This gun was given to me for temp-to-perm safekeeping by a friend. It belonged to his father who now suffers from Alzheimers. The old man's son and grandson are borderline anti's so the gun fell on me since I'm apparently the only 'gun guy' they know and/or trust.
There is no visible model number on it. It is a blue, 6 shot, .38 Special with a 4 in barrel with unshrouded ejector rod and wood Taurus grips. The Taurus website 'model finder' dates it as a Model 82 produced in 1992. Ok, cool. But the Taurus site also says the model 82 is rated for +P and looking at this older revolver I find that a little hard to believe.
So what I'm wondering is, can I trust the Taurus site? Is this revolver rated for +P and is the Model 82 from 1992 one of the 'better', less problematic Taurus revolvers out there? I know some people swear by Taurus while others say they are crap, so can anyone with first hand experience with a Mod. 82 give me a little insight?
Thanks in advance to all...
