I can address these three items directly, because we agree that the perception on our QC is out there. And in the past it has been. However, as we stand right now, we inspect a significant % of guns that come in from Brazil, and if the defect rate on the samples exceeds an allowable level, we go to 100% inspections. Additionally, the guns that are made/assembled at the Georgia plant have a 100% test fire and QC rate.
Re: the price point, the reason our stuff is often so cheap is because we're one of very few companies that owns every step of our production. We forge our own barrels, make our own castings, make our own MIM, and even do our own polymer frames.
If we had to outsource as much stuff as say, Sig outsources to make a P365, then a G3c would cost 500 bucks.
Has the production quality in Brazil increased? I would like an M82 to rely on, and I like that the 1911s are series 80.
Which products are made here?
Yes to the first question, a big part of what we're doing is driving incremental QC improvements in Brazil, and have dramatically increased QC inspections of Brazil made guns here in the states.
Guns made here in the Taurus line: all the TX22 series guns, and final assembly for the GX4 line. All guns made or final assembled in the USA are test fired as well.
Took my old ‘90s model 85 CH out and did a modified version of the Old Bakersfield PD 10 round course of fire with it. It acquited itself well. I’d like to see Taurus do a “More Executive” line, that offers polished stainless and truly blued steel options.

While your at it Caleb, have bring the TCP back in a 12- 13 round, improved sights! Oh and the No view in .22, .22WMR and .32 Mag.

Not gonna lie. Between the good reports here, the P&S love over the past few months and them bringing @jetfire onboard, the 856 Executive, 4” .357 Raging Hunter and 4” .44 Tracker at a nearby shop are looking very attractive.

It’ll be a while before I jump on. There have been so many “Taurus is turning things around” posts/articles/proclamations in the years since I started following the gun world that I’m skeptical. I really do hope that they do well. The 856 executive has almost everything I’d ever want from a small carry revolver, so I want to believe. But they’re gonna have to prove it to me first.
