I seem to hear more "I got a good one" than "I got a bad one" every time the subject of Taurus revolvers comes up.

Never had one, although tempted because of the price... but then I bought a Ruger GP100 6" instead.

Check pawn shops for a good used example and make a deal. Decades ago, Rossi made a target/silhouette version called the Cyclops. Super heavy barrel, poreted and factory scope mount. Was the most accurate revolver American Rifleman had shot at that point. Coulda shoulda woulda....

I'm going to be "that" guy and say just buy a Smith. Yes, they're more expensive. They also work better more often AND support for your product is stateside. I have 3 Smith revolvers and I don't lay in bed at night questioning if I bought something iffy

Back on topic.
It's not a hard decision. If a lightly used Smith is in the pawn shop for $400 or less, it's getting bought. No question.
A Rossi or Taurus?? Eh, it better be $300 or less and I have to be in a buying mood.

There's an EAA windicator sitting at the centralia pawn shop for just under 5 . If it's there next time I'm in I might have to offer $450 a buy it. I don't even want it , I just have a revolver problem.

LOL, I'll happily tell you about the Taurus Millenium I bought a couple decades ago. I hear people betching about crappy guns on this forum and others all the time.

The s&W version of that as far as I can tell is $949 new, so is $400 or less for a lightly used one realistic?
