    Is Taurus a Good Brand for Revolvers

    The main reasons I own some taurus revolvers is because I like 3 inch barrels and taurus offers or has offered in the past a lot of models with 3 inch barrel's. The other reason is I carry them daily here on my place working and I may be feeding hay, cutting wood, crawling around under a truck...

    Is Taurus a Good Brand for Revolvers

    Had that problem with my brand new 856. It was in my possession for less than a day before it was on the way back to them to be repaired. Came back still not right and I DIY'd it myself. Last Taurus I'll ever buy unless I can have it in my hands and give it a complete checkout before I lay my...

    Is Taurus a Good Brand for Revolvers

    My experience with taurus revolvers has been do not buy online you want to be able to inspect them and know what to look for before you put your money down. I own 5 of them and 3 of the 5 I had to do a little work on them to make them right all 5 of them were online purchases.

    Do you carry a handgun in and around the house?

    If I'm in bed there is one within reach if I'm out of bed there will be one on me. I live in the sticks and don't carry a cell phone and if I did it would take a deputy at least 20 minutes to get here after I called. So best to be prepared. Don't have one nearby while I'm in the shower but if...

    No more gun shows for me

    Same for me. Used to go to most of them within 150 miles of me but now the prices on everything (including admission) is just to high to just walk around for a hour or two and leave disgusted.

    Tell me about the AMT .380 DAO

    Registering a Taurus handgun after 30 days of purchase

    And if you have a Taurus and have to send it to them to be fixed good luck with them fixing it right. My one experience with them was not very good.
