Picked up an older Taurus revolver the other day. The 'net has not been good for finding info about it.
It was sold as a Model 66 [corrected to read Model 86] Range Master in .38 Special. It has a target trigger and adjustable front sights, and was supposedly built for Bullseye competition. It has a six inch barrel. I called Taurus and they confirmed that it was imported before 1981. That's all they could tell me.
In looking at many pics of Taurus revolvers I noticed that virtually everyone of them had a gold handgrip insignia, and they were all located at the top of the grip, offset to the upper left (based on the orientation of this pic). Mine is silver, and centered on the grip. I have not seen one like that anywhere on hundreds of pics that Google shows me for Taurus revolvers.
The lighting is off a little, but in reality the bluing is nigh perfect, and dark blue enough to almost want to take a swim in It looks as if a few rounds went thru it and then it was put in storage.
Any into would be appreciated.
