Default RE: Good handgun???

Stay away from the Taurus 607, 7-shot .357 Mag. I thought I had to have one, learned the hard way. If you use any ammo above 38+P, the cylinder binds the cartridge head between the cylinder face and the receiver in the area around the firing pin opening. This is a result of the case swelling and gets pushed backwards. To eject the spent shells you almost need a deadblow hammer!

Gun Test published the same problem just months after I found out, wish I would have waited.
