Anyone own one of these? I like the idea that the S&W will fire the

.45 ACP. The Taurus, from what I

see, is limited to the .45 Colt, as far as .45 caliber goes.



Anyone? Who knows, maybe those damn pythons will work their way up here!





Just a comment:



A major gun dealership in my area states unequivocally on their

website that they will *not* stock or sell handguns made by Taurus

citing poor quality, almost non-existent customer service and having

had major issues with the company.



Taurus is a Brazilian gun manufacturing company.









Mine says "Made In Brazil" Taurus, Miami, FL.

For what you get, I think the pricing is a tad much, but not unreasonable. I don't know, I haven't been in the firearm marked for about 15 years.
