I was looking for a large frame auto with ambidextrous 3 position safety (I’m a southpaw)and after reading so much, I went for this pistol. The first one came in with a bent recoil spring guide. OK, it’s a fluke and I’ll get another. Second gun appeared perfect. Disassembled and cleaned before trying out. I never made it through a 50 box! The gun refused to fire after every 5 – 6 rounds. Several pulls and click, then another cock, and pull, and a fire. Very unsafe. I returned the Taurus to the dealer and they said, sorry we can’t exchange for another firearm, only return for repair. Dealer does not have a range so it couldn’t be ‘try before buy’. So we take the gun out back and they load it with hotter loads and got the same results. Dealer says, this is unacceptable and WE WILL RETURN IT AND DEAL WITH THE MANUFACTURER. Pick another and we’ll put the cost into the new. So I went for Beretta 92A1 and hopefully it’ll be 100%. Not intended for CCW, more for a nightstand piece.
