current taurus revolvers

[Bo]

I have a Taurus 650 CIA. It shoots great and has never failed to go bang, even with it's 40 lb. trigger.

I have had my M85UL for 8yrs(?) and my M66 for 2. Both have been good guns. I have the M85UL for daily carry. The M66 is my nightstand gun and scouting gun. I think for the most part Taurus revolvers are a good bargain.

I was able to shoot my newly acquired model 85 today; a two inch barrel edition. No malfunctions; it does shoot a bit left, but I can compensate for that. I was surprised to find the SA trigger pull very nice. DA is tougher, but not at all unmanageable. I also have a snub nose Taurus in a larger caliber and it too performs satisfactorily. Funny, I have two revolvers that in total cost less than one comparable S&W, and I have funds left over for shells....I may change my mind later, but as of now, given what I have found so far, I am willing to risk working with Taurus customer service, should the need arise...

several years ago when they first started bringing in the 17 hmr I got one for t&e. It shoots seven shots and with a scope on it, was very accurate from all chambers at 50 yards. everything worked right and there was nothing to shor about the timing, action or trigger pull. I have heard that when you get a lemon, they lack either the ability or the interest to get them right but they can make a good revolver when they try.

the first time I posted this picture, somebody complained that I had murdered a poor carvo-american that was doing nothing but minding his own business. I cooked him up and ate him, having never done so before and will say that I ate every last bite even though he wasn't good.

I've owned 3 Taurus handguns. Two 454s and a 41 Mag Titanium Tracker. The first 454 had all sorts of problems (timing, etc) and I got rid of it. The 41 Mag is o.k. but the trigger pull is heavy and gritty. The 2nd 454 has a 5" barrell and I use it as a hunting handgun. It shoots well. - -As others have mentioned, I've had mixed results with their product. Even though I like the 454 that I have now, I no longer look at Taurus when considering a new handgun purchase. I simply don't have the time to hassle around if there are any problems. And, I need to be 100% confident in my side arm or hunting handgun. - - -

That looks like a nice TSRA cap

And if you took him on the wing, that is a heck of a shot!
