I suspect that most of the Taurus bashers have never owned or shot one! I buy American stuff if possible. I will not buy over priced quality though. Just what is the bias against Taurus? Please enlighten me! It cannot possibly be an "American" issue. If that were the case no one would be buying Glocks, Sigs, and oh yeah, the "Croatian Springfeild!"
Taurus may not be a "custom" gun, but it is a good gun at a good price!
