch .454 raging bull that is a wonder to shoot. On top of that, I've handled and shot maybe 5 different autos, and not a problem one with any of them. Guess I've just been lucky. I figure any manufacturer is prone to have a few lemons here and there. But so far so good in my neighborhood as far as Taurus goes.

Generally speaking I am not a gun snob and it appears you aren't either. As I said in an earlier post the older Taurus' I have had were fine. The newer ones not so much. Just my experience.

I've never owned a Taurus revolver. Every time I've picked one up to consider I compare it to a S&W and kind of recoil from the idea. My apologies to the OP. Not trying to be offensive, but you asked.

This subject matter reminds me of years ago when a S&W forum member asked if anyone had ever owned a Security Six. At that time there were similar comments regarding Rugers and their merits as compared to Smiths were discussed, very negatively I might add. At the time I thought the Smith owners were a bunch of gun snobs....... Well, looks like what goes around comes around.......

IRL, I've had to send more Ruger products back for service due to manufacturing/operational failures than Taurus. To be fair, I own more Rugers than any other handgun, but there are causal factors involved...

I have a few Taurus guns and their revolvers have been just fine, but then I handle most every handgun before I pay for them, to the chagrin of interweb sellers. My latest is a Taurus 992, a 22/22WMRF convertible 6" DA/SA blued revolver. Heavy (and much more accurate) in this world of plastic firearms, but it will outlive me from real-life experience with it! Plus it has much better sights than the similar Ruger. Wait, oh yeah, Ruger doesn't make a similar handgun!

I own "several" brand T revolvers, to answer the OP.

 

[RUFFBIRD]

I have one, a model 76 revolver!
It shoots a 32 S&W Long cartridge, with a 6" barrel & adjustable sights. It is slick as all getout with a nice blue job & is a fun revolver to shoot. I think I will have it for awhile yet.... 8)

NONE: this is a Ruger forum.

:roll: :roll: :roll: So Rick, is that all you own is Rugers? If so you are missing out on lots of other great firearms...... Just sayin' :wink:. Take care.

This thread has its good and bad, but not nasty... I wonder which brand provides more repair business to gunsmiths more (than another)? I'm betting on brand R.
