    Only about 100 rounds thus far. Brought it to the range and a number of guys shot it... the resounding reply,

    “Wow, this Taurus doesn’t suck!”

    Trigger is decent, hits to the sights. Sharpie treatment on the rear sight as standard on my other stainless wheelguns.

    Got a back in stock notice on the revolver in the photo above from KyGunCo today. $369.99.

    My cheap bastardness is going to wait until it's closer to $300 somewhere.

    Stainless one needed a stablemate. Two is one & one is none.

    What's the speedloader situation on these?

    Recently acquired a couple HKS for a Dick Special. They aren't much less snug to the frame than my 10A units but more cleanly release their payload into the cylinder.

    We need a list of equipment people are successfully using with these.


    Holsters
    Speed loaders
    etc

    What weight bullet did you shoot? If these hit POA with 158 grainers, I might pick one up.

    Got a chance to handle one of these with a 2 inch barrel at a LGS. (looks like model # 2-856029. Supposed to have been brand new, but had a dirty bore, forcing cone and some residue on the cylinder face.)
    Trigger was good in DA; timing was no bueno. Cylinder had 1/32" wiggle on every chamber with the hammer back in single action mode. What a shame.
    Be careful if you order one.

    Was that wiggle check with the hammer back (cocked single action), or was it with the hammer cocked, thumb on hammer, and trigger pressed fully to rear (full lockup)?
    Well, you may be a man. You may be a leprechaun. Only one thing’s for sure… you’re in the wrong basement.
