THINKING ABOUT GETTING A TAURUS 454 6 1/2''. ANYBODY HAVE ONE? KNOW ANYTHING? HAD ANY ISSUES WITH IT? IMPUT WOULD BE GREAT.
There are alot of people who badmouth the various Taurus handguns (I assume you meant Taurus!). I have only owned one Taurus, a Raging Bull in .454 Casull. This particular example is every bit as good as the early S&W Model 29 (pinned 4-screw) that I used for three years in AK.
The Bull is accurate, and fit & finish are comparable to the S&W. I especially like the muzzle porting and cushioning grip design. Recoil with full-power .454 Ammo feels no worse than a standard .44 Magnum. I have a friend with one of the same guns. If anything, his is more accurate than mine, but mine will shoot into 3" at 100 yards from a sandbag rest.
