We got the wife a Taurus 9 shot 22lr snub nose. It had horrendously heavy trigger pull out of the box. After a little spring work it is much much better. It has never had any problems firing and for what it is it's pretty accurate.

I think the one things I've seen is occasionally a defective one will slip past inspection. Just look it over good before taking it home. Which is actually pretty good practice for every gun.

I have several different Taurus revolvers; a Judge, 605, 651, 94 and 1 Rossi .357, also have a PT 24/7 9mm. (I have 1 S&W 66, which is also a great revolver). I have never had any problems with any of them. I have only had trouble with junk reloaded ammo. We have fired all of these weapons with lots of different ammo, but mostly Winchester and Blazer CCI. Near zero problems and none have ever been sent back for repairs. I also have two Rossi rifles, a pump .22 any round and a .357 stainless lever action, both beautiful crafted and accurate fire arms, in their on rights. GTG!

Had an airweight 357 hammerless
Loved it
Carried it everywhere...
I'm in Florida right next to the ocean
Carried it in a galco pocket holster day after day
After about 6months...the cyl release rusted totally dark brown....wow
Never had that happen on my Smith 642 airweight....just the Taurus
I wish I still had that ole girl....I guess I shoulda just ordered another cyl release
but it P*ssed my off so bad that they would build a gun that would do that....I sold it off
Just the thought of wow the whole gun was either titanium or stainless and they put a cyl release that was either pot metal or poor grade
stainless..freaked me out....

My Judge fires every time with every load I put through it. Can't say much for the trigger, as I modify every gun I have to custom triggers.

None out for this one yet. I doubt I see one either lol..

My brand new UL is in Miami Florida undergoing warranty work. The shells were hard to extract, and the cylinder would freeze up on me. I called them first, and explained the problem, and immediately they sent me a free shipping label on line. FedEx came out the next day and picked it up for free. I have a stainless steel 444 that has never had a hiccup. Although I didn't like having to hammer out the empties, I did like the warranty service, and it's for life. If they resolve the issues at the shop, I will be satisfied. If not, I will send it back again. Lubing the lower 1/3rd of the brass makes for easy cyclling and extractions, but I ought not have to do this. When I get the UL back, I'll update this thread on the quality of their warranty work.
