The Future

Receiving the Manufacturer of the Year award from the Shooting Industry Academy of Excellence provides Taurus with added motivation, according to Morrison.

"We're so proud of the awards we have received," Morrison said. "Once you're at the apex, it's challenging to stay there. We continue to bring out new products we believe are good candidates for awards."

Taurus will continue its "unwavering support of the industry and Constitutional freedoms," according to Morrison.

"This company is committed to fighting against those who would take our rights away, to fighting senseless city lawsuits and fighting to keep our freedom alive.

"Yes, the academy's awards do motivate us. There are so many good companies in this industry. We know we're fortunate to be recognized as the best."
