The NRA loves Taurus-they give away free memberships with each new gun bought. Also the ex-boss (just retired I think) at Taurus is an ex-Army
officer and is a West Point graduate. The Judge was produced under his watch. Taurus sells a heck of a lot more guns than people give them credit for in the USA. The combined Brazilian gunmakers out -import Glock and every other importer of weapons to the US.
I cannot understand how a West Point man would allow all these mediocre weapons into the USA. Price point indeed. (everyone has a price) People buy 'em and most of them work part of the time so there you go. My family has had several revolvers from Taurus that worked well and still shoot good after over 10 years of intermittent use. (38 snubs). Many MIM parts are made byu Taurus for other makers around the world.
Keep on keepin on Taurus!

My 4" is the best shooting medium frame .357 I've ever owned and I got it for &197 at a gun show. It's pre-MIM, but post transfer bar which is a good thing as the trigger is better than my older hammer block gun. I bought both my 66s used, both pre MIM guns, the 3" I found for %180 and it's a straight shooter, too, and carries well IWB or OWB. Bought my 85UL new in 96 and it's a pre-MIM gun. It's a great shooter and I do carry it a lot. I carry my 3" 66 occasionally, but it's big and heavy for a pocket and I prefer pocket carry. I don't have to carry a 20,000 dollar firearm to feel well protected, just one I have confidence in and can shoot well.
