Taurus

[GMann1]

What us you opinion on Taurus semi-autos? I had a Taurus slim that shot very well, however someone broke in my truck and stole it.Thinking about getting a C2 or C3.

It already says Taurus on the box. What else could we possibly say?

I have a G2c and G3 and consider them truck guns. No great loss if stolen. To be honest though they have never failed me, I consider them to be essentially a less expensive Glock.If there is a gun company that has improved it's offering it is Taurus. It is still fighting to clear its reputation. Everyone remembers the old Taurus.

If my life depends on it, I'd get a Glock, Shield or other trusted brand. I know several people who own and trust Taurus and others with different experiences. They seem to be trying to improve their products.
However, if you going to leave it in your truck...

... someone might leave you another one

After my wife trained at the range with an instructor and became proficient with a Glock 44 (22 cal), I bought her a Taurus TX 22 with manual safety. The safety was my idea. Got her boxes of range ammo and a box of hollow points for carrying. She loves it and works for her, good enough review on this end.

We’ve had a few of the new GX4 pistols come through the shop lately.

Feedback we’ve been getting from the customers who bought them are very positive.

Local LTC instructors came by Thursday to visit and also mentioned the GX4 pistols they’re seeing in classes are preforming well.

I had a Taurus PT 92 that was a great shooter. 15 round mags, nice wood grips and a pretty decent finish.
I'd buy another one.

I have a GX4. Shoots well for me. Only reason I'm planning to sell it is because my pre-arthritic hand can't handle the recoil of that tiny a gun in 9mm. I did ask Taurus if they planned on making a .380 version....no plans at this time .

Also owned a PT908 and currently own a TX22. Both great guns.

Concur, and I trust the three Taurus pistols I own as much as I would a Glock; or even better, my Springfields!

In fact, my Taurus semi-autos have better triggers than a Glock!

However, I still consider them to be "disposable" in a sense I would be less impacted on the loss of one than one of my more expensive pistols!

By the way, Taurus' customer service is excellent as well!

Also have a G2C and a G3, both have been great right out of the box.

OTOH, I bought a TX22 and it had a bad barrel, an issue with early production from what I read on the forums.

Called CS, they emailed me a return label, dropped it off on a Thursday, they shipped it back the following Friday, got it on Monday. That's pretty damn fast. It's been perfect since.

Wife: GX4

Me: G3c

Both excellent.

Did Taurus make garbage in the past: ABSOLUTELY!

Newest management insisted on 'quality control' and bingo...it happened.

They now make 'very good' budget priced pistols that're reliable....

I've had this one for 12 years and shot hundreds of rounds through it with no problems whatsoever. It is very accurate and easy to carry.

I'd sworn Taurus off after a host of problems with the PT111's - but a good friend of mine bought a G2C a year or so after they came out. For a $190 gun (he paid 189.99 out the door - no sales tax in Oregon) it was very well made and reliable on every outing we shot together. His other times shooting it solo, or in other groups his gun hasn't choked. Until he became a cop, it was his concealed carry piece. That gun made me re-evaluate my absolutely no Taurus policy. Lots of others have had good experiences with them, bolstering the notion that they've markedly improved on quality. I still have not bought a Taurus, but at this point if I got a good enough deal on one and needed a gun that it filled a niche of - a G2C or G3C wouldn't make a bad carry gun. No experience with the G4's so I reserve judgement there. A change in management and focus on delivering a quality product has been good for Taurus. I'll also say the polymer blend on the G2 and G3 guns feels quite a lot better / higher quality than on the PT111 lineup. The take down process is also better.

Only Taurus I owned was a Raging Bull in 454 Casull. It was beautifully finished, had a very nice trigger right outta the box and was very accurate.

Brought home the bacon with it a number of times. It now belongs to a good friend who used it to take a Elk, & quite a few wild hogs.

I’ve had many Taurus pistols… probably 20 over last 10 years… many calibers, many makes and models

I’ve had no more problem with my Taurus pistols than I’ve had with other brands

YMMV

If you like the gun, perhaps try one of the Houge grips first.

I've got a Slip-On and the largest backstrap on it. Just not enough grip or weight for me.
