I wanted this revolver...
I wanted this revolver for home defense and it fits the bill perfectly. Shoots accurately with mild recoil due to being all steel.

I received my Taurus...
I received my Taurus 357mg , love how it feels and looks, the only thing that is not up to par with it is how the safety works,I didn't know where it was just looking at the gun, till I read the instructions. I didn't realize this when I was checking it out on the pre purchase. It's just under the hammer and takes an Allen wrench that is supplied by the manufacturer, if you wear glasses, you can hardly find a hole if you lose your glasses you're screwed if it's locked. So far that is the only problem have with it. I haven't been able to shoot it yet. I would say I am 89% satisfied with the purchase.

Q: I am planning on getting a 4 inch as a carry weapon but am torn between the taurus and eaa . What are the pros and cons to both of these weapons?
Author: Adam S.
(1) ANSWER
A: Adam, they are essentially equal in feature, function and reliability. Taurus has recovered from some quality control issues from a few years ago and are in the running in the handgun categories again. I own and EAA snub 357 Windicator and a Taurus 5 Shot snub and like both equally well. If I absolutely had to choose, it would more than likely be the Taurus.
