![]() Neither revolver submitted met the accuracy standards before beginn8ng the test. I just finished reading a summary of problems encountered with S&W model 65 revolvers submitted for testing in consideration for adoption by the border patrol in 1984. Agin the G series pistols seem to have a decent track record. It’s a good thing to have, because many sites just wan5 cheerleaders for their products without acknowledging that they can all have problems. They have specific sections for Taurus problems. Many forums exist for many of the gun manufacturers out there. They should seek reviews and track records. Yes there is a element of truth that one should seek out the best quality they can afford. If the problem is the firearm criticism is ok as long as guidance follows. If this is a first gun and a first experience with failures, either ammo related or firearm related it is an opportunity to guide somone through the process of determining where the problem may lie. But firearms ownership can be a progression. Sometimes it can be delivered a bit harshly. I do think there is merit in offering constructive criticism. 400 rounds is not 2,000 but it alreadybstarts to speak more to ammo problems than gun problems. I don’t care if the pistol cost $200 or $2,000 if it runs 2,000 rounds successfully on all other ammo, then it is probably good to go and the ammo is the problem. A quick hit with a polishing stone and the pistol has gone over 3,400 rounds without a hitch with multiple brands fired. A burr on the lower edge of the hook was binding on the thicker rimmed rounds But allowing the thinner rims to pass up the breech face as intended. ![]() Turned out rim thickness was different a bit. What was different about the cartridges in the two brands that didn’t function and the rounds that did Function. Instead I tried to trouble shoot the problem. If using internet gun forum logic I would have ditched the pistol right then and gone to a forum to call all Berettas garbage. I had 4 brands of ammo with me it was choking on two brands (1-3 rounds per mag would fail to feed) and running the other two brands with no problem. My first outing with this pistol left me feeling a bit ill. I bought it with the intent of making it my primary carry pistol. I started this with my Beretta Px4 compact. I started keeping a log book of ammo run through my carry guns as well as other pistols just to keep track of round count initially, but also to log changes I may have made to a pistol, such as changing recoil springs and noting any new changes in performance or reliability. Without either of those two tests, we can only go with the data at hand. ![]() If it runs like crap in another gun I’m going to blame the ammo. If you can run it successfully in another pistol, then you may be able to assign some blame to the gun. The majority of reviews are now positive.įinding a load or brand of ammunition that does not function is not a full condemnation of the pistol involved. The millennium series showed some early problems but Taurus seems to have done what most folks would ask a company to do. I may not be a fan of Taurus and especially their auto loaders.
