My TaurusSS4 shows some damage after wildfires destroyed my home. The gun was in a safe; the grips melted but otherwise looks OK. Action and trigger seem fine. Would it be safe to use with a new grip? Any further recommendations?

As long as there was no actual metal structure damage, an the cylinder still rotates freely when pulling the triger, it should work just fine with a new set of grips. You can use these from Hogue  :  https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/16294/Hogue+RUBBER+GRIP+TAURUS+TRACKER

If I had any concerns with safety issues after inspecting it myself I would take it to a local gunsmith. If I felt everything was safe I would fire a round and see how it fired compared to before the fire. (Keeping in mind what power a .44 mag. has)Taurus would want you to send it to them and if it is unrepairable shipping would not be worth it especially to get it back.
