Taurus Millenium Series - Page 3

**deafdogdief** · 11-04-2009, 08:24 PM

Stay away from the first generation 9mm unless they have been fixed by the manufacturer. They had jamming and stovepiping problems. I also read an article a while ago where they compared the Beretta 92 and the knockoff Taurus in a several thousand round shoot-off. The barrrels were cut in half length wise and the Beretta lans were excellent, but the Taurus barrel was shotgun bore smooth and worn. This has steered me clear of Taurus. I know that you are talking about the Millenium series but I though this applicable. I can not find the article on the net, but if anyone else could that would be a real eye-opener.

I own the Third Gen PT111 milpro in 9mm. This is my first Taurus and I have to say it has been a reliable shooter at a great price. So far I have put about 1000 rounds through it with no issues and I've shot some real junk ammo through it. It hits what I aim at the first time every time. My normal carry is a .357 snubnose revolver and I purchased the Taurus with the stainless steel slide for carry when I jog or hike so the sweat doesn't tarnish the finish. Mainly it is a range gun for me now since I blew out my knee and no longer jog but I wouldn't hesitate using it as a ccw or bug to my magnum. Hope this helps.

I'm one of those people that really wants to like the Taurus lineup (there are definitely two that I'd like to own), but based on some friends' experiences, and the Taurus customer service that they've received (frustration, instead), I just can't support that company. I like to shoot them, they're fun, cheaper, and feel decent in my hand. I'd love to have one for a car/truck gun, but I just don't know how I'd feel if it were to break, and I had to get the runaround from customer service, despite the lifetime warranty.

Some things have a lifetime warranty for a reason....a lifetime of possible problems. I chose a Ruger over the Taurus do to the complaints about their customer service. I love my Ruger, and would like to own a Taurus if I could be confident I wasn't getting screwed.
