I just sold my last Taurus, a model 94. It also recently arrived from the service center due to a stuck extractor. Anyway, I was using it as a trainer for my soon-to-be 10 year old but he could not manage the stiff double action and would tilt the barrel in frighteningly unsafe directions while trying to cock the hammer so I traded it in for a Buckmark.
Good gawd, dudenal, never subject a kid to the torture of trying to competently manage a junk firearm. It's junk. Glad to hear you got rid of it, though.
