With a Taurus, you'll only get 1 shot throwing the darn thing during a home defense situation.

Go check gunbroker.com. I would take a pre lock 1980s or earlier Smith and Wesson over anything new they make today. Only the current performance center stuff is equal or better than older S&W. I am not a fan of Taurus, but I know plenty of folks who are.

There's no durability or longevity in a Taurus revolver. Stick with a Smith, and I would go pre-lock myself, but it's nothing to remove the lock from a newer one.

I believe that Taurus suffers from an image problem that they deservedly acquired several years ago. I also believe that image is largely undeserved nowadays.

I keep a 605 .357 as a hd firearm and have fired now over 400 rounds of .38 and .357's without an issue. The gun is as tight and problem free as the day I bought it and find solace in their transferable lifetime warranty.

That being said... a Taurus is not a S&W.

My Taurus 605 is very nice, sweet revolver, machine work is actually nicer than my Smith and Wesson 686..

 

That taurus you have listed is a good looking gun, not sure i would want a lite 44 mag?

here's some for laughs

 

 

riddle: Why is a Taurus pistol like Herpes?

Once you've got it, you can never get rid of it!

From all the stuff you see about Taurus online, you'd think that the parts are machined by quadriplegic monkies in zero G. I've fired a 608 before and it was pretty sweet. If I had to base my opinion on just that one experience, I'd say they make solid stuff. That said, a Ruger or S&W will more than likely be better quality, as the others have said.

I like this one better.

When you pick up a ruger or s&w, you'll go "yes!" as you drive off.

When you pick up a taurus, you'll toss it in the trunk & go "oh well, wonder what's for dinner."

Give Osage a call for the Smith. Talk to Chris. See if he can work you some better numbers off the auction and have it sent to your Jersey FFL.

go with this one, the one tony357 posted. lightweight and 44magnum should not be used in the same sentence.

Who is Osage?

 

Osage County Guns. They're the ones running the auction jamesbod linked and their contact information can be found on the auction or with a quick google. Done much business with them. Chris is a good guy.

People say Taurus make junk revoloves but I read plenty of stories with the newer Smith and Wesson revolvers having lots of quality issues. Ruger all the way.

Don't throw your life....I mean permit AWAY

I don't own one, but I've fired several boxes through a 4" Ported Tracker 44M. No complaints whatsoever. Very comfortable to shoot and never had an issue. [Fill in the forum] snobs crack me up.

 

I like Ruger myself. I would also try to dig up a pre-lock S&W versus a new one.

We're talking about meat & potatos revolvers here, dude.

Not Sigs or HKs.

 

Taurus is like a fat chick. You like to use her at the range but don't want to take her home

LOL!

Hear about...

A taurus is like a cheap condom.

You can never trust it 100% for protection!

 

Why doesn't anyone open carry a taurus?

Cause the taurus repair center is just too heavy & big to conceal....

Thanks Mr. Bod, I purchased it at the link you provided at factory list...Don't give a dam, not worth surching around, redoing permits, bugging neighbors for a reference for 100/100 bucks...Hum, now I just need to locate an HK USP 45 (30 days from now) and my collection is complete :-).

Nice choice. I love those new grips on the N frames. Will probably get the same grips myself.

Sorry. I don't know much about HKs but there's a few HK fanboys here who can offer tons of advice.

jamesbod, what is wrong with you? Damn dude, did you get rapped by a taurus gun or something? enough already, we got it. You don't like Taurii

To each his own, but a Taurus 66 is a very nice gun. Yes, just as with S&W, etc. there is a chance of getting a dud from the factory. But there is a lifetime warranty, etc. When Taurus first started making revolvers, they did not use very good metal... 60s, 70s... etc. But, just before the advent of the Glock, Taurus was aiming for the police market and they improved quality, its just that timing wasn't right for them. In order to do that, Taurus was making some nice guns. Does a Taurus have a trigger like a Smith, NO, but it is half the price. But it will handle .357s just as good as a Smith. Ruger might have the upper hand in durability, though. There are many Taurus guns. I don't like the new ones with those safety locks, etc. but they might not be a bad idea with children in the household.

 

There is a place for Taurus in the gun industry, especially for wheel gunners on a budget.
