I talk **** about Taurus because I've personally owned 3 Model 85 that had to be sent back to them.

I've had 4 of their modern production semi auto's ( 2-Taurus millennium; 1-PT24/7, and a PT945) all had to be sent back to the factory. The PT24/7 would fire when you dropped the slide!

I also had a Tracker in .41MAG, that was brand new, fail after 3 rounds! The frame bent, I was lucky to notice the trigger pull change or I might not have a hand.

Had a 1911 that the barrel was such a soft metal, a JHP ( Winchester WWB) put a dent in the feed ramp!

I can't count how many I sent back to Taurus when I worked the gun counters as well.

Out of curiosity, with all of those issues, when do you stop buying Taurus crap? Just sayin. You must be a very forgiving person. lol

That said, I would like to pick you brain on a spas I picked up at some point.
 
I think some models are junk I had a 357 in a Taurus that was ok those the only ones I ha e ever owned

I got a .357 for my daughter, but she doesn't want guns in her house, but her husband has 4 in his safe. She rather stab someone my daughter his violence in her blood, none of my sons are like her.
 
My money, my choice, Poors gotta poor
Yes...yes we do.
My Taurus collection currently consists of a G3C which I traded a damn SCCY CPX1 for. Also have the original Millennium 9mm which is kinda rare since a LOT of them were recalled and destroyed over a supposed safety lever issue that was mostly user error. And then there's the pre Taurus Spesco 38 Special I recently traded for. And I still ain't shot any of them.
But let me go on record as saying I dig the size trigger grip shape and texture of this G3C a lot more than my G19. There...I said it. Think what you will.

The 41MAG My father bought, I just got to pop it's cherry...

I mostly traded into them, by multiple guns for my one trades years ago. I stopped after the 3rd brand new M85 failed me again. Less then a month before, the 1911 barrel took the nick. I haven't owned one since.

As for the Spas-12. PM me, add pictures and I'll tell you what I can about it!
