Over the years I've always read, and heard, the "experts" bemoaning S&W's fall from "the good old days" of QC. Taurus doesn't use a hole in the side of the gun for a lock, nor do they use 2 piece barrels.

Oh yes they do to use two peice barrels. My model 85 has a barrel shroud as did the 44 tracker I owned.

I still own the 85 and have complaints with it. And I have shot it quite a bit. My biggest problem with Taurus guns has been the cylinder not lining up with the bore. I would buy another Taurus but only if I can look at it in person. No buying one off the auction sites.
 
I've got a 669 ,606 and a 94 all good guns and all cost less than
One of my smiths buy one keep it if you like sell it if you don't
Experience cost something money is the cheapest price
 
Clem Looks like a model 10 sw i have or my dw revolvers that are 35 years old or a buddies ruger srh. Or several sw at the gun shop down the road..
My 2 taurus revolvers have been very good ones. Old and good. IF I was looking for a new revolver I would look at a taurus the same way I would a sw or ruger.
 
Yeah...that's it...not :)

In the last 35 years or so I have owned a number of revolvers, and have owned most all of the brands currently available. We have spent/wasted a lot of dollars on crap, and have figured out the difference between quality and crap...and refuse to keep buying crap. You may spend your dollars as you please, but one-two-three years from now you will be posting here with "woe is me" stories, and we will be saying, why didn't you do a search?

Your original question was, "would you buy a Taurus .357"?
My answer is "no", and if you asked why, my follow-up would be "do a search".

Here...I'll help you get started. You can come back a year from now and thank me.

Wow Orion that's a lot of links that don't work. I figured that may ruffle some feathers. Obviously your one of the people I speak of. As far as my Taurus revolver is concerned I couldn't be more happy with it.
