I have a chance to trade a glock 23 for a Taurus tracker 357 6.5 inch barrel
I wouldn't trade my 4" Taurus Tracker 41 Mag for 3 Glock 23s.
Seriously, most Glocks are replaceable, while good 41 Mags of
any flavor are hard to find. And my Taurus 41 Mag
is a good one.
I don't remember when I got it, but it has never failed me, it's as accurate (or "precise" if you prefer) as any of my revolvers, and I've treated it pretty darn rough over the years. It was my backpacking revolver back in the days before I got so old and fat that a one-mile hike with a 60lb backpack on my back would put me in the hospital (or the morgue).
At any rate, I originally bought a Taurus revolver for backpacking because I didn't want to pay an arm and a leg for a gun that I knew I was going to get dirty and probably put a few dings in, yet it had to be dependable. My Taurus has met those criteria - it's gotten dirty, it has dings, yet it always works.
By the way, I have a Taurus 32 H&R snubby revolver that I carry everyday when I'm working outside, especially way out on the back part of our property. And I bought it for the same reasons - it was relatively inexpensive, it gets dirty, it gets dings, yet it always works.
The only problem I have with my Taurus snubby is the short sight radius and my 70 year old eyes aren't all that compatible, so I don't shoot it all that well. But it's there, tucked out of the way behind my right hip, making me
feel comfortable even though it's only a .32, and I can't shoot a 3-shot, 4" group any farther away that 15ft with it.
