I love the .45 LC. It's right up there with the .44 mag on my list of favorites.Is there any snub nose (2.5inch or less barrel) double action 45LC out there?
As others have said, Taurus did make a .45LC only snub, but as with most of their guns people are interested in, they no longer make it. Taurus releases and discontinues so many guns that if there's anything, and I mean ANYTHING, of theirs that they are currently producing that isn't one of their common models (PT111, Judge, Model 85, etc. ) that you have even an inkling of interest in, buy it now.
Nope, makes sense now why they were almost giving them away a couple years ago."Psst. You do know they discontinued their bread-and-butter .38 snub, the Model 85, don't you?"

Well, just goes to show I'm right that Taurus is in the hype, release, discontinue business model.
While it's nice to have, a 6 shot cylinder is thicker than 5, not as small/comfortable to carry concealed. Would have been great if Taurus made both and let people choose the one they want more.They replaced the Model 85 with the reintroduced Model 856. 6 shot cylinder instead of 5 shot.

.357 means higher price. Not significantly higher in price, but still higher.They still have the 605 (5 shot .357 small frame).

I don't care for .357 in a 2 inch barrel anyway. Anything under 3.5 inches of barrel would be better off being a .327.
