b.c.

The rep. at Taurus accused me of using handloads at first. This was after advising them that I had only put factory ammo through it. Which was true.

Then the rep. said that their was something wrong with the Winchester cases. Not the guns chambers. I told the rep. I could visually see the rough chambers with my naked eye!

This went on and on, until they said they would take a look at it if I sent it back to them. But if it was anything other than a factory default, I'd be charged. (I know others, who have bought Taurus' and have gone down the same road that I did with them. Not a pleasant experience! They have sent their gun in to be repaired, only to have it returned to them months later, and the problem wasn't fixed.)

Honestly, They must get a lot of 'doofuses' calling with complaints about their New Taurus guns. Still, no reason for them to be accusatory and unwilling to fullfill their warranty obligations. I did like the Rageing Bull and it's porting system, but I'll never but another Taurus product again, because of the customer service previously stated.

I should have known better than to buy one when no major police dept. in the country (that I'm aware of) will allow their officers to carry a Taurus.

I got rid of the Taurus and bought a Ruger in .454. I really liked that gun but would have like to seen them come out with a 5 1/2" bbl. model. The felt recoil in a .454 Ruger is a lot more than that of the Taurus or the Freedom Arms' .454s. A touch of the earthquake, if you will.
