I HATE Taurus revolvers with a passion. Fit and finish compared to a Smith & Wesson, Ill take the S&W any day. I love shooting my S&W .357 Magnum, 7-rounds, and you dont have to search for brass that ejects.
A friend of mine bought a Taurus Titanium frame .38 and the finish pitted on the frame after a month. Never had an issue with my S&W. Every Taurus I’ve held has play in the magazine too.
Short barrel .50 magnum = hot
