Many thanks to everyone. You guys are awesome.
Just double check that you don't have to use clips.Alright, update on this project:
Thoughts?
- Wife came home. She's pissed. Not at me, thank the Creator, but Rossi. She suggests I fight it, because it is a raw deal. I tell her it isn't worth the time and aggravation. (My plan is to sell the snub, buy a replacement, and send a letter to Taurus telling them they suck and I won't be buying another wheelgun of their's ever.) After she simmers down, she says "Do whatever, my love" and is now making a late chicken dinner.
- I am about to order the 7-shot Ruger GP101 on Grab-a-Gun and then I spy a Ruger Redhawk, 8-shooter, with a 5½" barrel.* It is a C-note more than the aforementioned and has a shorter barrel, but damn, what a fine looking revolver.

and didn't have a novel written on the barrel.
When I saw the expression "Hillary Hole", the reaction was "¡Dios mío!", followed by the urge to:I just can't get past the Hillary hole...
Don't know if they still have half lug as an option? I changed out the grip inserts with ivory micarta.

Looks pretty similar!
Hmmm... I'd be having a discussion with a manager, considering there's still a 6" Model 66 in the current Taurus Catalog. I would think if pushed, they'll go like for like...
Might want to consult the family attorney as well, I think they're legally obligated to replace with a like item. Could be wrong though, wife seems to always think so...

I was thinking the same thing, totally agree with that, I'd call BS and tell them to replace with a comparable gun or refund your $$$. A letter from your lawyer would most likely solve the problem. At least then you could sell it and put the cash toward a real gun.
They count on that. I'm just dick enough to go for those beans and not care if burn a little time and cash.But in the grand scheme of things it doesn't amount to a hill of beans.
