In My Opinion, Taurus revolvers are rock solid, exceptionally good gear. I have not yet formed an opinion on their autos, though I've tried. There were supposedly some issues once upon a time which have supposedly been resolved. I hear very good things and some not so good things depending on who you're talking to.austinrealtor wrote:I try not to say bad things about guns/brands I have not owned/used/carried. I know a lot of people who trust their life to Taurus. There are others who feel it is an inferior brand. To each his own, I have no personal experience with the brand other than taking a few shots with a friend's or relative's gun at a range.
I've never been a big Glock fan, but they do make an exceptionally reliable weapon. You'll be hard pressed to find any firearm more reliable than a Glock. As far as the safety, just keep your finger off the trigger except when you want it to go bang, and you'll be fine.
Most revolvers don't have a manual safety. You pull the trigger and it fires. Same with Glocks and some other autos. The trigger is much lighter than a double-action revolver, but not nearly as touchy as a single action pistol. Really not an issue if you keep your booger hook off the bang switch.
