I�ve heard complaints about Taurus quality, but in over 20 years, I�ve yet to come across a Taurus that doesn�t work as advertised. I�ve personally owned:

Taurus
92
66
905
805
85CH

All of them worked and worked well. I recently had a chance to shoot a friends .480 Raging Bull which was the most accurate production revolver I�ve ever hefted. I shot not one, but two sub-MOA 3 shot groups at 100 yards, then stood up and fired two shots that were touching. Holy-Cow, that gun shoots!! Way back when, I was poor and living in a bad neighborhood. I needed a handgun but I didn�t have much cash. I spied a used Taurus model 66 for $100.00 and I grabbed it. It was a bit on the ugly side, but again, that gun shot and shot well, turning in groups under 1.5� at 25 yards all day long (can�t figure out why I let that one go).

The .41 Tracker is a 5 shot on the medium frame, and I think it doesn�t really have a peer for size and weight (and probably strength). I think it would be an ideal gun for packin in the woods.
