Possible Taurus Takeover

[93 FOX]

As Taurus currently charges "$450 for a $150 firearm", I don't see any possibility of a price break on any of the listed companies. I can see Taurus investing in a technology/other foriegn market to bring manufacturing costs down, but that wont translate to lower final product costs. It's a business to make money... They will make as much as possible

I know Taurus has a handful of satisfied fanboys out there, I certainly know a few in person. And I'm genuinely happy those poor souls are happy with their paperweights. But most I know play the part of satisfied customer just to protect their own ego...

So you know this because you have own quite a few Taurus guns and they were junk? Or because of your extensive research with Taurus guns? Care to elaborate?

So you know this because you have own quite a few Taurus guns and they were junk? Don't they have a lifetime warranty on all their firearms? Or because of you extensive research with guns? Care to elaborate?

Looks Like He Shot His Eye Out......

Not really. I'm not here to convince you Taurus is junk, just to share my own opinion and listen to others.

I'm just asking to back up your statements saying Taurus sells $150 guns for $450. So no proof of that huh? I'm not a Taurus fan just asking to show proof. But I didn't expect any either. They sell their guns cheaper because of lower wages in Brazil. As far as their quality, from the research I did, their revolvers are not quite the quality of Smith and Wesson but their semi-auto's are pretty good. If you want a little proof from real Taurus reviews just let me know and I can provide.

That's the beauty of an opinion... No facts needed. Opinions are infallible. I like my Judge, but I'm always afraid shooting it will break it

I had a Raging Bull in 454 Casull that I liked. That said, I bought a PT111 that was junk out of the box. I thought I would give them another chance when I bought a PT709 slim. It was junk. One of my son's friend just bought a PT709 slim after I told him it was junk. They took it shooting last weekend and the extractor broke. Now I have it on the gun bench and I am trying to get him another extractor for it. I called Friday, but after waiting on hold for 30 minutes and still having 30 callers ahead of me. I gave up.
I will never own another.

Have owned a Taurus 617 and it was a great gun ( only sold it because I needed the money) and currently own the S&W Sigma also a great gun ( shoots anything I put in it) .

I have a taurus 444 lightweight 44 mag and it works great. I also have a s&w 15-22 that broke the 3rd time i took it to the range. My favorite is S&W even though my M&P has had problems. Every manufacturer has problems with guns. If yall don't want Taurus to buy them then buy it yourself
