Good designs,,,
Lousy quality control from the factory.
You never know if you are getting a good one or a total turkey,,,
In recent years I have purchased 3 brand new revolvers,,,
Model 94, Model 970, and a Model 990.
Two had problems right out of the box.
The "Taurus Lifetime Warranty" did kick in,,,
And since they were new they paid the shipping.
But, it took forever to get the guns back (over three months each),,,
And one came back and it still had the same dang problem,,,
I had to send it back again and wait another 3 months.
It's a shame too as I really did like that 5" Model 94,,,
But it had timing problems from day one.
I might buy a used Taurus but only if I could range test it first,,,
Buying a new Taurus is a crap-shoot at best.
