Taurus may not be a "custom" gun, but it is a good gun at a good price!
Personaly I WONT buy or own a Glock, Sig, or a Springfield! If Taurus is a comparible product using the same materials, in order to sell it cheaper they have to cut the cost somewhere. That is by employing people in foreign countries to work for a substandard wage. I would much rather pay a higher price for a gun that is made in America by Americans, who are trying to make a honest wage and are paying taxes here in America. Everyone is worried about saving a few dollars and buying foreign made products (that are also made here) then they want to b*tch and moan because unemployment is through the roof, and our economy is in the toilet. Start buying American products, this DOES create domestic jobs. Support our economy not some foreigners!
Actually I do own a Taurus, it is a model 455 Titanium revolver in the 45acp, it is a collector gun that is worth a few bucks, not because it is good, because they made very few of them. I got it years ago, my dad gave it to me, it is the only reason I still have it. I have shot and been arround a bunch of Taurus's, never been impressed by any of them. They are just a poor, cheap copy of the real thing, there revolvers are a sorry copy of the Smith & Wesson, the PT92 is a sorry copy of the Berreta, The 1911 is another example of a wannabe good gun. Its kind of like a guy that buys a Chevrolet and is trying to convince everone else that it is the same, or as good as a Cadillac.
