Hope you've got a thick skin. Nothing wrong with saving money, I agree about Taurus revolvers. I prefer to catch good deals on slightly used name brand items. You can get a good "anybrand" gun, the problem with them is consistency, like 3 or 4 bad out of 10 produced. I just bought a "quality name" rifle, not an AR, over a "lesser" quality of the same type and spent an extra $200 to do so only to find it was manufactured by a different "lesser" company for the "quality name" company when I got it in my hands and could read all the markings. Something inside it broke the first night I had it while I was cycling the action, so back to the factory it goes and we'll see if the "quality name" companies' customer service is as good as the original "lesser" named one is.

In my experiences, most "gun" people people start with shotguns and/or "fudd" guns, then evolve into Black Rifles as they look to try new things. Your experience is not uncommon, just remember to leave the door open (figuratively speaking) to eventually trading or paying up for more quality firearms/firearm accessories in the future. |

i paid $850 NIB for a Colt MT6400C i paid $400 LNIB for a Kimber Custom Stainless i paid $99 NIB for a Mossberg 500 w/ Slug Barrel & Bushnell 3-9x I can't stand Taurus... my friend owned a PT140... it was a total POS... you couldn't fire a mag without a failure of some kind... the gun shot patterns not groups... what really turned me off to Taurus was when i found out they were supporting my college with smartgun research... |
