Taurus model 82 in 38 special, 3" pencil barrel, fixed sights, and blue finish, surface rust here and there, and some rust in the forcing cone. Horrible double action, crisp but heavy single action. It was very accurate though. Had a bad firing pin in the hammer which Taurus fixed on their dime. Great place to start. You get good with the worst trigger out there over hundreds and hundreds of rounds, suddenly you look great when you have a good gun to use. Recently sold it, and I have to admit, I do miss it sometimes.
