Very aggravated with Taurus PT 1911. I bought this gun brand new and right off the bat it only fire two times ago in the half cock mode.the people I bought it from is about an hour’s drive for me so I took it back up there our there an hour back.when I got home and look at the gun out of the box I noticed some of the bluing had been shipped away on the gun. Several people said it appeared that it has been put in a vice.I contacted the seller of the gun store that I bought… Read more »

The Taurus Company would be a joke if they didn’t have customers money. It is not funny to send in a firearm for repair, only to get it back damaged way worse than when it was sent in. I have a steel framed revolver sent in for repair at this time to Heritage, which is owned by Taurus. I was told it could not be repaired, and there is no time frame as to when i will get a pistol back. I am going to file a claim with the Better Business Bureau, this is un acceptable. I also have… Read more »

I bought a Taurus spectrum for my wife for Christmas, nothing fancy basic black. She loved it. I liked it so much I decided to get one for myself. I went to Sportsman’s Wearhouse here in Coon Rapids Minnesota, the gun was on sale so I bought it. Tried to shoot it had problems feeding and stovepipes. I took the pistol apart to see if I could determine the problem. After comparing my wife’s pistol with mine I noticed my recoil spring was about three quarters of an inch longer than the one in her gun. The spring was almost… Read more »

I have a similar problem with the Taurus Spectrum. What a POS. IT never fed from day 1, always jammed. I sen tit back for repair, after 3 months they returned it “repaired” with a recoil spring that was too long, and I still don’t have the correct spring. I will never buy a Taurus again. I think it might be time for a class action lawsuit for all Spectrum owners, since Taurus refuses to refund the cost.

My God, therefore, the stock can not keep the price FJTA4 and FJTA3, if the company has no commitment with customers, nobody buys and with that, it only has financial losses like here in Brazil! How can there be an administration of these in the middle of the 21st century?

this is a joke as far as customer service goes with this company….. there cs is worse than using pine straw as toilet paper they do not care about there customers and are in serious need of an overhaul … no one there knows what in the hell is going on and don’t know who to ask to find out… it is more disorganized than an room fill of four year olds.
seriously people by a high standard before you by a tuarus…. atleast then you can use it a a boat anchor….

I wish I would have read this BEFORE I bought my gun! I purchased my Heritage Rough Rider 22 mag. 9 shot made by Taurus on 11/29/17. I didn’t get to shoot it till Feb of 2018. The first shot I got so much blow back that I was beyond happy that I had on safety gear! Then the next couple of shots was just as bad. I called the company and they said THEY DO NOT GIVE REFUNDS and that I would have to mail it to them to be repaired. They received my gun on 2/7/18. Then I… Read more »

Worst company I have ever dealt with have been waiting since Oct 2016 to get my replacement gun after buying a completely defective M92 only to get the item back from their gunsmith still defective. They still have my gun. Was told to write letter to David Blinker and all they did was push it back to the same supervisor who has been telling me for year and half sorry we have no Guns. Tell me how can a gun company have no guns!!!! Look at their Facebook and product reviews. Buyer beware. Mr Blenker feel free to contact me… Read more »

Anyone who would purchase a firearm from this company is a fool. They do not answer their phone,back up there product or appreciate the firearm consumer. Their customer service line is a joke. They could care less about their product or their customers. If you want protection buy a baseball bat before buying anything from them.

I sent my tauras 380 in because it jammed from day one . I was told to expect a four to six week turn around its now been 8 weeks and still no return. Your call center had me on hold for 120 minutes on my cell and 45 minutes on my lan line. I filled out the chat line info several times over the past couple weeks with zero responses. I’ve also called several times and just gave up trying to reach anyone. I finally reach a call center individual and was told you were backed up and I… Read more »

When will the Taurus spectrum be for sale, my gun shop has them on order but no projected date. I called Taurus in June and they said guns would be on retailers shelves by the July. Still no spectrum and it’s almost november.

The Taurus Curve seems to be as imaginary as the Unicorn. We hear a lot about it but it’s never seen.
