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.



Just buy the Smith & Wesson Governor. Holds six rounds of .410, 45 LC

and 45 ACP.

Never been around one, but the price scares me away...

Yeah, I can do without it for a while.
