I'm looking at picking up a used Taurus 82, blued, 2in snub this weekend for $200. I don't know the history of this gun. What I want to know is, does anybody know when these guns were first produced?
I know this one does not have the ridges in the cylinder flutes, which tells me is a later "Taurus" Taurus, not a early "S&W" Taurus.
Condition looks great. Has rubber grips not original I assume. But I haven't seen any 2in versions of this model before. $200 is still an attractive price though.
Edit: this gun doesn't have the full length barrel shroud for the ejector. Other than the front sight ramp, this gun looks just like a S&W model 10
