I picked up a Tracker 4" and love it, smooth trigger, good lock up, no timing issues, light recoil (imo)
When I was deciding on a revolver, I looked at S&W's, and Taurus (a quick look at Ruger's, and while I like them, decided they were to heavy/bulky for what I wanted. I went with the Taurus for a couple of reasons (in no particular order): 1) When comparing similar models the S&W's fit and finish didn't seem any better, cylinders weren't any tighter (and in some cases looser), 2) Price, 3)Taurus Lifetime Warranty (on the gun, not the owner)
4) Better designed internal lock (wasn't looking at pre-lock models as I was looking at nib), 5) Felt most comfortable in my hand, 6) Did I mention Price?? (imo, to a certin extent you are paying extra just for the S&W
name)
For the record, the Tracker I ended up purchasing was (lightly) used, showed no wear, and I didn't have to wait for one to be ordered. The dealer also was willing to give me credit for full purchase price for 30 days, reguardless of if I fired it or not, towards another gun (new or used) if I decided I didn't like it........I still have it and plan on keeping it for a long time!
I also plan on looking for a snubby in the near future and will again compare Taurus to S&W but am already leaning towards Taurus.
