Taurus CIA?

[fightingquaker13]

Can't speak for the 4" CIA, but for a bobbed, shrouded, otherwise long pull trigger, it is a long, albeit smooth pull. The mechanics have take up to rotate the cylinder, and the break is predictable, and consistent, every time.

Your right, it's no Colt Match Grade. Neither is my Kel-Tec. Best guess is a 6-8+ pull. but for a Taurus, whether mousegun, snub, or 4" it is a SD pistol, not a tack driving match pistol.

It simply works, considering, the long pull "is" the safety, for a SD or carry pistol, that's a good thing. One can always tweak it, fluff & buff it, but it's a Taurus. It will go bang when pulled. If drawn for SD, when a BG is in your "space" 4,6,8 # won't even be relevant, as long as it works.

"IT" guys, web designers, make websites....not nitty gritty details of what discerning folks want to know.

Thanks TW. And the thing is I agree. I don't expect a Rolls Royce at Ford prices. What chaps me is not teling me the facts. One of the many things I admire about kel-tec, though I'm not their number one fan, is that they put their cards on the table. I just wish Taurus did as well. Hell, I WANT to buy the gun, I just want precise specs before doing so, not gobbletygook like "smooth". If the trigger heavy, say so. I'll deal. Anyway, if the auction ends cheap, I'll own one, if not I'll buy a Bond, but it is does seem like a nice gun. I just shake my head at marketing guys who make me less likely, rather than more likely, to buy their product. There is such a thing as being too smart for your own good. Note to Taurus: gun guys generally have a low BS threshold. Just give us the facts. You'd think they'd have clued in on that earlier.

It does need a Hi-Vi front sight, FWIW, its a snub. When I posted my new addition post last summer, I took it apart. There was metal shavings, in the internals, and were promptly flushed out. Made a big difference.

Thankfully, photobucket has a great bit of storage.



This very thorough cleaning, and some TLC, made the bone on bone trigger pull, with several range trips/ break-in, and field tests, a pistol I trust.

I carry it often, put a dash of white nail polish on the front sight, and that's it.

Precise specs are hard to come by, I have stumped more gun shop employee's than I can count,....; thanks to this forum, the folks here I talk to personally, and my own research, I make my own decision, and it has proven successful.

The K.I.S.S. method works. Combat accuracy, everytime I shoot, is better than cloverleafs on paper when I'm shooting well that day, at a range.

To FQ,.... your right, most gun owners, potential buyers, etc,.. ARE getting more savvy, knowledgeable, and particular. They are not blindly buying a firearm because it made the cover of a magazine, or "somebody" thinks it's cool.

Folks like Michael Bane, are an honest advocate to our quest to just get the "skinny" without bias or prejudice, even a forum sponsored firearm. Listening to MB, proves it. If "x" firearm has an "issue" or feature worth criticism, he'll let it be known. Just like here. Many fellow members here at DRTV, thankfully and honestly, do the same. It has helped me acquire not the $1500 super gun, but a nice cost effective Taurus that works, and others along the way.

Best of luck on your auction FQ, hope it works out in your favor.

FQ, the part of the trigger your finger goes on has no lines machined in it, it has no checkering, it is smooth

D'oh!!!

Under tech details, it describes the the trigger as, and I'm not making this up, "smooth". Seriously. Trigger: smooth. What were they going to say, rough and uneven? How about 5 pounds, 8 pounds etc.? What the hell is smooth?

FQ, the part of the trigger your finger goes on has no lines machined in it, it has no checkering, it is smooth     

+1...."smooth" means the trigger doesn't have the grooves or serrations that many target revolvers have....doesn't have a thing to do with trigger pull.

One thing I've noticed is that Taurus seems to do well with models that have been out for several years...and the 85/605 revolvers have been out almost since Taurus' beginning....as MB says, it's "debugged" technology....

The Taurus 605 was my first handgun purchase 7yrs ago and still my preferred carry choice.  I have thousands of round thru the gun and has only required minimal maintainence.
