Nice gun. Beautiful....
Nice gun. Beautiful. Taurus QC is a bit loose (a small hairline barrel scratch visible at certain angle, slightly raised edge on one side of trigger, a few light machine marks/buffs on the outside metal handle) but it's good. This could also be a sign of the times. The action isn't as smooth as any given Smith & Wesson, but again it's good for the price. This is my 2nd Taurus, the first was a parkerized model 66 a few years ago, with wood grips which had zero cosmetic blemishes. That one shoots well. I like that this 856 has 6 chambers. P is demarcated under the barrel with an asterik after .38 spcl. Keep in mind matte stainless is arguably likely to scratch worse than a polished version. (I bought mine for 407 plus tax, 425 with a 30 dollar mail in rebate which was approved but I've yet to receive). Good feel in hand (I'm 6'3). I've yet to shoot her. I heard 38's are better as snubs than .357's for ballistics, weight and noise reasons, particularly if you are buying a more economic brand--get the .38. Bottom line--I'm not kicking her out of bed. ^^
