TA is a different type of forum...
Schlitz, I'm not picking a fight with you here. I just feel that you forcefully misrepresented a forum that I find very useful and friendly so I'm going to give folks here a different side of your encounter.
The folks there at TA are expecting a slightly higher standard of discussion from members than is acceptible here on OCDO. You dropped the F bomb on their forum. It's a privately owned forum, you know, the rated G "totally not attached to Taurus corporate" Taurus fan forum. They make their own rules. It's a forum for folks who own or have questions about Taurus or Rossi firearms.
I popped over to TA and reviewed your interchanges and found that you're you're still a member in good standing. They cleared the ban you received for posting foul language. You were pretty excited at an online gun deal gone bad and you were less than pleased with the internals of your $500 PT1911. You get what you pay for. Honestly you are one of the more frisky members here on OCDO and they just aren't geared up for that level of "posting freedom" over there.
You got accused of being a troll? Sorry. Might I point out if someone here on OCDO has a <50 post count and is negative in his language about Open Carry, some folks here might assign that same title to the offender. Same deal over there. It's just a forum, deal with it.
There is a section on Tarus complaints. And there are plenty of threads in there. Taurus isn't perfect. Oddly, customer service obviously gets the job done though. Most of those "complaint" threads end the same way with some guy happily blazing away at the range with his repaired handgun.
Don't like Taurus? Fine, don't buy one. I have two that I love and I trust them both with my life daily. All for under $900. And with four kids, money is important. So, when I was buying a handgun, choosing between a $500 .45ACP (not a 1911 BTW) or a coolio name brand 1911 from some well known and much loved manufacturer for $1,500?.. Not a hard choice for me.
Taurus PT-945SS. Great gun that goes bang every time...
The OP had questions and I gave him a great source, though not the only source, for info on Taurus firearms.
I hope I helped you SigGuy23.
