Can someone please tell me why everyone loves Taurus firearms?

I don’t get it. It seems everyone here loves Taurus and from my extensive experience in the military and as a police officer, I can’t find one person in my professional career who doesn’t think that they are junk. I even bought a 24/7 Pro and sold it after 2 months. I was lured into the gun because of the price range, but quickly realized that my life was worth a little more.

I am not trying to down everyone who likes Taurus, I just don’t know anyone who has to trust his life to a firearm everyday who carries one.
As for details what went wrong with my 24/7, I had a handful of misfires, the firing pin was hitting off center. The slide failed to lock back when empty on both magazines. Taurus said they would fix it, but I had to send it to them in Florida. I didn’t feel like going trought the hassle. I had the 2 tone slide and the stainless scratched way too easily. I also bought it because I thought I needed a safety like my military issued Beretta, but since my department carries Glock, I have learned to like the no safety setup better.

Is a CZ52 the best deal in surplus military firearms?

As far as handguns go. Is it necessary to replace that firing pin too?
