Anyone here into firearms?

My wife has a snub nose Taurus .38 special that works like a dream. It's super light and great for carrying... but the .38 doesn't punch like a .357 would.

I have a Colt Trooper (.357)... I wouldn't carry it due to the size and weight, but it's a fantastic shooter and didn't break the bank. Taurus has come a long way with their quality over the years, but If I had to pick between a Colt and A Taurus when it comes to revolvers, I'd go with the Colt.

Just my $0.02.

Carrying doesn't matter to me because New Jersey. It'll see mainly range time. I'm just looking for something that's not going to **** up. I've heard mixed things about Taurus but this .357 is so tempting

Is it tempting because of the looks or because of the way it fires? Revolvers are one of the most reliable handguns you can get, so I wouldn't worry about the Taurus messing up during normal shooting.

The best advice (as always) is to shoot as many different models and makes as you can. The answer to which one is best for you becomes much easier after that. I used to think I really wanted a particular gun (based on looks and reviews mostly) and then when I actually shot it, I found that it didn't really work for my grip and shooting style. Hands on practice and range time are always going to be the best indicators of what works for you.

I have a Taurus 608 which is a 8 shot .357 mag revolver. Haven't shot it in forever because it is broken. The cylinder locks are weak on some Taurus revolvers.
