I've had one for a year and shot all calibers. When I shoot 9mm I don't bother with a moon clip, but push the fired brass out with a stick. This works fine with brass cases, but steel cases are hard to eject so I advise shooting only brass cased 9mm ammo.
I have one with 6.5 inches barrel.
Great for versatility.
Loaded with 38 spl.+P , it is #2 gun in my bedroom safe.
( I can explain why that ammo).
Finish is solid and durable but not attractive at all.
I would rather have SS version, if available.
Trigger could be better , and while rear sight is adjustable , I feel this revolver should have better groups, especially with barrel that long.
I get the same group size like with any 9mm semi auto I have .
I don’t regret the purchase but I wished I saved $250 more and got SW 686 back then.
No mechanical issues at all.

Test a variety of 9mm ammo to find out what it prefers, don't just buy the cheapest stuff and complain if the groups aren't as tight as .38 or .357's are.
I want one, they're on my list, but I'm waiting on the stainless 6 inch models to get more available. I don't care for the black oxide finish on these Taurus revolvers, give me real bluing or make it stainless.

Same. I tend to like their revolvers okay, but that new dark finish is ugly and doesn't look like it will last well.
If I can, I go stainless on the inexpensive handguns, since the finish is usually one of the things that puts them in that price range.
