Modern Self-Defense Revolvers

Or is it?

Still waiting for reports on one of these things run hard.

Also, I have found an incredibly conveniently located FFL who can ship handguns around the country for very reasonable prices.

Damned if that thing doesn’t check all the boxes, save for one...

Hoping to shoot my 2 inch 856 more. Even if it proves reliable, I fear that I won’t be able to get past the Taurus stigma of poor quality.

Those are cheap enough that having three is practical - two to shoot, one to vet and carry. The configuration is very appealing.

That gun checks a lot of boxes. To bad its a Taurus. Ive had 2. Fool me twice???

If semi-autos went away, I’d probably be carrying one of these.

I need to set up the Dillon and start squeezing out .357s to fully vet my 3” K6s. It could easily serve as my primary carry weapon if we lose semis, not that I think it will happen. If nothing else it would be a good choice for cross border carry in MA.

Yea a.....I hope it works out for Taurus....local shops don't carry Taurus or Kimber for a reason.....It brings one more round to the table (than a LCR) and a long history of being garbage.

If I were carrying a revolver seriously I would be carrying 2. So one round and Taurus's reputation is not for me.

I had a Taurus 605 for a lot of years. Maybe because it was a 1990s-era gun, the quality was better. It was what I could afford at the time, it was a beater gun and it got treated as one. If it got a rust spot, some 0000-grade steel wool, cold blue and drive on.

Eventually, I got a smoking-hot deal on a 3" Model 60. It did everything the Taurus did, only better, so the Taurus went away.

Good Lord. That stock photo purports a gun that looks to have AT LEAST a .010" barrel/cylinder gap. I mean WTH?
