Looking for ideas from the group on this. I Just got a Taurus 608,
(.357, 4" bbl) 250 rounds through it so far and liking it a lot!
However, while the gun is built on a large Smith type "N" frame made to handle 44 mag, I notice Taurus only starts putting front frame lock-up latches (aka detents) on the 454 Casull line.
They also seem to be using them in the Tracker Titanium line too.
I've read all the ad hype about holding the crane and cylinder more ridgid at two points during actual firing, but I'm wondering if there's any real practical advantage to getting this mod done? As hefty as this frame is, there's not much movement at the front; of course I'm not seeing what's going on during "blast-off" either.
My Ruger SP-101 in .38 Spl has a double latch mechanisim, and I suspect being built on a much lighter frame, it probably benifits from this.
Is it worth getting a front latch put on? Thoughts, Ideas, suggestions anyone.
Thanks,
John
