steve1 5 #1 November 13, 2007 I bought a couple Taurus pistols this year. Just wondering what you thought of that manufacturer. I know there are more expensive handguns out there, but for the price they seem like a bargain. The last one I bought for my daughter. It is a small framed revolver, ultralight model, in 38 special. I paid $309. for it, new. The other one I bought for myself. It is a smaller 22 revolver, with about a four inch barrel. I think it was around $340. new. Both are in mat-stainless finish. Both function flawlessly and have nice triggers. The accuracy with the 22 is great. We haven't fired the 38 yet. We just bought it a couple days ago. My other daughter has a similiar small framed, Rossi (stainless) pistol in 38 special and a short barrel. I've never been too keen on short barrels, but it shoots great. I looked at another manufacturer from South America...Their pistols did not seem to be milled to very close tollerances. The trigger felt gritty. Rossi was like that when they first started manufacturing, but their quality today is much improved. I do like the Taurus and Rossi revolvers....

mnealtx 0 #2 November 13, 2007 Nothing wrong with Taurus, I've owned a few. They've had some growing pains through the years with concurrent quality issues, but I wouldn't have any problems depending on one for SD. Congrats on the new toys!Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim.

A friend of mines father gave him a 45. I had it for awhile. You pulled the trigger and it was full auto. Don't if it was modified or wear and tear but I loved it.I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.

craddock 0 #4 November 13, 2007 I am a big fan of their Tracker in 17HMR. Their autoloaders don't do much for me but I have no reason to believe they are of bad quality That spot isn't bad at all, the winds were strong and that was the issue! It was just on the downwind side. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
