J Miller,
Yes there is a lot of junk out there these days. I just bought a pre-crossbolt safety Marlin, and this is one of the reasons why.
I noticed that you mentioned the Taurus key safety. I have a .357 Titanium. Problem has been solved as I have already lost the key. So it will never be turned on! I may consider putting some locktite in it so it won't move. I also noticed that it is not a true key with tumblers, it appears to be just a tamper-resistant Torx screw. Some lock, huh?
Well, anyway, sometimes a feller's just got to say what he thinks. As long as you're not attacking other people on the forum I am interested in hearing what you have to say.
Any reason you don't like New Model Rugers? I have several and like not having the worry about keeping an empty chamber under the hammer, mainly when introducing new shooters. They have enough to think about already. Also if I cock the hammer in the field and don't shoot, don't have to monkey around with lining everything up when I let it back down. They do have their faults, though.
They're not the best finished gun in the world, but as Marshall says, Ruger makes one heck of a do-it-yourself handgun!
