I picked up a new Taurus 9 Shot 22l revolver - Model 94 and of course had to
stop in and shoot it. I also had my Rossi 6 Shot revolver 357 Model R46103 with me. After just a few rounds with each gun my hand was really sore. In fact I had to shoot some 38 specials in the 357 as the 357s were impossible for me to control due to the heavy trigger pulls. It's an understatment to say I was disappointed. So I stopped at my gunsmiths on the way home and told him the trigger pulls on both weapons was ridiculous and with my arthritis there was no way I could use them. He measured the trigger pulls on both and there were between 12 and 14. Bottom line they are now being fixed and the trigger pull will be about 6 on each when he is done. At least two weeks out and $100 US(A bargain price IMO).
Basically what my gunsmith said was these companies are playing at covering their asses. The idea being they don't need a saftey as with such a heavy trigger pull the guns can't discharge accidently, From what I've read the same "Policy" exists on other gun manufacturers. IMHO this is a ridiculous trend and detracts from the pleasure of shooting,not to mention the additional costs and time without your gun getting it fixed. Might be a good reason to spend a bit more for a Rugar or S&W. But to me on a tight budget, even with the additional expense the Taurus and Rossi still make financial sense.
