2nd bad Taurus review

single shot · 03-03-2009, 09:50 PM

Brand new 856 revolver - problem with the cylinder falling out when you point it down(its a spring) - Sometimes sticks when you try to close the cylinder, will not close at all. have fired 200 rounds or so and it is getting worse. I am disappointed with the gun -fit and finish of the triger and hammer is poor. Just much poorer quality than I expected after all the good reviews. I think Taurus and I are a bad fit!

Yep, I know it's mine

We don't sell them for just that reason...too many problems and not enough attention to quality.We dont want unsatisfied customers. We wont even work on them. Many people seem to like them though, and to each his own.

I think Taurus is starting to go downhill quality-wise. For a while I know that they were fine, but lately it seems as though they are slacking off. I started the one about the Taurus 1911 if you haven't already read it, check it out.

I have liked every Taurus I have ever shot. I have called them with just general questions and they have been very easy to talk to. Never had a problem with one so I have never had to have one returned. Call them if you are having a problem with one of their guns.

I gotta go with stalebiscuit on that one. My 686 is perfect after about a year now. All I have to do is clean it.
