While out and about, running my trap line this morning, I took some time out and fired several more magazines of 9mm through my Taurus, and in the process, I passed the 700 round mark without a single FTF or FTE. Never had another pistol that ran through that many rounds, of 10 or 12 different varieties of ammo, without a failure. I'm beginning to think that Taurus finally got their stuff all wired up tightly with this particular pistol. I'm going to keep pushing it, but not at the rate I have been, because it really is performing well for me, and I'm going broke trying to break it.

Nice! I've run about 600 through my M&P 9 and its been flawless so far.

Thanks for the update. Maybe Taurus could send some ammo for your efforts. I like my Taurus, not the Millennium.

Not a chance, Dalee7892! No "pay for play" for this old guy. I wouldn't accept anything that might cause me to give Taurus (or any other manufacturer) "a break." This was/is my little project that I'm doing on my own nickel. Maybe I'd better quit whimpering about the cost!

hope it keeps going for you, I haven't had a bad Taurus yet.
