First handgun i ever bought, before i really edjumacated myself on firearms. Well I've held on to it over the years cause it doesn't jam and always goes bang, put well over 1000 bulk .45 ammo through it. Even though i have two Glocks now i keep this one in my vehicle so if its stolen then its not such a big deal. Post your Taurus, good or bad i know they are out there.
Also, no i wouldn't buy another or recommend them, but thats mostly because you guys have made me a gear snob.  JK and YMMV.

No pictures, but I own a PT111G2, and love it. I have had it for about six months now, and put around 1000 rounds through it with no drama or trouble of any kind. It shoots well, handles well, and is reliable. There you have it, and when it comes to pistols I am a bit of a snob, I own a couple of commie milsurps, but mostly Smith and Wesson revolvers and Beretta and Glock autos, and even a couple of Colt 1911's including a Gold Cup in 38 super. |

Only experience with one, friends out shooting. When we were done we watched a movie and cleaned guns. Buddy hands me his gun asking what he should do about what looks like a crack. Yup, cracked frame, I told him to ship it back to Taurus. First impressions can be a bitch. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

I've had 5 or 6. I'm almost embarrased to say that, it's like I have to be beaten over and over again before I learned my lesson. Of all of them, only the PT92 was any good, and that's because Taurus didn't design it, didn't design or build the machines it was made on and didn't source the materials it was made with. I learned my lesson with KelTec after only 4 of their pieces of shit. So I am getting better. |

| I have 3. Model 92af from when a college roommate couldn't come up with $200 for the rent 1 month. My first pistol. I have purposely tried to jam it loading g a mixed magazine of heavy,light and +p loads, no luck, went bang every time. A model 85 5 shot .38 thAt has a very smooth trigger and nice lock up, guessing made in the 1980's from when I bought it. Finally a 945, single stack stainless .45. Feeds anything I put in it, just like the model 92 and field strips just the same. Only complaint I have is the .45 was new enough to have the stupid hex key lock on the back of the frame. I never use it. I prefer the frame safety over the slide mounted safety on the beretta. I'm under no illusion these are status guns, but they are working guns that perform their jobs very well. |

I have a 1911 from them. The billboard on the side is obnoxious, but I haven't had any issues with it and have owned it since about 08 or so. Easily 5k rounds through it. I bought it because I wanted a cheap 1911 to decide if I wanted a nice 1911. I've moved on and bought some nice 1911's, but have still been shooting it regularly. |

The worst firearms I ever owned were made by Taurus. They are way long gone for me. Having said that, the PT 92 I owned was a very decent pistol that never jammed on me, but I had to have a Beretta. The PT 92 was very crude compared to my 92FS. Interesting . Which gun is the Beretta

I shot my friends 24/7 pro in .45 and kind of like it. The trigger had a very long take up, but a short crisp break, and a very quick reset...I found myself not hating it...then found I actually kind if liked it. I wouldn't mind having one as a beater to keep in the truck. |

That bitch!

got a TCP .380 pocket pistol from buds last spring.
had great reviews. I have put through quite a few rounds with zero malfunctions. even with some shady looking off brand russian ammo. great trigger, much more accurate then I expected a .380 with a 1 inch bbl to be. good enough for head shots at 20 yards. |
