10mm Taurus TH10 Review

[@D-A-1776]

I'll never rely on taurus. I've had 2 and both unreliable. Damn sure not trusting one while I'm in bear country.

[@AlaskanBallistics]

Amen

[@chrisb9478]

Yep, in bear country I’ll only carry my Gen4 Glock 20! 😁

[@D-A-1776]

@chrisb9478 . I carry different guns different days, I'll carry my g20 sometimes or my xdm elite 10mm or my ruger 454 casull or sometimes my colt delta elite sometimes my sig x10. We don't have grizzly here just black bear. I've had to many taurus failures. Not only me but alot of people I know who had multiple problems with taurus guns.

[@jamesharris4432]

If you’re in Bear country, you better have something bigger than a 40 caliber you better have a 44 mag or a 500

[@AlaskanBallistics]

@jamesharris4432 40 diameter 10mm has proven it over and over again.

[@alaskatruoutdoors9238]

G3 and two G2C’s. Thousands of rounds. Most reliable handguns I’ve owned in 30 years of shooting. Triggers aren’t awesome in the G2C’s but I got them for $179 each.

[@D-A-1776]

Most reliable handguns you've owned? Must not have owned to many. Glad they worked for you mine were horrible

[@mcb2757]

trash

[@alaskatruoutdoors9238]

I own probably a dozen of all the big (and expensive) brands. I've owned and sold many, many more over the years. I hand load for everything, and do nearly all of my own gunsmithing. Not exactly a newb. I used to turn my nose up at Taurus, because they were garbage. The three I have now run perfectly, equal to my glocks and better than any of the assorted Rugers, Smiths and others in my arsenal. Sorry yours was a dud.

[@D-A-1776]

@alaskatruoutdoors9238 . That's good to hear, glad they're working good for you. The ones I had just wasn't reliable so it's hard for me to trust them. I've heard other people who love the g3 and the gx4 I thought about trying the gx4 for a backup gun or truck gun.

[@AlaskanBallistics]

@alaskatruoutdoors9238 hope yours continue to serve you well.

[@bustabass9025]

My experience with Taurus has been quite the opposite. I own three Judges and a G3c. All have performed flawlessly.

My Raging Judge Magnum is definitely not trash.

That is one of their better guns. I'd still never own Taurus. Especially a revolver. Seen too many cylinders that wouldn't lock, and cylinder advancement springs break.

[@vacomotorcycle4242]

Hi, I am from Brazil , It is a new product from Taurus and you show that’s needs some adjusting LOL, the TS9, TX22, PT92 and GX4 are good guns from Taurus , you could check it ! Thank you for the video !!

[@superdavekc5vmq]

I have two Taurus revolvers, and they are perfect and accurate

[@AlaskanBallistics]

Better count yourself lucky as I've seen their revolvers as trash too.

[@jasonbry07]

I got a G3, Raging Judge .454, and what do we know, a TH10. Got the TH10 about six weeks ago and brought it to the range 3 times, fired 100, 50, and 250 rounds respectfully. The the second time, the mag release button kept hitting it from the recoil. A guy shaved it on the inside and a small shave on the outside. The third time at the range, it fixed for me. It has been great to me. All of the Taurus gus have.

[@AlaskanBallistics]

Fire any heavy bear rounds yet through it?

[@jeffconnolly1641]

Proud owner of the Taurus TH10, and it has performed flawless for me, as well as my TH45, G3C, Model 66 (old school revolver in .357 magnum)

[@AlaskanBallistics]

Hope they don't break on you in a firefight.

[@vikramgupta2326]

I got a TH45 and first 100 rounds it functioned fine. The next 100 to 200, multiple failures to feed. Same ammo. Cleaned between each trip. Any suggestions?

[@AlaskanBallistics]

Sell and get a glock

[@doctorschoolgraduate5444]

I got plenty of taurus revolver that ain't trash. Never had an issue, over 500+ rounds on most.

[@AlaskanBallistics]

Good luck and I hope they continue to serve you well.

[@Mykaelous]

Sounds like you are still in the break in period. Mine “works” but it feels very sloppy compared to an S&W. I had some trigger work done and it’s better but still sloppy.

[@AlaskanBallistics]

@Mykaelous handguns shouldn't need a break in period... mags falling out is a mechanical problem not a break in.

[@diogenio]

@@AlaskanBallistics sure, no break in needed. That is why EVERY manufacturer's semi-autos, regardless of brand or price, can be seen failing on multiple KZbin videos until they get a few hundred rounds through. To simulate break-in (which is just a relaxing of the new springs) pull the slide back and let it sit for a week. Same goes for magazines...load them, let em sit. Springs relax, feed problems go away.

[@AlaskanBallistics]

@diogenio don't need a break in on a glock, FN or xdm. Your just a poor Taurus owner trying to justify your bad choices...

[@richardespinoza6243]

Taurus has improved a lot over the years. They have great customer service.

[@AlaskanBallistics]

Ha... if this is their improvement, I'll pass... they better have good customer service, you're going to need it with their crappy guns. Even within the last few years I've seen and sent so many of their guns back, before the customer even touched them. Lot of good customer service did for you when the bear is charging you.

[@slotcarfan]

About 250 RDS in my TH10. Combination of Aguila 180gr and handloaded 180gr XTP and 155gr flat nose Berrys. Have had 2 failure to feed jams with hollow points, always on the last round in the magazine. It is a very accurate gun. Mine is only a range toy so very happy. Only paid $370.

[@AlaskanBallistics]

Sounds like you're having fun with. Godspeed and good hunting.

[@Lionofjudah308]

I have few Taurus firearms and have never had an issue. With that said I did purchase the TH10 and guess what? Damn mag kept falling out pissed me off! So only having it a few days trying to figure out the issue I decided to send it off to Taurus and they have now had it for over 9 weeks and still trying to fix the issue. 😡 Other than that the gun ran great. Hopefully they can fix it.

[@AlaskanBallistics]

I hope it runs well for you when it gets back. Hopefully you don't need it in bear country

[@PabloSniper]

Hello Alaskan, well I live here in Brazil. So basically we only have Taurus as an alternative. After all, imported weapons arrive here at very high prices, and only a small percentage of the population has access to them. I'm not offended that you think Taurus is trash, but I'd like to argue. The TH10 is a new model, and it certainly still has some adjustments to make it acceptable. But on other KZbin channels it performed well with the standard load up to 200 grains. And in fact, it has already failed with loads of 220 grains, as in the LWRoad channel. But remember that there are other models that have not failed. The G3, for example, has examples with more than 25 thousand shots without failures or breaks. I think using a product launch as a basis to criticize an entire brand is not cool. Remember that many families depend on the income they earn from this company. Both here in Brazil, in the USA and now in the new factory in India too.

[@AlaskanBallistics]

Appreciate your opinion, but I've seen every model of Taurus fail. Companies shouldn't beta-test on their customers. They should make them ready to go from the start. To be fair, sig and now Smith and Wesson do this too. Thanks for watching and your comment. Godspeed and good hunting to you and yours.

[@JD-tn5lz]

I can appreciate that there are folks who depend upon a job to earn a living, but remember, we don't have your perspective and we have choices in the USA. Also, this particular firearm is a 10mm, which up here in Alaska is the preferred semi-automatic sidearm caliber for brown bear (grizzly) protection. There are NO second chances in a bear encounter. Yes, I've been there. That Taurus claims to have out 25k through any of their products tells me that either they're liars, designed a test for success, or changed their rules as to what they call successful. It's very telling that Taurus does not even try to compete in the very lucrative US law enforcement market.

[@AlaskanBallistics]

Very true. You can get a better truck from Ford instead of Toyota, but in general it's better chances the other way.

[@DamnManSam]

Nah, but Sig usually messes up on their first gen guns, once they fix an issue the fix the issue. Taurus guns (even the GX4) have a bunch of issues that keep appearing on new production guns years after launch. They just have questionable build quality, and equally questionable QC.

[@donlord794]

@@AlaskanBallistics S&W really let me down on their 10mm. I wanted to like it more than the Glock. Then again Glock has had quite a few more years to perfect the G20. I'll stick with known reliability and track record. I guess it really is Glock perfection..

Well, after a few rounds,it seems it got better. I would not judge it be a few issues on the first rounds, especially considering some shooter-error things.

[@AlaskanBallistics]

I've seen too many other problems with Taurus to ever carry this in bear country

[@AlaskanBallistics]

@neavo8421 then you've failed to research how effective 10mm has been in bear defense situations. Probably like you failed to research buying a Taurus piece of scrap

[@ik04]

I had the same experience reassembling the slide. I returned it to Taurus with a feeding issue. We'll see how it goes...

[@AlaskanBallistics]

Best of Luck

[@miloinaz]

Looks to me like an operator error. Hit the mag release, and Iimprist on the jam.

[@AlaskanBallistics]

Nope.. didn't happen...

[@xtphreak]

​@@AlaskanBallistics Yeah but in the slow-motion sequence, you didn't completely release the trigger until the last few shots. I suspect you are too used to striker pistols. I'd say the failure to reset twice is operator error. You even alluded to the possibility of it. The mag drop could easily be unfamiliarity (operator error). I've got a H&K USPC 40 that gives me issues sometimes, so it ain't always the brand name. It's obvious you're suffering from TDS (Taurus Derangement Syndrome). Maybe you'll grow out of it, maybe not. Good luck with that. I have 2 PT1911's in .45ACP, wish Taurus had a 10mm 1911 because then I wouldn't be watching/reading all these reviews.

[@AlaskanBallistics]

@xtphreak I won't buy a trash Taurus to grow out of it. I've got and had double/ single action hammer fired guns that don't do that... Taurus is trash and you deserve the Darwin Award you get when the thing breaks during a firefight.

[@joew5792]

@AlaskanBallistics I have 22 and 24 lb springs, I doubled the stock spring in one mag and it actually worked pretty good but holds 14, wolf springs in the rest of them. I just started handloading 200gr 22brh with 7.6gr of Longshot. They are at about 1250 in the g20s and 1300 in the g40. Plenty fast and they cycle all the time with no smileys

[@joew5792]

@AlaskanBallistics also I chronoed the 140 extreme penetrator I had out of my 6.5kkm and they were at 1725fps so maybe underwood just sent me a super hot batch

[@buddysumner4022]

I’d say something got bent or knocked out of wack when you first said you couldn’t get it back together, I’m just saying maybe you could have bent something trying to force the slide back, I bought a s&w 915 20 years ago took it apart to clean it and could not get it back together and bent something in it and I finally got it back together and it started miss firing and the mag would drop out , took it to gun shop and they fixed it, I can’t remember what I bent on it

The Taurus TX-22 I had didn’t run for crap, and that’s the one everyone says is their best…. But after 500 rounds out of it…. It all of a sudden became flawless and ran like a sewing machine without one single issue after that. Have also had a Sig 220 that was GARBAGE until over 1,200 rounds went through it. Then she opened up and ran 100% ever since. Not saying Taurus is on par with Sig or H&K or Glock or anything like that…. Just saying sometimes, especially in cold cold weather… they may need to be run a bit first.

It's scary to see Sig and S&W beta testing with the public.

Be wary of that. Unless you go with a Dan Wesson or a recent Colt Delta. Most (think Tisas, Girsan, Fusion, Kimber, Springfield) use many of the same parts on their 10mm 1911s as they do their .45s.

[@DamnManSam]

Just replied to another dude. The GX4 has trigger, firing pin, and extractor issues since launch. Taurus hasn’t fixed those problems in their line. Other companies tend to fix issues once they identify what the problem is.

[@DT-ww4gv]

I have a colt, Springfield and remington that are jam-o-matics. I have seven tuarus's that all run great. I just watched a video yesterday on the very same Taurus and it ran great. I definitely wouldn't just right off colt, Springfield or remington just because I got lemons. Because I have several other that run 100%.

[@AlaskanBallistics]

Good for you. Working behind the gun counter, Taurus break in disproportionate numbers. I'll never own one. It's not a "one gun and write them off thing"... it's the continuation of a trend.

[@petermccuskey1832]

Should never ever pull the trigger when the slide is off. The hammer hits the frame and can cause a lot of damage. Send it back to the company and I am sure they will take care of it. Owning a bunch of 10 mm weapons it pays to practice with them for the problems you were having. I own Taurus, Smith$ Wesson, Glock and 1911 designs. They all have had their little problems and have got them all in great shooting shape.

[@AlaskanBallistics]

Appreciate your opinion. A clean gun should fire fine from the box. Godspeed and good hunting to you and yours my friend.

[@CloyceSpears]

I have 8 different Taurus firearms and they all run fine with no failures of any kind. And no I'm not going to go buy any lotto tickets. I have a TH9 and it's been perfect from day one as all of my Taurus have been except one revolver that the feed throat had not been done, they sent me a brand new one in 4 weeks and runs flawless.

[@AlaskanBallistics]

​@claytidwell Nah, Chuck has been slinging .45 Sup and 10mm Auto for about 5 years now. His buddy Chuke is the one with the habitually bad grip. Here, he had problems with 3 out of 5 mags, no matter how he held the thing. Notice that he had no failure on the 5th mag, when he held it the loosest of all, left-handed. The problem is the gun, and not the shooter.

Runs the weaker SAMMI stuff just fine. The new full case support rifled bbl is match quality when it's not jamming w the bear loads. From my research I've found the spring to be weak. Got a new stronger one coming. Also got the TH10. Same mag dropout probs even after I ground the off side completely flush. It handles the hot bear loads just fine except it always jams on the last round. I worked the mag release button a few days & it finally smoothed out w a drop of oil added. In the instructions it says to NOT use +P+ ammo in it. I have no idea where Underwood & B.B. fit into that category but it runs them just fine. It's spring is built way better/ stronger than the G20s is. Wish I'd gotten the long slide instead. From what I've researched they run flawlessly w the hot bear loads. Will keep you posted when the new, 20-28 lb springs arrives. Some outfit out of Israel. It's spring has 8 adjustments. From what I've researched the G20, gen 5s spring is only around 13 lbs. NOT enough for bear loads. Have seen 3 blow outs w stock bbls & 1 slide cracked but the stronger 22-24 lb springs & KKM bbl replacements fixed that on the gen 4s.

I've owned three Taurus's in my lifetime. All still work, flawlessly. NEVER had an issue. I have a Taurus PT92 baught in 1993, and a Taurus GX2 and my latest TX22. ALL Flawless.. As for your 15+1, yes, that gun IS a 15+1, and it's perfectly normal for the magazine release to be tighter when full. My S&W, SIG and Glocks do the same. Also, it's pretty common for any brand to have some minor hickups until broken in, (500 rds or more). The fact that you expressed you "hate" Taurus, doesn't make it a bad firearm. I am unimpressed with your so called review. OH, and I did notice, you have a very bad limp wrist issue. You need to work on your holds. I am not trying to be an ass, just calling it like I see it.

[@AlaskanBallistics]

@diogenio nope. And I've had some of them fail. Literally almost every Taurus I've ever touched is junk. I've seen frames crack, and cylinder advancement springs break right out of the box. When a security company came in to qualify 100 guards all over Atlanta into our indoor range, the 4" Taurus 85s that they used only 85 of them would work. Working behind the cabelas gun counter, I sent 7 Taurus Judges and 1 Taurus tracker 44magnum back because you could close the cylinder and just keep spinning it! At the Atlanta range, our Taurus rental guns got sent back 6 times in 2 years. Taurus is a trash brand and you deserve the Darwin Award you get if you take one into a firefight. Sure other brands fail. And I've demonstrated that. But most other better brands are better than 85%, usually 99.9%You wouldn't jump out of an airplane with a parachute that only opens 8.5 out of 10 times. Don't be a poor snowflake.

So you short stroked a trigger twice on an unfamiliar gun, possibly dropped the mag due to your Own admission, then get One misfeed from a hollow point on a new gun and it’s trash???????? Oh and your failure to understand the disassembling/reassembly procedures. Other than your operational shortcomings it’s a Tack driver. Maybe take it out for 300-500 rounds, get familiar with it the reevaluate before you Trash it. Operator errors are not malfunctions. As anyone knows that’s been in the firearms business, certain guns will handle different hollow points reliably as others will not.
