The Prodigal Taurus has returned, and wearing a new suit!

Over the summer I pocket carried my custom Taurus M85 around the place and workshop, and after several sweaty months the finish was suffering despite the pocket holster. My pal Tracy Denius offered to Cerakote it for me, and he'd done such a good job on my field pistol that I jumped on the offer. I handed over the frame, cylinder etc. and he coated it in Tungsten Cerakote. The result is sharp, and ought to wear well. I'm very pleased!

Before I reassembled the gun I installed a modified trigger return spring for a S&W Model 60 and smoothed things up a bit, which has dramatically improved the trigger.

Glad to have my 'pocket pal' back, and delighted with how it has come out!

How many fingers you get on that grip? One?

Three... but the pinky is barely contributing.

This seems to be "chiefly" a point and shoot pistola.
Nevertheless, very "special".

Nice, lol! It's largely a point-blank sort of gun, yeah. However the sights work and are useful, especially beyond about three yards. I've shot this as far as twenty-five yards, and it will keep them in the 'A' Zone.

Hey! What's going on here? This makes a half dozen or so positive threads about a Taurus revolver in the last few days. Has the earth been knocked off it's axis.

Looks good Tinker.

Gun Tests just put a new S&W up against two Taurus revolvers... the Taurus's won. Have to say though, the Model 85 has generally been pretty solid down through the years.
