Smith and Wesson does make a fine looking 22 mag but it is twice the money as the Taurus. Doesn't look twice as good and I doubt if it shoots twice as good.

The S&W is twice as good in component quality, metallurgy, fit and finish.
I have waited TWO years for a warranty fix on a Taurus. Two years. I will not carry any new firearms from them and will not be involved in any service/warranty issue with them.
I do this for a living. You can save a little cash and shoot your Taurus. Just don’t bring it to me when it’s broke.
