Avoid Taurus, same story but one small notch higher on the junk scale. I've seen 22 revolvers in both of those brands straight up stop working. Just like buying any tool for work use, when you think you can get away with buying a cheap one, that will be the tool that breaks when you most need it, creating more hassle and potentially costing more than if you'd just bought a quality tool to begin with.
I had several of the Taurus 22RF revolvers when I was teaching NRA Basic Pistol courses for CCW .None ever failed me,They had several thousand rounds put thru them. Not a Smith K-22, Ruger, or Colt,but an inexpensive serviceable revolver.
