Same. LGS has them so I've been considering picking one up. I have a POF p308 edge, but it's pretty heavy. It'd be nice to have something lighter.

I'm holding out hope that they start importing the Bren2 in 308. THAT would be my pick...

J-frames are strangely addictive. And they still make some without that infernal hole. I might feel another one coming on...

My first was a Model 36 (blue steel) which I bought as an off-duty in 1983. Unfortunately, I traded it in in 1995 or 1996 when I didn't realize how much I'd miss it later on. Live and learn.

Sadly, I don't think we'll ever see bluing like that again. I came across a pristine early 80's Model 36 at the LGS that someone had traded in a while back. Unfortunately, it was already spoken for. If I'd just arrived an hour earlier...

Is that the Taurus 605 ? I had a 605 and it carried well and never misfired….just right in my book.The crappy little Taurus that lives in my truck.

It's been argued that Taurus makes a fine revolver, especially for the price. Their autos, on the other hand, suck donkey balls. Because their autos suck, I tend to stay away from their revolvers too. A buddy of mine swears by them - unfortunately, he had one stolen, along with his backpack at an event up in Washington.

Yessir it is.Is that the Taurus 605 ? I had a 605 and it carried well and never misfired….just right in my book.
I have no real complaints about it honestly, it was just cheap.I would guess it has around 400 rounds thru it, without issue.
I swapped out the stock grip for something with a little more real estate and its a blast to shoot

Right on. I liked mine a lot and wish I still had it. I had a 608 (eight shot) .357 also. It had a ported barrel and shot like a dream. Traded that one for a VW Bug that the wifey had to have. The gun would’ve lasted much longer than the Bug did .Yessir it is.
