Wow. Very comfortable in the hand thanks to the great rubber grip that Taurus makes. There is no need to purchase/upgrade the grip. This shoots like a dream. After shooting a Taurus PT840, I feel almost no recoil from this wheel gun. I love the fact that this holds an extra round compared to other revolvers in this size. That extra shot could be the difference between life and death. This is a perfect front pocket carry gun. I got a small pocket holster and just drop it into my jeans every day. I don't think there's any negative feedback that I could give for this weapon. So far Taurus has treated me right, along with Buds Gun Shop being the best firearm dealer I can find. Great prices that can't be beat along with very fast shipping(the charge hadn't even cleared my credit card upon receipt of this gun). Buds, I'll be seeing/dealing with you again, hopefully really soon.

This is my third purchase from Buds, and I have to say it's also the fastest. I bought this 12/12/11 around 8:00pm and UPS.com shows that I'll get it on the 15th. This is prime Christmas shipping season and I'm getting this in 3 days? Wow! Great job Buds!! I sold my Taurus PT840 to purchase this gun, the only reason that I sold it was due to the fact that I lost 50lbs and it's hard to conceal a full size semi auto now. Hopefully this little snubbie will do the trick. I wanted a silver finish, 6 shots compared to 5 and a lightweight carry. This gun should be perfect for me. I'll post again after I pick it up tomorrow and have fired a few rounds through it. Fantastic job Buds and keep letting people bash Taurus, because I love how it drives the prices down. I've owned 3 Taurus pistols now and have yet had a bad one.

I can not believe that you can show this picture of a black gun and sell a gray gun under that same picture. Please don't tell me that the manufacture gave you that picture. The gun you sent me is nothing like the gun you portrayed in you advertising.Buyer be ware.Buds for the first time truly let me down. I have made four different purchases from Buds.IThis may be my last.

Buds was great with the transaction. After receiving from my FFL within 5 days, cleaned the grease out of gun (typical Taurus was full of it). Dry fired with snap caps would not engage transfer bar 50% of the time. Contacted Taurus, they had Fedex at my door the next day to pickup. Two weeks later back in my hand. Taurus will stand behind their products and make it right. Have run 50 or 60 rounds thru it without a hitch. Two inch grouping at 25 ft, great for a snubby. Bought it for my wife, guess I need to get her another one, this one is becoming my CCW. Pleasant to shoot after running a hundred rounds thru my 40. Good gun, great price, great manufacturer/customer service and of let's not forget, great seller. Next gun purchase will be from Buds. Thanks

I have had this revolver now for several months. It is a dull finish but I like the way it looks. Anytime I shoot it there are always questions from bystanders. I have not, nor will I try P ammo since it says not to. Recoil is very light for this size of gun. It is just large enough that you can't carry it in your front pocket. Would I recomment it? Yes !! As for buying from Buds no problems as usual!!!!!

Very lightweight. Finish is a dull metallic silver but shoots very well and recoil is light. Papers said not to use +p ammo with this magnesium revolver so just tried 38 spc WWB FMJs and those worked well. Thought the recoil would be more since it was so lightweight but in fact was not. Quality of finish is not as good as the S&W air ones but the price is much lower as well so can't complain. Reliable groupings thru 50 rounds, nice rubber grip but pinky is left out. This unit has two small keys that locks the hammer (safety feature) but I never even tried using it. Overall am satisfied with the price to quality and performance ratio of this little Taurus.
