Good choice! I got a blue 4" one in 1988 that served as my HD gun for ten years until it was stolen in a burglary. It was an excellent revolver. I replaced it with a 689 (vent rib) stainless steel model that was made in 1990. It's another excellent revolver and also serves as my main HD gun (even though I own many "fancier" ones). I got them for $200 apiece barely used (the first was LNIB).
Recently I found a 6" stainless Model 66 for a good price. Its trigger is divine. It's old enough that the Taurus website can't identify it. As soon as my health improves a bit I will give it a good workout at the range.
Sorry, I don't have any new ones, but just thought I'd add to the conversation. I am not a Taurus fanboy, but I have had good experience with their Model 66 and Model 85 variations, and their copy of the Beretta 92.
