as a good gun to have a lifetime warranty on.

i owned a Tracker revolver and it lasted about 3 months before the cylinder got out of synch. I had to send it back 3 times before it was right and then I traded it in for a Ruger Mk III.

I own a Beretta 92 and have shot the Taurus clone. the Beretta is a nice tight well finished pistol, the Taurus, OTOH, is sloppy and loose fitting. It rattles when you shake it (and Taurus claims it is made on the same equipment that the Beretta was before Beretta moved their manufacturing out of Brazil).
