Talk:Taurus Armas

First Person Reference

There is usage of first person in the sentence 'However, the few Taurus guns I actually saw in those days were, indeed, of poor quality, qualifying for the derogatory label "Saturday Night Special" in the 'Products' section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lobwedge (talk • contribs) 23:21, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

Content copied

Most, if not all of this article appears to have been copied verbatim from the company website (http://www.taurususa.com/company/history.cfm). Does anyone know if Taurus USA themself might have posted this article? Just in case I deleted all the infringing material. Sbard 09:37, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

It doesn't look like Taurus had anything to do with it. The user who did start it, has contributed to several other articles, before and after this one. The user in question, 67.176.254.41 appears to be anonymous.Al Lowe 22:59, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

The best reasonable way to resolve this issue is to find other reviews (I suggest NRA's magazine only becasue it's the first one I can think of) and compare what they say to the material here. If it generally follows the same track, then it's mostly accurate; If the reviews say something else, well then that's a matter to resolve.

Good Gun Maker

A long time Smith & Wesson copier, they really hit the mark when they marketed their version of the Beretta Model 92. I bought a Taurus PT-92AFS back in 1992. I still have it, and it is one fine pistol. I recently bought their model PT-911, a medium frame 9mm semi-auto, and it too is a fine pistol. I use it for Concealed carry about 75% of the time. Since the AWB sunset, it also has a 15 round capacity magazine. Taurus is now introducing their version of the world famous model 1911 .45ACP auto-pistol. It looks to be a world beater as well. I suppose only time will tell. Al Lowe 00:02, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

InfoBox

I added an infobox to this article, but, unfortunately, I don't know / have time to find all the relevant info!

Still, looks better... Working on it.... --SXT40 12:36, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Product Stubs?

Is there a reason nobody has made stubs of the firearms like the 738? These pages being loaded with specs like dimensions and calibers make it easy to compare firearms on google. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Strickjh2005 (talk • contribs) 05:42, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

Made of Titanium?

I recently saw a History channel show on out-of-the ordinary guns. They had mentioned a South American company that made revolvers up to 99% titanium. Can Anyone verify this?

Taurus uses titanium on some of their Ultra-Light's, up until Polymer took off.Dreg102 17:52, 4 May 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dreg102 (talk • contribs)

Rossi .410/.45 revovler rifles

In refrnece to "copied content" (above), I came to see if there were any outside reviews (or just infromation) on the SCJ4510 series of .410/.45 revovler rifles, but can;t even fisd a refrence to them. (Ironically, enough, all I need to know is if they're double acion or singe, and how they open for reloading, which happens not to be mentioned in any other article either.) Why aren't tehy mentioned?

Defective pistols

There doesn't seem to be any mention of a couple of big recalls. In the US, 10,000 weapons were recalled following a lawsuit.[1] The suit mentions a recall of 98,000 police weapons in Brazil. These seem like significant events that ougha be covered in this article. Felsic2 (talk) 20:44, 25 July 2016 (UTC)
