After getting frustrated with the sccy, I ended up dumping it (took a little hit on it, but it's out of my life now).
Went back to my dealer and went right to the wheel gun section. They had the typical all stars. S&W 442, 642, Ruger LCR in all the flavors, even had the new Kimber revolver.
Having already owned a S&W 442, and currently a Ruger LCR in 357 (dad is currently carrying it) I was hoping to maybe get another one. But like all things prices go up... ($549 for the 357 ruger ouch!)
The Smith and Wesson were priced right around the $400 mark. Great guns, but again outside my budget (unless I felt like not eating for the next week).
Then mixed in with the bunch was the Taurus 85. I've owned several Taurus revolvers, and never had a problem with any of them. I was suprised it was the Ultra-Lite model, and had the external hammer (I like the ability to shoot single action). I asked to see it, and after handling it I felt like this could fill the roll. Being a revolver I knew I wasn't going to have the issues of the semi auto. Don't get me wrong I love the semi auto. I love all guns (except for the sccy) and can appreciate the affordable things in life. Which this gun was. $279.99 and I was able to pick up a box of Hornady critical defense +P 38 special to go with the new Taurus.
Got the revolver home and gave it a good cleaning. Taurus likes to make sure their guns leave the Brazil factory well lubed. Then I spent 10 minutes dry firing it, getting use to the trigger. It's not a performance center Smith and Wesson, or a LCR... But it does pull clean. Single action is crisp, and should provide decent accuracy. Bench resting a snubnose revolver is like putting your Prius on the dyno; you know the results are going to be disappointing, and it doesn’t matter anyway.
Hope to get to shoot it sometime this week. I'll let you know how this one works out.
