Video of AD Taurus pistol

Unless it has a round Spinny thing I wouldn't touch a taurus. The only Taurus semi-auto I have owned was a 24/7 I bought new and every time I fired it the slide stuck completely to the rear past the stop lever, tap it and it went forward and would fire again. I know of another that fired multiple shots with each trigger pull new out of the box.

All the Taurus pistols I've shot were garbage. Would never own one.

[ZERO THEORY]

There are reasons I will never own another Taurus product.

I've used their semis twice. Both had non-stop Type 1s and Type 2s.

Wow, scary.

Reminds me of the shake weight.

I've had a few Taurus revolvers and while not as good, they compare favorably with my Smith & Wesson's. I had an opportunity to pick up a Taurus 1911 in a trade, it was so loose it rattled, it caused me to pass on the whole deal. I don't know why they struggle with auto loaders so much.

I thought striker fired guns had to have the trigger pulled to give enough oomph to pop the primer?

This would not be possible in say a glock because yes the trigger cocks the striker.

Pistols such as a xd and apparently this thing are single action with an internal hammer (striker)

For those defending their revolvers, be warned. I had a very horrible, unsafe experience with one of their revolvers. After three returns to be repaired under their lifetime warranty I finally traded the thing off. I haven't owned one of their products since and sleep very well at night.

No hammer in the XD. It's striker fired like the Glock. The only difference is the striker is fully cocked on the XD.

Interesting. I have owned 5-6 taurus (2-pt1911, one raging bull, 2 pt-92, and one other revolver in 44 mag) and NEVER had a problem with them. I currently have 2 PT 92, one with at least 3k round and along from my hk usp 45, it's one of the most reliable guns I have ever owned.... Now I had crappy 150$ used glock 22 which shot 30 degree off bore and a 1200$ kimber 1911 which developed a cracked frame after 200 rnds.... I guess I am lucky, or I take good care of my guns or Taurus product are just as good as other, but get a bad reputation just because of their name.
