Is Taurus a Good Brand for Revolvers

[kje54]

I have an 856 I bought late last year. I tried 3 different grips til I found one that kinda, sorta works. I've never fired it and never will not because there's a problem with the gun's function but simply with the size of it. The 856 was a teaching endeavor, I learned that small/J frame guns are just too small for me. I don't care who makes it I will never buy another small/J frame.
I'll probably trade it for a CZ P10S or a Taurus TH40 or sell it outright.
Oh and please don't waste your or my time trying to "help me make it work for me" advice........ Thanks anyway.

I have had 13 Taurus Revolvers. I would definitely buy Taurus again. I’ve had all makes and still do. Lately S & W seems to be having a quality control problem. I also won't by their revolver's with the lock

I did 10-12 rounds of factory 180 grain 44 magnum in the Tracker I had. That was enough to convince me it was a 44 Special that COULD fire magnums, but I'd never do them again. Now, that's not an inditement of the gun. The Tracker is just a smal, light (reletively) gun. Also the "ribber" grips that came on the gun were awful for me. I swapped them out for a set of Hogues and it made a big difference, at least with 44 Specials. I never tried any more magnums. I don't shoot anything but paper these days, and it don't take a lot of killing so why bother?

That's sort of the way I am. I just bought my next to the last Taurus I'll ever buy when I got another 327 model a few days ago. This time it's the 3" T.O.R.O. model. I plan to shoot it later today, maybe tomorrow. It's probably going to be a pretty much 32 Long gun for the same reason mentioned above, but I'll run a few magnums, H&R and Federal through it for grins and giggles.

Did thr .44 mag load sting? or just violent?

It was a pretty sharp recoil. It didn't take the gun out of my hand or anything, but I only shot those to be able to say I had. To me it's a 44 Special that can shoot 44 Magnum. The same as I do the Smith and Wesson 69.
