I purchased this Taurus 85 because I enjoyed the one I already had for the past 5 years. I was a bit disappointed that the product I received was not even close to the quality of pistol that Taurus had previously made. I didn't mind the black matte finish.
Additionally...the cylinder chamber release is not smooth at all. The spring in the cylinder chamber is way too tight and almost always requires 2 hands to release and open the cylinder...and instead of a flat headed push plunger...Taurus replaced it with a round headed plunger which tends to cause the cylinder rod to hang up rather than a smooth release.
I was so disappointed with the cylinder release that I called Taurus and was going to ship it back for repairs...and the service rep was kind and polite and asked me to give it a little time to break in... After carefully examining and comparing this 85 to the one I already own...it was apparent to me that this isn't even close to the same quality of gun... In other words there's no need to send it back...it ain't broken...it''s just a poorly made weapon compared to the 85 they used to sell.
