ATTN: Taurus

I get it. You guys are making cool guns and doing your best to make the “affordable” versions of better guns. But why? Your we still sucks and your customer service still sucks. Why? Even if by the grace of god your numbers start bouncing back. When the inevitable happens you guys will tank once more. Just stop. Stop worrying about new guns and fix all your shitty ones that you sent out to people first.

Taurus QC used to be way worse, are you seriously complaining? Yes some of the stuff that makes it out may have a QC issue, but Taurus customer service has improved by a lot... And as of late the QC is the best it's ever been from Taurus so it seems like they are doing there best.
unlike other bigger names.... Smith and Wesson and colt for example,,, are just piggy backing off there name and past success and giving customers worse guns with horrendous QC issues and even worse customer service that will fight fixing anything...
Personally I think you don't know what you are talking about... 🤷

It’s got a lifetime warranty. And that is great. Because you’re going to need it. LOL.

Taurus CS was great for me. A bunch of nice southern ladies on the phone that promptly set me up for RMA on a bad barrel.

Okay Gomer, okay. You do you. Your opinions are just that - opinions and they're almost always right for you.

I bought a Taurus G2C as my first handgun as I wasn’t familiar with the brands and wasn’t sure how much I would get into handgun shooting so the $260 price tag seems fair to test the waters.
It has been 100% reliable and I would bet my life to it if I had to, plus the restrike capability makes dry fire training a breeze.
That being said, as soon as I bought and started shooting better handguns (favorite Springfield, but also smith and Wesson, Glock, and Sig) it became very apparent to me how unrefined and unpleasant of a tool the Taurus is. For first time buyers, I always recommend just buying a barebones flagship models from one of the big brands in the $450-$650 range. Best case scenario they have a great platform that can grow with the shooter, worst case they have a great gun to count on if they ever need it.
One exception is the TX22. That thing is fun, reliable, and a great cheap .22 trainer. Everyone should buy a TX22

The one thing I like about Taurus, I don’t remember if it was the G2 or G3, but the trigger resets on its own. You can do dry fire practice as much as you want and you don’t have to rack the gun.

I'm a poor. Seriously broke. My daily driver is a G3C that I now have over a thousand rounds through without a single failure. I have to clean and re-oil after every range trip to make that happen, but that's my experience.
There's a plastic striker guide and a plastic striker spring retaining clip setup that are both a bit sketchy. For less than 50 bucks with shipping I replaced both with parts from Lakeline LLC in stainless steel. I've also severely upgraded the sights, I've got a 600 lumen Olight PL2 Mini Valkyrie on it and a set of hilariously oversized fixed gas pedals made of hardware store bits and a half inch optic riser from Yankee Hill Machine, and a completely homebrew holster to control all this insanity.
And I genuinely love it. It's ugly, it's ghetto, but it works. I can hold the nose down under recoil with my offhand thumb and drop an entire mag into 8 inches at 15 yards as fast as I can yank the trigger.
I then added one of the few thousand Taurus TS9 monsters that were released into the US market although that was never the intended destination. These things are only intended for overseas military and police sales, they're the standard issue sidearm of the Filipino and Jamaican national police lol and they're basically an example of Taurus trying to build a better Glock than a Glock.
And they succeeded.
Now again, that critter is from a different division of Taurus and intended at an entirely different market. It still shows what they're actually capable of when they really try.
I'm prepping that gun for carry right now. Just got a hold of the 3D printed sights I ordered.

If price is your biggest concern on a firearm, you likely aren't going to shoot very much since it costs money to shoot too. I don't think Taurus cares to make better guns because the majority of their customers aren't going to shoot enough to break them. If Taurus was losing $ with warranty repairs, they would change their business model.
