Rant, last two NEW guns, FAIL.

[Tncobra]

About six months ago I picked up a Thompson Hotshot 22. After a box of ammo through it, it starts to fail. Every other round has no strike mark. To their credit Smith&Wesson replaced the rifle with a new one. It took 3 months, but that part I'll live with. The new one shoots flawless, so far.

Two months ago I bought the all new 992 Taurus convertible, 22/22mag revolver. Today I took it to the range and I can't pull the trigger with two fingers. Can't even cock the hammer back. Swing open the cylinder, shut it, it fires a couple of rounds and quits again. This is the first Taurus I've owned,maybe my last. We'll see how customer service goes.

Sorry, I'm just in a pissy mood over this. Who's making this stuff and wheres quality control at?

i have never had a problem with taurus, my dad did once about 15 years ago or so and the gun was repair free and has yet to have a problem with them since. i guess i shoot about 700 rds per gun per year though my two guns, he shoots much less, about 1-200 rounds a year

on a side note i had a colt single action army 3 years ago that i could not pull the hammer back more than half cock after shooting 4 rounds and we all know colt is junk.........

Ckech the safety lock to make sure it is disengaged all the way.

I have and like my Taurus 24/7. I have over 1,500 trouble free rounds through it so far and clocking more every week.

I've sent more Taurus' back than any other manufacturer I've sold.

I just wish I had the money to buy two new guns in a six month period! (Even if they are just .22's)
