i might kind of add why do any of this given you can download the 41magnum? Well among other things going from memory, the booklet with the gun says it can handle up to 1300fps, a 44special isn't gonna do that.
and these taurus' in particular are really well built, light, easy to carry. I did't think i was gonna like that funky grip but it grows on you.
i think the next bunch are going to be around 230grains at about 1000fps which i think would be about ideal.
they revolver itself regardless of the slams against taurus like i said in my opinion is pretty well builts. I shouldn't admit to my cost in one, but it was a little over 200bucks. Try to find something like it in that dollar range. And it was new in the box.
