Received one in the 80's as a christmas gift from my threee sons.
Still have but now used as a nightstand gun.Mine has a satin nickle finish and is a handsome piece. As it was a gift I'll never part with it.
Mine would keyhole lead bullets after the first few shots, tried every load varation there was with every hard cast lead bullet I could find. Sent it back to Tarus and they returned it with a new barrel, still keyholed. As the majority of my shooting is with lead bullets I gave up and now only shoot it a couple of times a year with the hollow point jacketed loads it is kept loaded with. Shoots just fine with those bullets.
