TAURUS TI .357 mag. question.......

[cjb]

I own a few Taurus wheelguns for carry. My two favorites are a 85UL and a stainless 605.
I was going to purchase a new Ti. .357 and retire my 605 until I realized that the new Ti. is a 7 shot. WHY would they make this gun a 7 shot ???? Does anyone carry one? Is the cylinder too wide? does it conceal well?
I wish they would have stuck with the 5 shot cylinder. Now I'm thinking of just sticking with the 2 I got or maybe buying a 85Ti. anyone have one of these? They are +P rated right?
Thanks for any available help!

Umm, my mom carries one I'm starting to carry my new .45 Colt version (5 shot) which has the same size cylinder...and it's not too big.

CJB,
I believe the cylinder as well as the FRAME is bigger on the 7-shooter. Stick with your 605... it's one of my favorites. I sqeezed the trigger of one the other day and it was incredibly smoothe. If you ever want to sell the 605, let me know.

The 7-shot titanium is going to be more expensive and potentially have harsher recoil.
