A good, basic, reliable .38 snub. However, I wish I would have spent the additional bucks and bought the one without the blemish.

When I rolled the dice on this, there were no reviews on this yet. A few days after I placed the order, a review showed up and that's the one above this one. Needless to say, after reading his review, I braced myself for the possibility of an unpleasant surprise. I looked it over when I received it this afternoon, the two guys behind the counter looked it over, and we couldn't see any "blemishes" to speak of. Maybe a small variation of bluing in one spot but, that's about it. I can only speak to the gun I received, right? Right. The gun I received looked identical to the one in the sample photograph posted on the site by Bud's. Same model, same blued finish, same handle, same-same. It came in the standard cardboard case with all the paperwork sealed from the factory in clear plastic, warranty card, two key gadgets in their own satin like-pull string bag thingy, and the gun came in its own satin like-pull string bag. I've seen tighter cylinder gaps than this particular revolver is sporting but the cylinder locks up well. The dry firing I did seemed acceptable to me with respect to the trigger pull in double action and the single action is what you'd expect. I'll do a follow up if the site allows after I take it out to the range. Bud's states that they ship 3-7 business days after the order is placed and in this instance it shipped on the 7th day, within the window they said it would of course. The label on the box states that the gun is "factory reconditioned." If that is in fact the case, they seem to have done a very good job at least cosmetically. I'll let you know how it shoots in a few days. So far so good to this point, though. At this juncture and for the price I payed, I give high marks. I think this is the 5th purchase I've made with Bud's over the years and it's always been a positive experience. Also, while not so stated on the gun itself, this gun is rated for "+P" use. There are 6 revolvers mentioned that are rated for "+P" on page 12 of the booklet and the Model 85 small frame revolver in 38 Special is at the top of the list. This however, is directly from the manual supplied with the revolver, also on page 12: "Even if your Taurus firearm is rated for Plus-P ("+P") ammunition, such ammunition generates pressures significantly in excess of the pressures associated with standard ammunition. Such pressures may affect the useful life of the firearm or exceed the margin of safety built into many firearms. Unless you need +P ammunition, do not use it, particularly for practice."

Ugliest Pistol I have seen. It's matte black and the grips are diffrent then from the picture. The grips are black plastic with a bull design and doesn't have the nice round Taurus logo from the picture. It's ugly!!! The pistol desn't say it's plus P rated anywhere. Nor the box it came in. Tried to get of hold of Taurus to see if they can check but after I was on hold for 46 minutes decided to hang up. Will have to sell the plus P bullets and possibly the pistol. I dought I will get $180 for it. I certanly would not pay that.
