Bought a Taurus. Again!

**A-R** · 24-07-2019, 21:28

This is kind of a confession. I have just bought myself another Taurus handgun. Yes, I have done my research, not on you-tube mind you, and this is the best available for my purposes at present. Works for me, and you guys are just jealous!

No, it is not a G2 or Millenium, I have proper EDC guns, thank you. It is another mod 608. (Aunty Google is your friend.) Always worthwhile to have 2 of the type, as reliability is not their biggest trademark.

The alternatives were a S&W 627 V-Comp (EXPENSIVE!) or a Ruger Redhawk (which I have not seen in SA yet). All 8-shot 357 Mag, of course. This is a dedicated bowling pin shooter. I dislike the short (4") barrel on the Smiff, and the Redhawk comes with a slightly better 5,5" tube. Both are obviously much better guns, and quite a bit more expensive, but I really like the 8 3/8" barrel on the Taurus. It just shoots so well.

This particular revolver was bought used from a friend who is emigrating. He had it specially imported and it was worth the effort. It worked perfectly straight from the box, without any of the normal niggles. Somewhat rare on a Taurus.

So, untill I can get (and afford) a Redhawk (357) or Super GP100 with 7,5" or longer barrel, this one will have to do.

Any suggestions for a comfortable AIWB holster?

A Sticky holster should work just fine.

Mexican carry is the only way to go

It's a Taurus, carry it in your prison wallet.

And here I thought it was the legendary G2 you bought here on the GS.. The urgent sale, with extra mags?!
