I'm going to appeal to people's restraint on this one:
Please only comment if you have personal experience of these models: I really want to stick to what is known to be true, rather than what people have "heard" or what they want to believe.
And being Taurus, I know this can be a difficult one to deal with.
What are your experiences (good or bad) of owning/shooting/working on of either the .357 3" 605 revolver (5-shot) or.357 4" 627 Tracker revolver (7-shot)?
And before folks decide to ignore my question and jump in with alternatives:
No one imports Ruger in Estonia.
No one imports S&W in Estonia.
No one imports Korth or Kimber in Estonia.
And if they did, the prices would be almost certainly prohibitive (LCR .38 once seen on sale for €1050 or $1235!!)
Second-hand revolvers (that aren't Taurus) are uncommon.
If I decide to replace my Astra 2" snub .38 EDC with another, it would probably be one of these.
That's it: please share what you know so I can decide if this is a road I want to go down.
AND:
If you think, based on your experience of these models, change my Astra .38 for the 5 or 7 shot Taurus would be a bad idea, please help me understand why.
