I've owned 7 semi-auto pistols in the last 4 years, but haven't gotten around to a revolver until today. I decided on a Taurus 85 Ultra-Lite .38 special. Aluminum and stainless steel.
I've had the revolver bug really bad for the last few days and just decided to go out and get one today. It was a tough choice between the Taurus 85 UL and a Ruger SP101. I considered the Taurus 85 Titanium model, but the weight difference didn't seem worth the $ to me.
I decided to get a small light 2" .38 today, and get a 4" .357 later (probably a used S&W 686).
It's great to finally have a revolver in the collection. I shot it at the range today and it was 100% reliable. The finish looks great and everything seems to lock up tight. Recoil was less than I expected and the gun was very controllable and accurate for such a short barrel.
I'm very impressed with this little gun.
