I don't know but for $400 (I would see if they could come off the price a little bit), I would take a chance on that Taurus. I like the idea of pairing it up with my Ruger Blackhawk Flattop, also a .44 Special.

Pat Riot I wish I had bought more of them but money was tight back then. Blackie Collins designed them and S&W made them; first class all around!

My Shield Plus night sights work fine; the gun is a couple years old.

My favorite .357 All Steel Revolver:

bihj You know that was the exact same thing I thought of when I picked up an M92 for the first time: like I was holding onto the barrel of a baseball bat.

357smallbore If it's really from the1980s, and you decide to get it, look it over very carefully. Colt had a lot of labor problems back then and a lot of stuff went out the door that could have been made better and finished a whole lot nicer too.

Ironicaintit It's funny about those Pachmayr grips for the Hi-Power in that I used the full set, including me not cutting out the front grip strap (something I always did with my 1911s as I felt they made the grip feel it was too wide) and using the separate back strap piece as well. Those...

Ironicaintit As soon as I got home and before I even took the gun out of the box, I went to the nearest gun store and bought me a set of Pachmayrs for it!

HarryB Glad to have been of some assistance in this matter.

HarryB I know what you mean; once you've picked one up it's hard to put it back down! Enjoy your new found Beretta!

The old Pachmayr grips still feel great in my hand. I got the Hogue grips for Christmas one year. Very nice, especially when I want to play Dress-Up with my Hi-Power.

Colt Detective Special versus Ramen Noodles, no contest...the Colt wins every time! Congrats on a marvelous acquisition!

I'm really diggin' the two-tone look! Very cool!

Not a P09 mainly because I felt the longer grip frame was just a little bit too long and awkward for my smaller size hand. Found the P07 much more to my liking. I did change out the decocker for the frame mounted manual safety. Works fine and I like how solid and substantial the gun is.
