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...



What is the fascination here with these big caliber, lightweight, short
barrel revolvers?
