I like the concept…most any other manufacturer, I’d be interested.

Not a bad look, liking new hammer fired options out there, but unlike revolvers, never had personal experience with thier pistols, nor know anyone with a lot of good experiences.

I've had good luck with all of my Taurus products. Better than Ruger, Springfield or S&W.

I am quite the opposite; 1 Tracker .357 that was out of time in less than 200 rounds, and a PT92 that had an action that felt like it had been sitting in a bucket of sand.

I see no point in giving them a third chance.

I wish I had your resolve. I had a Chiefs special (Model 36?) that was so far off that Smith rebarreled it. My CSX has been back to Smith twice and they said there was nothing they could do because they couldnt duplicate the random malfunction. My 5906 had FTE problems and my M&P40 1.0... well, the M&P was used when I got it. It's issues may have been Bubba related. The only new, in-box Smith that has been fantastic from the start has been my 5906TSW. Still, I will probably give them another chance. Maybe. ...probably. It'll have to be interesting (not really).

I have had excellant experiences with two Taurus revolvers and a third had the very common cylinder tie up issues of many 90s models. Which of course made me leary and very cautious.

I have no experiences with thier pistols.

I would give another Taurus revolver a chance, IF, it was something unique to thier brand, which is how I ended up with the .380 snub. Given common attributes, use, size etc I would purchase a comparable Smith, or Ruger any day. Have never had an issue with either brands revolvers.

As far as buying a Taurus pistol, there has always been something that I liked better or was more familiar with.

The only pistol I have of theirs is a TH9c. It has been great. I have three of their revolvers. No issues. My oldest was purchased in '99.
