Taurus model 44
 

Hello, I just joined up. I've been viewing this forum for awhile and have learned allot. My first post is a question about Taurus revolvers. I just purchased a Taurus model 44, .44 mag. This isn't a ragging bull, but a slimmer verision. I haven't gone to the range yet so I don't know how it'll shoot. It handles nice, good balance and the sights line up quick. Does anyone else have feedback on Taurus revolvers. I worry about it holding up. I've owned Ruger and Smiths. I plan on using it huntin next month so I'll be doin allot of trigger time at the range with it in the next couple of weeks.

well i first want to welcome you to huntchat and i hope to hear from you more, but about the taurus revolvers i haven't shot a big caliber gun but i have shot a 9 shot .22 and it is an amazingly accurate gun. it would do a number on a rabbit or too but i don't know anything about the .44

Lone wolf has one and has shot deer with his.
Taurus stands behind what they sell so i dought you wont be happy.
Taurus realy steped up when smith sold out to the gun grabers
I have a pt92 it will do every thing the berreta will do at 100 dollers cheaper with a better warrenty.

I have a PT101 .40S&W, and a (i think) model 66 Taurus .357

both are good firearms, andi have had no problems with either.

the PT101 i have had since 1992, with probably 10-12k rounds through it.

the .357 i have had since 1996 i believe, and roughly 3k rounds through it with no problems.

Thanks for the feedback, sounds good so far. I'm headin to the range tomorrow. I'll let you know how it goes.

Made it to the range today. The Taurus performed well. The ejector started getting sticking after a hundred rounds, but only with PMC ammo, I switched to Winchester white box and some speer and it worked fine. The accuracy was dead on and the grip and factory porting made shooting pleasant enough. Nice gun.
