I understand teasing hipoint owners for buying garbage guns, but Taurus is actually reliable. Why do people look down on Taurus?

    Nowadays? Taurus isn’t that bad. Their reputation, however, is not great due to their past with reliability issues and generally not great products. An older Taurus 1911 would’ve had a stiff trigger pull whereas a modern would would be inline with modern-ish standards (haven’t gotten one in the shop in a while, if I had to guess it’d be about a 5lb trigger pull). New manufacture G3 and G3Cs have had close to no issues in terms of what customers have been saying.

    Bottom line. Would I recommend a Taurus firearm in terms of sales, today? 50/50. It depends on the firearm.
