I keep looking into getting a Taurus 817 (or maybe a 617) because Ruger and Smith just don't make a gun w/ this capacity that is this compact/light. I've never owned a Taurus, and have read they can be hit or miss in their quality.
I know if I get one and like it, I'll want to have an action job done, trigger polished, and hammer bobbed. I use Clark Custom Guns (CCG) and they won't work on a Taurus, the lady told me I should just get a Ruger or Smith (which I already have both).
Does anyone know of a Decent Gunsmith who will work on a Taurus? Are they really that bad on the inside that gunsmiths don't want to work on them, and if they are couldn't a gunsmith replace some of the "bad" internals with better ones?
Sorry, I just don't know very much about gunsmithing, but I appreciate info on this.
