Personally I'd put Taurus above S&W in revolver quality/QC if we are using a tier status.
The newer Taurus revolver triggers feel like something from the S&W performance shop.
Taurus has not gone through their production process trying to figure out how they can cut costs like S&W has. Look at the new S&W revolvers...closely. Notice that the ejector fingers are differrent lengths? This is so they can cut it from a square piece of steel.. trying to reduce scrap and decrease production time. With ejector fingers of differrent lengths the long fingers are more likely to bend because of unequal pressure on the spent/stuck cartridges. If they bend you firearm is immediately non-functioning as the cylinder wont do back in the frame.
... should I go on??
