Purchased this product from Buds about three weeks ago, pistol arrived heavily oiled, with a smooth action and clean trigger pull. Finish was in good condition, i.e no scratches and was very uniform. HOWEVER the pistol I received was not what I would consider to be a glossy blued finish as indicated in the picture. Instead, my Taurus model 66B4 arrived with a matte black finish similar to a parkerized finish like is seen on most "black guns." I don't have any problem with the finish being different than expected because I don't anticipate this Taurus becoming a family heirloom, and although I prefer the aesthetics of a blued finish, I have found that parkerized finished are extremely durable, and for this firearm, I believe that to be an asset. I have fired 100+ rounds of 38 Special through this firearm and it has been exceptionally accurate with no misfires right out of the box. Sights did not need to be adjusted, and I was hitting 6" targets consistently at 20 yards freehand. SA trigger pull was lighter than my Dan Wesson .357, which I found hard to believe. DA trigger pull was lighter and smoother than my buddies DAO S&W .38 which we were also shooting that day. This pistol won't be winning any beauty contests, but I prefer the matte finish over blued for durability, and I prefer the matte black over matte stainless for concealability at night. I was a little nervous purchasing a Taurus, but the model I received has one of the best triggers I have ever fired, and the rest of the firearm seems very well made. Recoil from .38 rounds was almost non-existent. Solid. Accurate. Reliable.

I was able to get out to the range and let off some stress. The Taurus M66 rocks. Very accurate right out of the box. I'm very happy with this purchase and, I'm considering buying another.

Gun arrived quickly. Shot several 38's and 357's through it and it performed really well. Very satisfied with the product and Buds service.

Taurus Model 66 is a solid gun with great grips and a nice finish. The gun was delivered to my FFL within three days of my ordering it. It was heavily oiled out of the box, but after a quick cleaning I took it to the range and fired 50 rounds of 38 special through it with no problems. There was very little recoil using 38 special. True test will come when I put some +p and 357 rounds through it. The service from Bud’s was first rate!!

Surprisingly well built gun which shoots as well as many of the expensive Smith & Wesson's and Colts. Great revolver for the price.

Seems there is a very small area of abrasion in the upper grove on the left side of the barrel.
Other than that, the piece seems perfect. I'll be taking it to the range this weekend.
Thanks for the prompt service.
Looking forward to future orders.

I bought the Taurus Model 66 for my husband and he loves it, he has owned a Smith n Wesson 686 and said they both are great guns the only difference is the price. We give buds 5 stars this is the 5th gun we ordered and the service was great.

Picked up the model 66, 4 in, blue from my FFL. We both looked it over, revolver was packed well with a lot of oil and presumed it was in perfect condition. Upon cleaning the revolver it was noticed of which damage to the barrel crown/muzzle; looked as if someone had used some sort of implement on the muzzle crown.
Called BUDS, they said to call "Taurus". Taurus had FEDEX pick the revolver up and returned it to Taurus. Taurus had the revolver back in my hands within +/- 2 weeks and the muzzle had been repaired and looking good.
First impression at the range, sights were dead on target. Slight issue with the cylinder rotation with hot loads, hope to see if it loosens up a bit with more use.
Overall, nice .357. Handles well and point of aim seems natural; the rubber handgrip is a blessing with the "Hot Loads".
Taurus provided me with excelent customer service and the repair issue only cost me a bit of time without the revolver.
I would buy another TAURUS if the notion ever comes my way.
5 stars for TAURUS and their cutomer service.

A very nice gun at a great price. Buds shipping is FAST. The transfer dealer I used was good. I asked him to check the gun over for me before I accepted it. Neither one of us noticed the rear sight was loose... Can't wait to shoot this bad boy, I love window shopping at the big, high-priced sporting goods stores, then ordering what I want online and saving over $100 Thank you Buds
