Other than this cylinder clearance issue, I have seen very good results from the ALL STEEL taurus revolvers. The ultralights have issues with cylinder pin and firing pin bushings breaking and seizing the revolvers, but their all steel revolvers are generally bombproof.
Personally, I would rather have a Taurus 65 than the Stoeger Cougar, and I'd rather have a .357mag over a 9mm for open carry, but to each his own.
