The 85 arrived last week and out of the box, the hammer would not drop when cocked in SA. Did get it to release with a couple of minutes of frigging with it. Could not get it to repeat this, but given Taurus rep on lock-work, I didnt take transfer. Where there is smoke... there is usually fire, and if it does it once, it will likely repeat. This is important as once transfer is taken, it is up to the consumer to deal with Taurus Customer Service, an experience I would like to avoid. Buds was great about taking the gun back and had a replacement here in five days. The second revolver is fine.
Buds CS was super, and their satisfaction policy saved me a pile of hassle. I still feel that Taurus makes a great gun for the money, and that their quality has improved from a couple of years back, but apparently there is still some work to do. Buying from Buds gives the consumer an extra layer of insurance should you be unlucky with the handgun you get.
Buds gets a Five, Taurus gets a Three. The product is supposed to work every time.
