As someone who sold a bunch of their revolvers for a couple years....
-They all look cooler than what they are. Meaning, it looks cool, till you go to pick it up.... then you feel how shitty the F&F is.
-You have to accept it feeling like a piece of shit compared to its kinda less shitty Ruger and S&W counterparts. Even a properly fitted taurus revolver still feels like shit.
-You have to accept that it has two buttons (at least the 44 mag ones etc do) that you have to press to open the cylinder. This is f***ing weird and awkward as hell to
deal with (to me). your mileage may vary.
-You have to accept that, because taurus, you might end up with a perfectly OK revolver or one that fails or explodes after a month or less. You also have to accept that you might get a
decent trigger or one that is more to the marginal or poor side.
-You have to accept that basically, you will just bought a revolver that will have virtually no stored value. If you had to sell it for any reason, whoever the buyer is, whether its a shop or a privsale buyer, is going to cosby you hard on a Taurus product, because, well, its a taurus. And the entire point of Taurus is "its cheap" and most of their demo are hardcore skinflints. Those people arent playing the $100 rule. They're going to push much harder than that if they were buying a used taurus.

Of course the happy fun ball here is the QC of even better companies like Ruger and S&W is also questionable these days. (EG, like S&Ws canted barrels etc). But my gut would tell me to go for a super redhawk or something long before I sullied myself into this level of doodoo.
