Not the most accurate and hung up a few times on some cheap ammo. But running high quality ammo, it's pretty reliable.

Good concealed carry revolver. Super light, which makes it a little snappy but all in all, a great budget pocket piece.

Great shooting! Have shot over 200 rds in it and the sights are great. Only problem I had was when shooting it in single action twice in a row. It seemed to lock up for a split second. Otherwise it shoots smoothly double action and the grip is great.

Pretty snappy due to the polymer frame, but reliable. It’s a great pocket gun for the winter in a big coat, and good for close quarters. I wouldn’t try to get accurate shots past 5 yards with it, but I would use it for self defense in certain situations. Great fun for throwing in the leather vest on the motorcycle.

So far, so good. Has had about 50 rounds through it and not a single issue.

I like Taurus and I like Buds. The gun is awesome it's light and it looks great. I haven't shot it just yet but the price was very reasonable no complaints. FFL dealer is always great too. I choose JR Hunting And Shooting. Nice guy nice pets nice family. Very reasonably priced as well. I can't wait to get more toys from Buds. Best prices around. Thanks again everybody.

I got my m85 poly a couple weeks ago finally took it to the range and for a snub nose it's a very accurate At 7 and 10 yards very dependable weapon I will be using it for my concealment and carry I just absolutely luv this weapon

Although the grips on this gun take a bit of getting use to, the gun is solid and is accurate out to 25 feet. The trigger pull is very good at 4.5 pounds.

Cylinder release button is a bit tight. Not recommended for pocket concealed carry. Holds five .38 special rounds. Feels great in the hand and the orange front sight is perfect! Great budget snub revolver.

IMO a very well made gun. It's tight, light and has a nice finish. Trigger pull in DA is good....lighter than my 357 GP100 in DA. SA is light for the Taurus. I almost purchased one of the other 85 series gun but at last minute realized that this gun had a font sight that I would be able to see against a black target. I didn't buy for target practice but when I do put 15 rounds down range I like to be able to aim rather than point and shoot. Buds was quick and easy to make purchase. A great place to buy guns and/or supplies.

The revolver is great shoots good only thing I not crazy about is the grip a little to agressive but for a gun that cost so little it is great

I love my Taurus protector it is a great carry weapon. I have taken it to the range twice and it performs great. Another great experience with buds.

I purchased a Taurus 85plyb2fs m85 5rd. 38sp+ p2'' Fit & finish is very good, has ribbed barrel w/neon sight,has very comfortable Rubber grips, looks great shoots great. I wish you would notify me when the 357 is in stock.

Everything I hoped it would be. Unfortunately I needed to file down a portion of the cylinder ejector so it would close without forcing it. Otherwise 5 stars

Not to the fault of Buds, who's excellent service got the firearm quickly to me. The Taurus 85 turned out to be a bad product (despite being factor new). It has to be returned to Taurus for either repair or replacement. After receiving the gun from my FFL, future inspection of the gun revealed that the trigger transfer bar was loose and rattling as I shook the gun, which is not normal. The hammer also, after closer inspection, stuck at half cock, and refused to move at first, I was the able to move the hammer backward and then back into safe mode. I have a number of Taurus handguns, all which have been okay. This was the first to be a major problem, and I am hoping Taurus would not fiddle around, and fix the gun and return it quickly.

Everything I expected. Buds does another fine job.

I have Put 100 rounds Down range with this firearm so far. I bought this for my daily carry I absolutely love it. Buds is great this was my second purchase from bud's and will not be my last

Not good quality. Had good wear ring on cylinder from being dry fired. On further inspection parts where frame mated were sloppy and almost looked glued. I wish I would have inspected better at my FFL before accepting item. There is also currently not a laser available for this gun. My fault for not being more thorough in my research and inspection of gun. Would have thought I would have received better. Still a Buds customer.
