Nothing wrong with Savage or Beretta.
4,000 rounds is a lot? Must be why you're a Taurus fan. 4k is a break in.

I have a spare barrel sitting in my gun cabinet for it when the original is toast.

Don't worry, it will be broken before that ever happens. Or, better yet, you will sell it and move onto something better.

I have never broke a part on a Taurus. Never had a failure to fire on either Taurus or Savage. I can't say that for Remington or any of the other companies out there you haters are so fond of. </div></div>
Your experience is not typical. I have not seen any manufacturer with the kind of shitty quality control that Taurus has. I have never owned a Remington rifle.

I have plenty of 700's and none of them shoot any better than 1/4 moa. but most of my Savage's shoot 1/4 moa. So call them what you want but you haters are lost. If you have owned a Taurus and have a gripe thats fine but unless you can tell me your personal problem/experience with Taurus its just hating. I have no problem with the maker who supplied Baretta parts for years.

Possessives are not plurals, and plurals are not possessives. Please learn the difference.
The shitty quality of the Taurus guns, especially the PT1911, is well documented. Just look at the front strap. It's not even properly radiused and holding onto it is like holding onto a 2x4. The only reason you could possibly think that piece of junk is decent is if you just don't know any better.

I haven't done anything of the sort and if you search back far enough, I have advised against new shooters buying custom rifles. Apparently all that matters to you is on the target, quality, ergonomics, and durability are meaningless, and so it's probably better for you to buy a cheaper gun.

Buy a $3k pistol too if you want. I won't call you stupid or elitist or any other derogatory name.</div></div>
A $3000 gun is not necessary. In fact, the STI Spartan is in the same price range or cheaper than the Taurus and is FAR superior in quality. I'll put mine up against any Taurus, anytime...especially in 9mm!

I think an STI is a fine weapon and that Savage statement is not for you either. I own several savages and I am just as happy out shooting a rem700 as I am an ass clown that can't hit the side of a barn with his factory Wby that he just paid to much money for.
I won't hate on your arms choices. The opinion here started on a Rock though and thats were I am leaving off. You will have no problems with your Taurus man and if you do they will bend over backwards to make you happy.</div></div>
Let's see: I can have an STI Spartan with a nice fit and finish or a Taurus that looks like shit, has a gritty trigger, and is out of spec in every imaginable way for the same price. Guess which one I'm picking?
