I have to say “aye” to chlonstructor’s post. Ve had several Taurus revolvers, and none of them were reliable. Although I will say the Model 85 snub my ex—late-wife had never actually broke, it didn’t get shot much. The others were prone to locking up under stiff recoil, and one (a Taurus Titanium Tracker) literally fell apart at the range while I was shooting it on my first session with it. I would not buy another Taurus revolver.

OTOH, I have a couple Taurus PT 92’s, and I have shot them a lot and consider them excellent pistols. I prefer the Taurus 92 to its parent, the Beretta 92, because of the frame mounted safety-decock lever. This is a much superior design feature than the slide mounted safety lever on the Beretta in my view.
