This gun is fabulous to shoot and own.it's fit, finish, quality and accuracy is outstanding, I would really like to know just how old it is. I have called the Customer Service Centre in Miami but since the gun was not imported into the US they have no records of it's year of manufacture.I have also contacted the Taurus Factory in Brazil 3 times via e-mail but sadly nobody has bothered to reply. to be a cheap trainer to get me to shoot the Python actually weighs more than the Python.smaller holes in the barrel and cylinder = more metal = heavier!.the grips are a beautiful dark wood, oiled finish with a thumb shelf.

The blueing is as good as my Python.and so is the lock up.the physical size of the gun is identical to the Python.that is why I bought it. 22 LR is unmarked and I would guess it has sat in somebodies gun cupboard and hardly ever was fired.still, another man's loss is my gain! I recently bought a second hand Taurus 6 shot revolver, 6 inch barrel, full under barrel lug, marked on the barrel is. If needed, law enforcement officials can then trace the number back to the original owner, or the owner serial number 1,500,000 was presented to president harry s. I am sure that Cost/Quality reduction was a consideration, much to the loss of shooters on a budget.Īnybody heard of a Taurus Model 96 Professional? While the Taurus model 94 looks nice, it is not anywhere close to the the older model 96. I'm not sure why Taurus discontinued this model, with Blued S&W k-22's in decent shape scarcer than hens teeth and going for over $600, and even 617's being hard to find. I would rate the condition of the finish as at least 98%. I paid $200, out the door, for this from a local pawn shop, which I think is a good price. revolvers.Īccuracy was equal to my K-22, being better than I can appreciate with my over 60 year old eyeballs. Fit and finish, while not on a par with a vintage S&W or Colt, is far superior to current production Ruger, Taurus, and Rossi. The timing on this is perfect, lock up is tighter than a bank vault, and the trigger pull is better than on my vintage S&W 17-3 (K-22). According to the Taurus website, it is 19 years old.
