Northern Virginia/Southern Maryland/Washington DC area, and therefore I may have need of one of
these two revolvers:

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.

Maybe Taurus just can't pass that MA test requirement - fire ten rounds after filling the barrel
with concrete and running over the gun with a tank!
