The 357 Magnum is Really nice, broke it in this afternoon and I have to say between carrying my Taurus g3, the Magnum feels a lot nicer as CC.

Nothing wrong with the firearm, but if you want to wait 4 weeks for an item to ship, and be lied to by customer service, then don’t shop with this company. Extremely slow shipping.

Very accurate, low maintenance revolver. Used for home protection and bowling pin shoots.

Awesome 357 for the price harder to clean than more costly stainless steel finished guns.shoots great straight out of the box. I will be getting a model 66 with a longer barrel next Thanks Bud's

Have owned this pistol for over 10 years now. Zero issues! It is an awesome handgun and by far the most accurate pistol I have owned. Did do a trigger/ hammer spring swap soon after purchase but that's been 10+yrs ago and I don't remember which brand I used. I do remember it was a simple process and made a huge difference in shooting. Sights are great, grips are fantastic. Has enough weight to shoot 38Specials effortlessly. Handles high grain 357 mags very well also. 4" barrel is perfect compromise for me between accuracy and size/weight. Normally carry this gun while elk hunting in CO. I load Double Tap 200gr solid lead flat nose. Gun handles them great although you should prepare for a flame thrower and big boom! (And use 2 hands! ) I have recommended this pistol to everyone who asks about a good revolver. Nothing bad to say after MANY rounds through it.

One of the most affordable of the .357 wheel gun category while still decent quality. I was looking at the S&W and Ruger, but a friend talked me into this one. Saved a bunch and am not disappointed.

The Taurus 4" lets me know I am shooting a magnum. It kicks a lot harder then the 6.5" tracker which is a lot more fun to shoot and more accurate for me to shoot. The 4" could be a CCW and ya have 7 shots is a heavy gun.

It has that classic double action revolver look and feel when it's in your hands plus it shoots like a dream.

Another we got you, I had to pay $29.95 to buy this gun. At least it looked new. Steve White

Wow. Nice revolver. Accurate, sturdy, and fun. Thanks Buds for another quality purchase.

I purchased this item simply to have another .357 chambered firearm to match my Henry. I absolutely love this revolver and would highly recommend! It is very smooth, little recoil, very accurate, and you can't beat the price! Best unplanned firearm purchase ever!

Love my Taurus M66. It is a very good revolver for the price. I love shooting it. Have put 500 rounds through it and functions great. I did swap out the rubber grips for wood grip. Not because the grip is bad but because I love the look of a revolver with wood grips. I am very happy with my purchase. Very sturdy gun built like a tank and very accurate. You won't be disappointed if you purchase one. Can't beat it in the price range it is in.

Great overall experience fun buds, my 10th firearm purchase from Buds. Weapon works well, I recommend getting matte black! The stainless looks cool, yet the cleaning and staining from the carbon, not worth it. .357 shells hard to extract, shot 100 rds, most .38 spc . Works fine, had to adjust sights even at 6yds out the box. Having that extra 7 Rd comes in handy. So 5 stars, my own fault I bought stainless. Rubber grip amazing, similar to my model 65, in matte black. My 5th Taurus, and stand by the brand! Buds has done it again with yet another 100% satisfied customer!

Great gun for the money! Can't beat Buds!

I was very excited to get this gun at a great price from Bud's. Transaction was fast and seamless - as usual from Bud's.
I inspected the gun very closely when I picked it up and was satisfied with the condition. Appeared to never have been test fired.
POSITIVES:
First, the gun feels great in my hand (I'd say I have a size XL hand) - I feel like i have great control with the factory rubber grips. Recoil is very minimal. Overall appearance is well, well worth the money. Sights were wayyy off when i got it but that's not a deal breaker. Trigger has a great feel to it - not too firm but not overly weak either - and breaks very nicely and predictably in both single and double mode. Definitely a fun gun to shoot at a great price and I feel very confident shooting/handling the gun which is a giant win in my book. I got a 4" barrel and it's perfect for what I'm using it for. Very happy with the overall function and looks of the gun.
NEGATIVE:
First time I shot the gun with .38SP FMJ the cylinder locked up after 4 rounds. Had to open it up and manually index the cylinder in order to get it to move at all. Reloaded the cylinder with new rounds, same thing happened. Emptied the gun, loaded with .357 HP rounds. Same thing happened. Opened it up, replaced with fresh .357 and the same thing happened. This is not ok.
Finally got Taurus to respond and I'm sending it in to be serviced - at a 12 week turnaround.
I'm confident that Taurus will send me a gun that is repeatable (which is why I bought a wheel gun in the first place), but online research shows me that this happens pretty frequently on their revolvers. I know a Gp100 is $250 more, but knowing what I do now I'd probably suck it up and get the Ruger. We're talking about self defense guns here - not can openers or weedeaters. Pull the trigger....go bang every time is what i was looking for.
This is obviously NOT a reflection on Bud's. Normally I don't write a negative review but i feel this needs to be shared due to the nature of the problem. Pretty disappointed. Hopefully it turns out well and I'm just out a couple months and a little headache. I will say, it'll take many many successful rounds of shooting before i consider this gun "reliable" as a self defense piece.

Took little longer to ship, understandable douring the holiday's.
Gun looks and feels as expected.
Lowest price by 100 bucks comparing to any other dealer
Buds gun shop in my opinion remains to be solid choise when purchasing firearms online.

First, this was my first time ordering from Buds and the experience was outstanding. Easy, no hassle, very efficient. Now for the Gun: Taurus model 66 SS, 4 inch, WOW!!! Have wanted a revolver for some time, but my retired budget just didn't work for the price of a GP100 and especially a S&W 686 or 66. So, how to get bang for the buck, quality, and my first revolver. The Taurus 66; adjustable sights, SS, 4 inch, nice weight, priced right, 2 clicks on the sight and dead on target. WOW !!!! This revolver is really nice. Shooting 38 special is a piece of cake. It does handle .357 mag, but you do get a sting in the palm on every shot, of course I am over 65, so that could be the issue. So, replace the original grip with a hogue rubber grip to help. Even with the sting, a fun gun to shoot and very accurate. I love it.

Bud’s comes through again. Easy transaction, great price, and fast shipping. Taurus revolver looks good and shoots great. Don’t hesitate.

I bought a Taurus 357 in 1991 and carried for work for 4 years . I really liked it and it worked flawlessly , unfortunately I sold it in 1995 which I have always regretted . The trigger was smooth and I was very accurate with it . I have been looking for a 7 shot 357 for some time now and read numerous reviews . A popular brand and more expensive one had lots of bad reviews and even one of the other Taurus models had some problems , but this one seemed to be more consistent that it was better quality . I have to say I like the classic older model look which is clean and the stainless steel finish is very nice . I have only taken to the range once with some other new purchases and it performed well . I need to get more practice to get where my sweet spot is with it . I really like the grips and everything is put together tight , no wiggles or bad fit and finish . I have another 357 by another company and the trigger on it is way to heavy in double action , this one is just right . Taurus makes a great revolver for half the price of most . I would definitely recommend . I am looking forward to many years of faithful service from it .

Excellent handgun! I never thought a revolver could be this much fun. Well made. Feels good in the hand. Handles buffalo bullets without a problem. Definitely recommend.

This gun is in a bed holster in my bedroom. Seven shots with .357 magnum Should get me to the shotgun and AR on the other side of the room. The gun itself I find to be one of my favorites. It is a quality gun I find it as good as many that cost far more. Of course Buds does what is their norm and I had the gun in just a short time.

I was looking for a beefy tool to carry while on the ranch (8-10 times a year) and this is perfect. The price point allows me to not worry about knocking it around a bit while working or playing. Four guys handled and shot it over the weekend and all loved it to the point of asking the model number and where I bought it. Any slight worry I had about buying a lesser priced revolver are gone after handling, carrying, and shooting it.
