Even though I’ve heard some good things about Taurus guns recently, no, I wouldn’t carry one for personal defense.
Only if it was a revolver
I'd learn to do this first before I carried a Taurus...
NO.
Yep.709 Slim was my truck gun for a good while. Never an issue of any kind. Went bang and cycled every trigger pull.
Our Kia Sorento has been rock solid at 112,000 miles, and my Taurus Judge has never failed me although I won’t use it for a carry gun.
Tractor gun? YES!
Nope, never, nah, negative.
I'm with this guy. S&W 442 performance center every day!
I have a Taurus PT1911 in 45 acp it does not like semi wad cutters.
In fact many 1911's do not feed those reliably.
Feed ramp on the 1911 type firearm is too steep and makes the bullet nose go up and hit the top of the chamber and this will
sometimes kilter the round enough to hang up when going into battery.
I have had them hang on the edge of the bullet and on the mouth of the case.
Round nose bullet and roll the flare out of the case or add a tiny tiny amount of crimp.
Much more reliable feeding.
There were robbers casing the neighbors house, I ran them off and had the Taurus PT1911 in my hands and I was a bit worried
because I had a mix of bullets in it and was thinking what if I get a fail to feed when they begin shooting at me ...If they do shoot at me.
If any gun ever has a fail to feed or fail to fire I am leery of it.
Use ammo that is 100% reliable in the weapon.
And on the Hi-Point deal All 3 of mine are 100% reliable with SWC and round nose and HP bullets no need to add a crimp either.
Feed ramp is not steep and bullet enters chamber in more of a straight line.
I wish the 1911 entered the chamber in a straight line.
Yes I was wishing I pulled the Hi-Point off the shelf when I ran the robbers off.
I do not EDC
