Mine is a Taurus .357 mag with a 4" barrel. I am an engineer by profession and training and the Taurus sure looks like a well made weapon to me; although I don't know much about gun manufacture. I understand that the Taurus that I have was made in Brazil from Beretta machine tools and design. Nice gun, very crisp.
Beautiful pic of the leather holster. Who makes it?
I had to go look again to be sure if the picture was with a Bianchi or Safariland as I have had several and big as Dallas I forgot it was an old Smith&Wesson branded holster .
I think the Taurus is a pretty good gun myself . They look and feel quite a bit like a Smith . I definately would not get rid of that one even if you get a .45 ACP . The Taurus is not being chased by people who have just always wanted a Smith or think the name makes them shoot better , or the true collector . I am not putting any of those people down . all are good reason . My point is I bet what you would get in cash is far below the actually value as a user and you might be giving away a nice piece , without much help to getting ypou into a .45 or What ever .Ever considered a shoulder holster ? It is about the only way I feel adequately concealed with a revolver over 4” and I don’t care for barrels any shorter . I would carry that Taurus until I had shot and understood the features and benefits of every gun you are considering . Here is the real deal if you want to look at fine shoulder rigs . I avoid anything but leather myself . I don’t mind a little blue rubbed from honest carry and use , in fact it gives the guns character . But some of those cordura were pretty abrasive . By the way , the Taurus 4” .357 is maybe my choice even over my .45s if I could have only one gun . Very versatile IMHO .
