Taurus Poly Revolver

[cruzans]

So I've been curious about the New Taurus Poly revolver in 38+ P so picked one up today. I really wanted the poly wood grips they show on most sites, but after striking out everywhere, I called Taurus direct and they said that even though everyone is advertising them, Taurus never actually produced them, the pictures are all prototype Very lightweight, different with the polymer, but like the look, the ss cylinder, etc. and pretty cheap price tag. May turn into the Mrs. gun, but we'll see after I take to the range !
I've been afraid to buy a Taurus after my first one crapped out after less than 50 rounds ( PT145 ) and from all the problems I've heard but figured I'd give them another try.

Yea, a bunch of PT 145 turned out to be turds. They were building tons of them when their quality control people took that two year vacation. They are back to work now. I have read a lot of good reviews on this revolver, and it looks cool as heck. I would like to shoot one; hopefully, soon...

That is interesting. Cant wait for a range report.

Interested to see if recoil is significantly, you know, shittier.......

Looks cool, though!

[kel ruger man]

it looks nice, how about a range report

That thing is F-ing hideous! It looks like a cross between a Sherman tank and a Chiappa Rhino, I saw one in a store the other day and just walked away. I like their model 85 and the UL version but this is just an train wreck.
