I have an older 6" Taurus Model 66, that has been 100% reliable & extremely accurate. I often carry it as my CCW, and have absolutely no qualms about trusting it. I hesitate to guess how many rounds have gone down range from it, but I'm sure "many thousands" both .357, & .38 Spl.
My Son-in-law has the same Taurus in a 4" Bbl., a little older than mine. His has seen many more rounds than mine ! Both are still tight fitting & have excellent finish left. Working great, & looking very good. I'll keep my 66, & he'll keep his also. As for the newer Taurus products, I have had little interest in them. I'm kind of hung up on Rugers right now, especially my newer GP100 Match Champ !! Absolutely love this gun !!!! Can't get enough of it, as we take it everywhere we go. I am currently using it for CCW !
