Taurus Revolvers?

[Piglatinhater]

Hey All,
I am looking at adding a Taurus model 85 (either the poly or all metal). Has anyone bought one in the last 5 years? Not really looking to hear horror stories from 20 years ago. How did you like it/what was your experience?

Been looking at these myself lately. Many, many YouTube vids on them. The vast majority positive reviews. Can't beat the price.

Bought 2- 85's and 1-605 bnib in the last 3 years ( get on Adventure Outdoors email list and watch for sales), and have owned many over the years. In my experience they shoot as reliably and as accurately as any of my S&W's or Rugers. Fit and finish and resale are different stories. That being the case, they don't cost a ton of money so you don't have a ton in them to lose. Go rent one and run it a few rounds.

One example:

M85 is $179 today at Alexander's. Cheap enough to try it out and if you don't like it post it here as a "package" for $350

I thought they were closed today?

I had a Poly protector. It was stolen from me. I'm looking to get another. It felt good in my hand, shot straight, never malfunctioned. They are +P rated.
