Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key new firearm releases from Taurus at Shot Show 2023?

Taurus introduced several new models at Shot Show 2023, including the Taurus Hunt brand featuring the Raging Hunter in .500 S&W Magnum, a 10-inch .460 S&W Magnum Raging Hunter with a compensator, the Executive Grade Judge with an improved trigger and .45 Colt performance, and optics-ready versions of the 856 and 605 Defender revolvers. The TX22 Compact pistol was also highlighted.

How has Taurus improved its firearms and customer service?

Taurus has focused on incorporating customer feedback and hiring industry professionals, leading to improved product quality. Their customer service has also seen significant gains, with an average repair turnaround time under 48 hours and a low return rate for newer firearm models, indicating enhanced reliability.

What makes the new Taurus optics-ready revolvers unique?

Taurus's optics-ready revolvers are unique because they are engineered by directly drilling the frame. This method allows for a very low bore axis, as the optic plate interfaces with the rear sight notch, minimizing the height over bore compared to aftermarket solutions.

What is the performance of the new Executive Grade Judge?

The Executive Grade Judge features a significantly improved double-action trigger pull, considered top-tier for factory revolvers. It also demonstrates excellent performance with .45 Colt ammunition, in addition to its .410 capability, with modern .410 loads like Hornady's Critical Defense performing effectively.
