I have been reading a LOT of things about the Taurus line of handguns...revolvers and semis...and seems like there are many people who swear these guns are little more than a paper weight. I was stunned to see how many people say these guns are junk. I don't have a whole lot of experience with them but used to own one of their revolvers in .357 (gave the .357 to my little brother for his first gun) and currently own the PT101P .40. I love this weapon and if it were not so large I would use it as a carry gun without a second thought. I would estimate that I have fired 5-6000 rounds through this weapon with not one problem. I keep it clean, as I do all my guns and take proper care of it and it has served me well. I would not hesitate to purchase another and in fact have been looking at the other Taurus semis that are the Berreta "knock offs". IMO these are a quality firearm at a more than reasonable price!

I currently own a PT24/7 PRO DS .40 and I feel the exact same way you do. As much as I can drool over the very expensive and exotic guns out there.. I tend to think that the Taurus is a great gun for the money ( and more! ). My 24/7 is dependable and easy to maintain. My next gun(s) to buy definately include a PT101 (Beretta 96 clone/knockoff).

Taurus's get a bad rap-- and that needs to stop.

Analogy-

I can't stand Ford vehicles.. ugly and underpowered to me- BUT I can acknowledge that for the most part, Fords are as dependable as most any other vehicles out there.. I'll still keep my Hemi.

I agree with you here! This is a very simple gun to maintain and has been extreamly dependable. As I said, contrary to what I have been reading I would use this for a carry gun unquestioned if it were a little smaller.

As for purchasing the PT101...strongly suggested! This gun has been 100% from the day I got it..btw I paid $275.00 for it on sale, best 275.00 I have spent in a very long time!

Where did you find a pt101 for $275? I am very interested!

I have own different Taurus's over many many years and to date have only had problems with 2 of them. Thats not bad considering over the years I might have owned a total of 20 Taurus's. I currently own a PT1911 in .38 Super and a PT92 AFS. Love them both. I have always wanted to shoot a PT 100 or 101 but for some reason never got around to it. JR

It was a display model at a local shop...they were no longer going to carry the model and all the stock was gone. Had the one in the display and I snagged it up...275.00 + bg check. Has been an awsome handgun is all I can say.

If you are such a fan of the polymers, I have three 24/7's you are welcome to buy. Two 9mm and a .45

I do like their revolvers though.
