This is famous P-F thread drift, but I’m at the point that if I could identify the best SKU I’d order a 3” Defender 856.

Now that you are the head salesman in charge at Taurus, I am curious about the brand now. It was never in my consciousness. If I were to ask you to pick one pistol and one revolver that best epitomize what Taurus USA is all about (quality, value, utility): what would you recommend for me? For example, the old saying for which Glock was the G19.
I checked gun.deals again earlier today, and this is the best deal currently available, IMO. You might beat it by a couple (and I mean just a couple) bucks, but from outfits without the reputation and service:

That is the SKU I would get because it's steel, so best chance of durability and best for shooting a lot, and the stainless won't change color when it gets worn, nicked and scratched. The black is just black oxide. It's over stainless if I remember correctly on the 856s, so it won't rust, but it will get worn quickly and you won't be able to do any deburring/smoothing of externally visible surfaces/edges/corners without making it look like hell.

Not another dime.
I’ve personally sent 4 guns back to Ruger—admittedly, over more than 3 decades. Each time, they came back absolutely way better than new. It’s as if the peeps there take it as a mark of shame that something happened the first time, and they give a bit of extra love to the trigger mechanism while it’s apart for the unfucking. That goes double for SA wheelies.
I will *NEVER* buy another new S&W. Not after the last, Stephanie-esque multi-trip debacle. And, folks, a lot of you know me: I have a safe with a top shelf full of old S&W wheelies. But fuck those guys. (I mean, aside from the 640pro I bought a year or two ago. S&W no-lock centennial, I wish I knew how to quit you…)
As to Caleb, he may have awesome new powers and prestige, but he’ll always just be another needy P-F wheelie whore to me. And more power to Taurus for seeing the value in that. We are indeed lucky that he was slumming here first. JMO.
PS. “856 Executive Grade P-F group buy.”
I’m a wheelie whore too.
