This is kind of a venting thread. I owned pistols from several manufactures including 6 Taurus firearms within the last few years starting with the PT111 G2. I now only one 3. but all but the Model 85 is a safe queen. Six out of six have been flawless. Nothing broke and zero malfunctions.
With that said, my wife is interested in getting her CCP and a pistol of her own. She owned a Taurus Slim in the past, but with me being influenced by Taurus bashing, I stirred her towards the Ruger LC9s Pro after she tried one at the range. I ordered myself a Walther PPS M2 LE. Well we had our first range trip with both guns and my relatively new Shield 45 Performance Center. The dots on the Walther's luminescent sights fells out with the first mag. The mag release on her LC9 became very difficult to push, it started to get light strikes, and then later the trigger gave out completely. Pull the trigger and absolutely nothing happens. No sound, no nothin'.To top it all off, when I got home and went to clean the Shield, the captured recoil spring came apart...
In all the years that I've owned firearms, I've never had a problem and never had to use warranty services. If I had to do it all over again, I'd just kept my mouth shut, ignored the naysayers and snobs, and just purchase Taurus Slim like she was wanted in the first place.
