These are good guns for the price, good fit and finish as well as a lifetime warranty with good U.S. service. It's not the quality of say a Smith and Wesson but it is not that price either, these are a serviceable, good grade gun for those times you don't need to spend a mint to get a really nice one, probably just as long lived but just not quite as pretty or precise but still good and strong.

I found exactly what I was looking for at Buds! I wanted a small reliable compact revolver that I could carry in my pocket that'll would be safe and dependable in the event I needed to quick respond to a threat. The revolver was impressive on the shooting range! The excellent price, the speedy delivery and the complete purchase went as smooth as "clockwork!" I will continue to use Buds services for all of my firearm purchases. Thank you Buds' for another positive experience!

I paid around $300 for this on sale. Love it. Bought it because it fires EVERY time with no misfires. It's a go to for home defense. Easy to hide, and shoots +P ammo with no issues.

Perfect place to start. Fun enough at the range… but just got it for home defense. 5 years trouble free ownership. Buds great, Taurus great.

A nice little revolver without spending alot I keep mostly as a night stand gun but take it to the range every so often, no issues anytime I went to range with it and of course A+ customer service from Buds.

I bought this for my wife. We attended a couple local gun shows and she test drove a whole slew of snubbie 38s. The grips on the Taurus felt best to her and seemed to fit her best. I liked that the one she felt fit best was also a steel frame. Yes, it is heavier to carry. But this little 38 packs a punch and I've fired feather weight handguns before and recoil is always higher. I didn't want my wife's shooting experience to be marred by a heavy recoil when a little more weight in the hand would solve much of that. Of course, never being a fan of getting gouged (especially in this time of heightened gun hoarding and buying frenzy) we didn't want to pay gun show prices. The obvious alternative was Bud's. Fair price, fast delivery, and easy purchase process always makes Bud's our first choice.

This is a great standard overall pistol. Nothing fancy but exceptionally reliable. It has a great grip for all hand sizes, including small grips. It gives you exactly the performance you expect from a revolver and great consistency for hundreds of rounds at the range each time.

You can contact Buds Customer Service via chat to see if thay have a "Glossy finish model in stock" Taurus currently distributes these on a ratio of approximately 80% Matte to 20% glossy. You can use the "Chat Now" blue button bottom right (7 days a week) or Customer Service (859) 368-0371 (available 9AM to 9PM EST Monday through Friday). -

A:Reece, the UPC code is of recent manufacture and should have the "Taurus Bull Head Molded Grip". I would still verify with Buds Customer Service just for clarification on this at LiveChat (available from 9AM to 9PM 7 days a week), the "Contact Us" tab at the top of the page, or phoning at (859) 368-0371 (available 9AM to 9PM EST Monday through Friday).See 1 more answer | -

A:It was the price yesterday and I received the same email about 3 hours ago. At the moment the price is showing higher without a price match request. I would contact customer service if you want to purchase. I can't guarantee the result, but I've always found them very helpful, and honoring a price from an email a few hours ago seems reasonable.See 3 more answers | -
