Took my old ‘90s model 85 CH out and did a modified version of the Old Bakersfield PD 10 round course of fire with it. It acquited itself well. I’d like to see Taurus do a “More Executive” line,...

If the collective on this revolver sub-forum were to create an ideal book on running revolvers for defense or fighting, what would you include as topics to break down? What would your ideal table of...
Pics of the internals compared to the older early 1990s 85. For anyone interested.

Old and new.
Recently added the Taurus 856. Found the #4 Uncle Mikes seems to be a better fit than the #3 that I have for the 442. Azula holster off of Amazon seems to work well for belt carry with all three.

Since the Snubby revolver thread is going well, there have been mentions of some holsters that folks like, but that info may get “lost in the sauce” a bit. I’d appreciate input on good holsters for...
Yes, the 640-1 Pro is, in my head at least, a logical evolution of the improved snubby, with regards to sights, smooth edges, and trigger.
I have gone down a bit of a Taurus snubby rabbit hole. ...
My interest in revolvers was rekindled when my father-in-law had a stroke and he asked me to go to their house and secure his handguns. I brought everything home. Each handgun needed a good...
I like the simple solution to blackstrap bite by way of application of some leather and coban athletic wrap. Elegant in simplicity if not in aesthetics.
I’ve found the J clips to be faster than a standard speed strip, but bulkier. Slower than a speed loader, but still about as bulky. I like to load some up before going to the range, for easy...

I may have to look into the Jetloaders. Since picking up a revolver again after an extended break, I’ve been practicing with Safariland, Revision CV, and Zeta 6 J clip to see if I have a favorite...
Thanks for the info. My experience with the 85s was pretty limited. Knew a couple guys who worked at a range who owned 85s which seemed pretty decent in the mid ‘90s. Also several customers at the...
Curious to hear your negative experience with the 85 series.
I was working part time in a gun range/shop in the early ‘90s. I remember Taurus auto loaders having some issues. Kind of soured me on Taurus, but at the same time two of the range employees had...
A sixth round would be nice I suppose. If I want more capacity, I’m probably jumping back up to my Px4 compact with 15+ rounds onboard and leaving the revolver home. I don’t know if a 6th round...

I don’t know about “Must” have. But the S&W 640-1 Pro blends features I do like.
Weight of the steel frame in a...
I know, and I appreciate that about this forum. The statement about hyperbolic replies was directed at threads I’ve encountered in other forums.
And, yes I realize that each individual firearm...
Thanks for the input, everyone. Seems the consensus is that the 2k challenge is of little merit unless one may have already run into an issue and is trying to reestablish trust in a particular...
Much appreciated. PM sent.
And this is kind of my point. Modern autos and revolvers alike will tend to chug along and perform reliably I think the 2k challenge was partly established to bring vulnerabilities or sensitivities...
Pistol Forum has a fairly established protocol that many have adopted as a baseline reliability with regard to semi-auto pistols. In the context of revolvers, would a 2,000 round challenge be...

Added some Altamont grips. We’ll see if it helps me get a better grip established.
I’ll try to keep the background brief. So, summary:
- Was faced with an opportunity to obtain a snubby .38 Special at a low low price.
- I’ve not been a huge fan of Taurus
- Discovered it was a...
Very nice “little” publication. Glad I stumbled across it. Very recently reintroducing myself to revolvers, through an unexpected/unlikely acquisition. Bought an old (but hardly fired) Taurus 85. ...
