Old Fuff sez in one of those four
"I have one, and consider it to be a delight... I also have an older Charter Arms. It has proved to be satisfactory, but both the revolver's weight and construction is lighter.
In this kind of platform (big-bore snubby) I prefer the additional weight. Others might differ."
longspurr sez -
"I have a 445 5 shooter. It is as accurate as I can get a snubby and shoots close to point of aim.
When first purchased I got 1 or 2 lite strikes per cylinder. A trip to Taurus customer repair and it is now reliable both SA and DA.
This gun was purchased new approx 10 years ago."

I've had a 445 for about 5 years now and love it.

I have had a similar model, the 441, for many years. Enjoy shooting it

(at least it's on topic)

Are you surprised that that no one is helping the OP? Go back and read the first reply by YOU refusing to help him. Kinda set the tone for the thread don't you think?

Not sure I understand the distinction. Either word suggests a position based on "a preconceived judgment or opinion". It doesn't bother me that a forum dedicated to a specific brand might tend to be biased in a positive sense toward that brand. I would be surprised if that wasn't the case. But that possible reality doesn't mean that the probably favorable bias (prejudice) that the brand dedicated forum might have isn't at least partially offset by the experiences with that brand as reported by people who are generally more familiar with and actually use it. It's for these reasons that I find both types of forums (general firearm-related [as is The High Road] and brand specific) useful-understanding, of course, that neither are necessarily gospel.
Stainz, Now that I recall, I had a chance to get a 296, but I like the choice of single action. What I meant (and wasn't clear at all about it) was I'd like to see a 5 shot 44 Mag. THAT would be nice. I'd buy one right now if they existed..

I agree with Swampwolf and others here re: both brand sponsored and non-branded forums having value to offer, including taurusarmed.net
(I never said different)
I own 17 brands of firearms and have surfed branded forums on all of them, plus some, although currently being more interested in whatever brand #18 might next be. Just one of the reasons I spend most of my surfing time on THR and other non-branded forums.
OFF TOPIC,
not being about Taurus 445, which seems to have won high marks in this one
(I saw not one negative comment in text here on the 445, but I did not read all search links found)
from our esteemed unbiased brethren over yonder
and with apologies aforehand to all poor schleps and pathetic people everywhere
Qwiks draw sez -
They've got one going now in the Revolver Department about the Taurus 445. The guy who started it said he would not take any data from here because THR was better. I took it to task and then it turned out it was not a actual for real query. It was set up as bait. Then the anti-group name called in and lied all over again.
Some poor schlep actually thought it was a legit query and tried to give real data. He was cast aside by them. I pulled out quickly.
They all said that gun specific data was considered as too biased and colored and therefore not relevant.
What horse hockey. Then they declared that only THR members' "opinions" are what counts. No one else's does. I took on the absurdity of that and then left.
Real people with common sense will see things for what it is.
They are pathetic over there.

As far as "THR opinions" being all that counts?
I need to copy that statement.
It will return again and again, thread after thread, over there.
Anyone who talks about "how many are made" or anything else supported by facts will be smacked upside the head by it.
This could be FUN.
(Qd replies) Set them up even more.
PS
some 'truths' in Qwiks draw's public domain statement above strike me as just a tad skewed (some examples I highlighted in blue),
I am probably just being a bit peevish and/or shamefully biased, but I do find it tiresome when so oft repeated by same posters here on THR
sorry about all that
do let us know how that 445 works for you, if you go for it
always interested in hands on user experience
in the meantime, HiVel1 - "Appreciate the info-will look at the Taurus site"
good idea... but do try not to get yourself smacked upside the head

I can guarantee all concerned I will never buy a Taurus anything, ever.
I got all the info I need.Thanks.
I am not prejudiced -look it up in the dictionary. Merriam Webster's Collegiate , 10th edition says it means a couple of different things. My choice of meaning is: "preconceived judgement or opinion", not the legal or the newer "PC" meanings of the word. End of thread for me. Bye

Taurus Tracker. Had one and wish I had it back. 34 oz. Porting tamed recoil. Size of a M19 S&W.
Concerning the 44 Special, I like it . Might get one. Had a 4 inch 441 and would like it back, too.
