I've read  a few reviews on this new pistol and am liking what I am reading and am seriously considering making this my next gun.

Can anyone give me some feedback on this gun? Who has one?

I'm now happily Taurus free.



617T




Titanium  357 7-shot snubby




Cylinder locked up. Shot 3 feet high & 2 feet left at 15 yards.




I sent it back to Taurus and they fixed it, but I didn't trust it. Plus, I finally accepted that I'm an auto man at heart.




Funshop just sold it on consignment.

No one has this gun yet? Not many Taurus fans here I guess.

Not many Taurus fans in the Taurus forum...........tells ya something, eh?




And I DO say that as a very happy owner of one Taurus revolver, the thing has been great.



The model you ask about is fairly new, I can understand how there aren't many owners out there to give reviews yet.

I have a friend who has a an 809.  He hates it.  It doesn't fire about 10% of the time.  The firing pin hits the primer but not enough to cause it to ignite.  He sent it back to Taurus and after some run around 8 weeks later they sent him a new gun.  Here's a video of someone else having the exact same problem with the same gun:
