Are they still the worst firearms manufacturer?

>Remington actually imports their 1911 frames from brazil so they won't fuck them up

Didn‘t their terrible reputation arise from the fact, that in Brazil their guns are mandatory standard issue for the police, and so they can give them the worst junk possible and get away with it?

the 24/7 firing without the trigger being pulled was a huge blow to their reputation

somehow Sig didn't suffer the same way

their rep on small carry pistols is well earned, however their service size guns and revolvers are decent

yeah their gen ones did that in brazil, however the ones the u.s got didn't have that problem

Never the worst.

Pretty sure Springfield does, too.

I've seen this one before but I believe it's still unsubstantiated as of yet. I'd take it with a grain of salt after the claim the M1A receivers were cast in Brazil turned out to be bullshit.

Looking into it, I'm seeing reports that they were made at least in part by Imbel in Brazil (serial numbers with N, WW and NM), but then they cut ties with them.

Supposedly, they are now made in Illinois, but no word as to who supplies the blanks.

Taurus still has really bad reputation in Brazil. Every once in a while there's news that a huge part of a weapons shipment to law enforcement had to be sent back because it was not safe to shoot. All cops I know refuse to use it, 24/7 especially.
Maybe the ones they sell in america are the good ones, and we get the leftovers (wich is all kinds of fucked up in its own way).

i shot a 9mm taurus 1911 at a rental range and to be honest it felt great

If the magazines for the RP9/RP45 weren't garbage, they would probably be an okay firearm for the price. Just okay, not great.
I've read that the factory mags are all ProMag, so the shit-tier feeding doesn't surprise me.

I don't know much about Taurus guns, but from what I've seen and heard the PT111 G2 of theirs is a definite improvement from the previous model

I also rarely hear complaints over their M85 revolver; I suspect that Taurus can make some solid guns, but that their QC is the main problem

how does proshit even exist? it's like they purposely want to make bad magazines, i think i could mold magazines out of my own shit that function better

any freedom group companies produce garbage

Same here, most of what I know is from TV and friends.
A while ago BOPE and São Paulo police refused to buy guns from them, opting to importing (the law of only buying domestic was ignored, their argument were "they're shit"). That and an israeli (? I don't remember right now) announcing they would build a factory here was probably a big blow for them, so they probably had to step up their game.

I have absolutely no idea how they're still around. MecGar actually makes good stuff, and they're generally cheaper than ProShit.

Still the worst large name gun manuf. i work at a gun store and the only guys we have problems with new are springfield and taurus.

we sell a lot of them to black people

the g2 isnt a bad gun, 82 isnt a bad revolver (for the price) i wouldnt spend more than $300 on a taurus gun tho. Ive seen too many break to be deeply invested in one.

also enjoy shipping your gun back for a repair and it coming back more broken than when you sent it

blacks buy hi point, turkshit, and Saturday night garbage from my experience working at a big box store and a small lgs, if they can pass the background check that is

Brazil seems like a good example of how too much protectionism can be a bad thing

Taurus seems to have a virtual monopoly in Brazil (South Brazil?), and likely had little to no foreign competition; pretty bad combination if you want quality domestic goods

We dont carry that kind of stuff tho. its not worth our time to sell any gun new or used for under $200.

besides that kind of stuff brings in the wrong crowd. its not worth the $140 + tax it brings in. just dealing with the 4473 and LEO's

Remington's only good good is their 1911. Taurus' only good gun is the M9 clone. Taurus' cheap shit costs less than Remington's expensive shit. I'd say that makes Taurus better.

kek

They are better than Sig at this point.

But it's not Rohm.

Travis, go fuck yourself, they still suck ass except for the PT-92 series.

Rohm doesn't even exist anymore. All their assets were purchased by Umarex.

I want to say fuck you, but trips do not lie.

I mean... Look at the fucking P320 fiasco. Or the new P365 whose trigger dies unless held upside-down .

Springfield buys theirs from taiwan or some gook country i believe

MY PT-92 is a badass pistol. Easy to put on target, easy to shoot, very accurate, and pretty god damn reliable, This and maybe 1 or 2 other models would be all i'd trust

I got a PT111 cause whythefucknot for 180, 800rnds through it and not a single malfunction.

every big box store has canik and tristar garbage i thought

Nice ,I've got 3k thru mine, no issues, works great

I’m an HK fag but if I put a P226 or any Taurus on the table and said you’re life depends on it you’d grab that Sig. This poor fag bitterness is chapping my booty.

same here with a pt-24/7 g2
