Any difference in longevity ?I have the Taurus 65 in 4 inch and several K frames 10, 4 inch, M&P 4 inch, 64, 4 inch, 64, 2 inch. The Taurus will fit the K frame holster. Are there differences? Of course but size isn't one of them.
The Taurus revolvers you mentioned are VERY close copies of the Smith K frames.

For some stupid reason... hindsights 20/20They are very close in size with the Taurus being just very slightly larger. And the Taurus doesn't have the flat spot on the bottom of the forcing cone like the S&W not that the flat spot has ever bothered me. I have owned 3 model 82s in the past and wish I still had at least one of them. I thought they were very well made guns especially for the money. And thats why I have pointed them out to you in some of the emails we have traded.
When Aim Surplus had some in stock for $200 I recommended that you get one of them but you didn't seem interested at the time.
