Grendel P10 is indeed blowback, and has NO magazine release - it is a blind magazine loaded from the top. No inadvertent magazine releases. I got my hands on one a few years back, and it's reliable and accurate. And light. Not very pleasant to shoot, but not as bad as many folks make it out to...
Might have to wiat a bit on getting too many more of those magazines. Shield Arms and Palmetto State Armory are duking it out in the courts over whether or not the Dagger Micro magazines are infringing on patents... Here's a link to The Firearm Blog with a brief overview and some court-related...
I have the gloss blue 'Rossi badged' version that is the same gun, but lacks the porting and adjustable sights. I picked it up a few years ago used at my favorite local place for a song. I believe that Taurus made a batch of them for Academy Sports around 2012 or so.

Agreed. Neck shots with Barnes bullets in .300blk are great - the last one I shot was with the now-discontinued Remington Hog Hammer 130gr Barnes bullet, and it dropped her immediately with a neck shot at ~20 yards. Recovered the bullet from 2 inches into the clay at her feet (I was shooting...
The Guardian grips with the pop-down pinky rest are nice on my Taurus 856 - and they make them for the LCR as well. Conceals like the bantam grip, shoots like the larger grip, and is hard plastic. They are light and not sticky. I like them.
Website lists capacity as 6 rounds. Not gaining any capacity over the .38 version, but the flexibility and reduced recoil might be worth it.
An interesting comparison would be the size of the "old" model Taurus M327 and this "new" 327 version. Wish I had bought a few of the old version when...
Taurus has claimed the newly released 327 revolve will eventually come in 3" (as opposed to the 2" they have available right now).
It is, in essence, an 856 chambered in .327 Federal. Not exactly .32H&R, but it will shoot them...
I do not like the "new" style Taurus rubber grips either. I had one on an 856 I bought, and found that it was very uncomfortable to shoot with that grip.
My solution was to buy a Pachmayr Guardian Grip - it feels like the plastic S&W boot grips. Pretty easy to drift the spring pin out with a...
Just a quick update - shot around 30 rounds through the revolver today, and I definitely could tell they needed a little less "bite". I sanded the checkering down a little with a medium grit sanding sponge (carefully). Feels better, but only the next range session will tell if more sanding is...
Here it is in all of its .44 short-barrel glory:
I must say that I am very pleased with how these grips look, fit and feel! Some thoughts:
The "black cherry" color does kind of resemble dark rosewood, though the pictures don't really do it justice. It looks classy on a blued gun, for sure...
They have the same grip style as the Judge. Just a different method of attachment I suppose, squeezing from the sides vs. A screw on the bottom. These grips do fit the Judge as well Customer service assured me they would accept a return if they did not fit.
I've got a Rossi R44102 - the same gun as the TALO 2.5" barrel Taurus Tracker, but blued. I've been shooting it with Trailboss loads in magnum cases, which are nice .44 special level recoil loads. I've also acquired a simply Rugged sourdough pancake holster for it, which I plan to carry it in...
Here's one that I bought for sub-$100 years ago. It had been dropped on the hammer and broken off the spur, so I filed it down to something more comfortable. I then installed a homemade shim to remove endplay. It locks up perfectly, and is super accurate to boot. My final changes were to swap...
Both Heritage Mfg. and Diamondback are owned by Taurus, so they're going to get your money either way you go on that front.
Speaking of 9 shot "Sidekicks"... As an unabashed H&R fan (which, this revolver fills the same niche) - I'd love to have a 2" 929 Sidekick with an aluminum frame. That...
Forgotten Weapons has a few videos about the Hopkins & Allen XL line of revolvers that you might find interesting... The comments section can be a treasure trove sometimes. It does not appear to cover your particular revolver, but the information might be helpful nonetheless...
