I'm so glad I found THR! I'm new to shooting (4 mos.) and just had to send my first purchase (Taurus 627 Tracker.357 4" Titanium) back to the factory. The timing was off and I was told not to fire it until it was fixed. I liked the fact that the gun was made of Titanium (supposedly less recoil - counter intuitive?) and held 7 rounds. I didn't like that the pull on the double action trigger was as tough as it was while trying to keep shots in the black! I also don't like that I'm having to send it back to Taurus after 3 months of light shooting!
My questions are these:
1) If I trade this gun for a Smith and Wesson 686 + should I go with a 4", 5" or 6"? (I use the gun primarily for target practice and as a bed stand personal defense tool.)
2) When did Smith and Wesson put "locks" on their revolvers that I hear so many of THR's members complain about?
3) What should a clean two owner Taurus 627 Tracker .357 4" Titanium bring if I were to sell it. Taurus should have the timing fixed (for free I hope-shipping was $60).
If anyone has any insight for me I'd sure appreciate it! The reason I'm thinking S&W is their triggers are soooooo smoooooth! Should I consider other S&W models besides the 686+?
