Well, see there you go, you are biased. I have owned many Taurus arms and they have functioned reliably and continuously for quite a while. You are obviously a gun snob. The S&W, BTW, is fine and not old or klunky. However, I strongly suspect you are both. I am old, but not Klunky or stupid, nor have I failed to shoot just about every caliber in the books to date. I am 68 and have been shooting since I was 10.
I repeat. I(get the I)think the .44 Special is the best defensive handgun round ever made, and I will always think so, regardless of biased tools like your self.
"... I repeat. I(get the I)think the .44 Special is the best defensive handgun round ever made, and I will always think so, regardless of biased tools like your self." Okay. You sure showed me.
I suppose that I can only blame myself for foolishly stating my opinion in your Saturday morning thread that should have been titled:
"I prefer to shoot expensive and uncommonly available antique ammo through inexpensive handguns of questionable quality."
