Picked up my Taurus mod 415 41 mag with 21/2" barrel today. Went out back and shot ten rounds of Win 175gr Silvertips. No pain, no hurt, real nice grip. The true test will be Rem 210gr softpoints. The fit and finish is good to excellent. Had to put on my readin' glasses to see any slight blemishes. At thirty ozs this little piece should pack around real well out in the boonies. I know it wasn't much of a test but initially I'm impressed. About the only negative I can think of is holster availability. Best Regards, J. Parker
