Taurus Gun Porn

I am practically a spokesman for Taurus firearms.  I love their guns, and spent a lot of time at their SHOT ’08 booth acting like a silly fanboy. I own and regularly use 3 different Taurus firearms, my little Taurus family.

First is my everyday carry gun, a Taurus Tracker in .45 ACP with a 2 inch barrel. Click all pitures for fullsize.

My other Taurus revolver is another Taurus Tracker, this time in .357 Magnum and with a 4 inch barrel and 7 shot cylinder. This is a fantastic “general purpose revolver”, I’ll carry it sometimes and am planning on using it for the upcoming pin shoot.

The final (for now) Taurus in my collection is a Taurus PT92, which is basically a copy of the M9 Beretta, but with a couple of key changes. Notably, it gets rid of the accursed slide mounted safety on the Beretta 92 series, a “feature” which I’ve always hated. The safety on the PT92 is frame mounted, and allows for “cocked-and-locked” carry.  The PT92 is my “nightstand gun”, I love the 17 round magazine capacity and the familiarity I have with platform.

And here are all three of The Brothers together, one happy little family of Brazilian handgun goodness.

  1. There are many who have no love for Taurus pistols,I am not one of them. They do the job I ask and for a price I can afford. The only bad thing I can say about Taurse is their propensity to port everything now.

  2. I am one of those who have no love for Taurus. A while back I bought a Millineum in 9mm and sent it back to Taurus on 3 occasions for malfunctions becfore putting even 500 rounds through it. They probably have since worked out the bugs, and their revolvers seem to be of pretty good quality, but the past Millineum mishaps just have me too weary to give them another try.

  3. Personally, I prefer their revolvers over their auto-chuckers, although the 24/7 is a pretty cool gun.

    As to the porting, I like that my 2 inch .45 ACP snubbie is ported, it helps mitigate what would be some pretty snappy recoil otherwise.

  4. I’ve got one of the little snubbies, only mine is in 44 special. I had to put larger grips on it though, because my bottom two fingers wouldn’t fit.
