Believe me Doc, I'm familiar with op principles and characteristics of both Da and SA revolvers, I just don't shoot them. I guess my post was confusing, I just mentioned cowboy guns in conversation since SA, preferably precussion guns are the only wheelguns that fascinate me. asked the question about the Taurus because I remember reading about a Ti frame seven shot in .357mag, wanted to know if anybody had exp. w/ them, good source, and good custom shops to work on it. Carry only, don't think shooting full power loads in a short barrel Ti will be too much fun, just looking for an ulra-reliable light rust-resistant weapon. Thank you for your help and any further ideas.
