Yes. I own (2) Taurii, (3) S&W, and (2) Ruger Bisley SAs. When I bought my last revolver it was a Taurus, a 44SS4 .44 Mag.

Taurus makes some innovative products you can't get from other manufacturers, as well as being a good value compared to S&W, imo. I did have one bad experience with a Taurus, an M94 .22 revolver. Horrid trigger and adjustable sights that would not stay put, and it could not be made better. Others have complained about the same things on the same gun. It's almost as if these .22s are made in a different factory with different QC goals.

The above is my opinion on their revolvers only. I'm not a big fan of their semi autos by any means. I've never handled one that didn't feel cheap and chintzy.

P.S. Edited to add, this is always a lively topic. You might search around and see what others have said. It's never going to change. Some people love them, some hate them.
