Anyone have experience or thoughts on this new addition?

It looks light weight enough to jump completely out of your hand when fired. LOL

Well it's not as ugly as the Ruger LCR

Actually this model is heavier than the LCR and the Smiths.

Glad to see someone is finally ripping off Rugers. Rather than Ruger ripping off Keltec.

then why would you want a plastic gun if you can get a metal one that is lighter and cheaper?

They offer a poly and SS model that I like that is also lighter than my SP101 and SR9c. I also one saw at the Gun Show that felt good and was priced at $349., that's pretty cheap imo. Plus,I don't care for the LCR or Charter's and the S&W's are too pricey.

Looks like a good buy, poly and SS would also be corrosion free.

I am not sold on plastic revolvers. I carry a Smith and Wesson model 36 that was made over 40 years ago and it still shoots great.Plastic revolvers must be cheaper to manufacture than a real revolver. Since you did ask for thoughts and not opinions, I will not say what I think about Taurus. Taurus International Malfunctioning makes some really cool weapons. I here they are coming out with a carbine with 35 round magazines. I am always interested in Taurus firearms and I have not given up on them.

id have to pass.......Metal or hit the bricks,esp Taurus

[kieefer]

OK, opinions are fine too. I've never owned one and haven't read many complaints.

[Guest tommy62]

I like the looks (except the one's with the simulated wood grips). Been thinking about a poly revolver for awhile now. Will have to check one out.

[Guest oldslowchevy]

really my only concern would be long term durability, that is not just for this gun but all "plastic" guns. i wold like to see one that is 30+ years old that is fired often though it's life dropped a few times been though exteme heat and cool cycles ect.
