Re: Looking for Taurus 809c (9mm) 17rd mag
Taurus makes some decent guns, especially revolvers, but the fact they insist on changing their product line every year or two probably keeps a lot of more people from buying their guns.
If they stuck to the same basic design and changed merely grip length, capacity, frame texture, sights, etc., they could probably make fewer manufacturing mistakes and be able to provide better customer service.
As it is now, people buy mostly on price, but no one wants to have a pistol that's going to be discontinued in one year; which is exactly what happens. They'll sell a gun, but what's the chance that customer will return after he's able to afford a S&W, Glock, or SigSauer?
