thank you ..... I've just begun reading your review of the Taurus .. I've always thought the desert eagle a bit of a mid-life crisis toy ... unless your are hunting engine blocks

but as they say ... Size Does Matter

Yes, well....

That Taurus .357 in Titanium is suweeet....!!!

If you can find one to look at, you will be amazed that the box of cartridges weighs more than the weapon. I was a bit tentative about recoil at first, but was pleasantly surprised at the great job the "ribber" grip does in absorbing any shock. I rigged up a "budget" shoulder holster for it out of a sheepskin lined gun case and some old shoulder straps from various travel bags. The gun can be rigged to ride inside its sheath or ....if you're out wandering about in the woods...adjusted so the butt hangs out just a tad and the velcro "back strap" I added to the case holds it in. It is SO light you can literally forget its there while you're huckleberry picking or whatever and still rapidly deploy the revolver to discourage critters from horning in on your day's entertainment. The vented barrel does a great job of controlling "muzzle flip"...

The projectiles coming out the front end can be purchased in a hard cast version which will sufficiently perforate your local bear if you so desire.

I'm a fan of Gun Control....use both hands and get 6 of the 7 rounds dead center.
