To echo the sentiment of many before me. Revolvers are typically good to go. I have had a couple Model 85's and they were great. I have shot a couple of my buddies Taurus revolvers and they are solid. One of my first handguns was a Taurus PT99 that I shot the snot out of and it never missed a beat. My wife has a PT709 9mm that has performed well, despite the trigger. I have had positive experiences with Taurus products, but have admittedly stayed away from the common problem guns like the TCP and many of the PT series pistols.
