Here is Range Review 3 from todays session.
Taurus 44 Special, Snub nose, bobbed hammer, 5 Shot, used: The load here is 240g LSWC and a moderate+ charge of Power Pistol with hard CCI primers. Just as accurate as the two autos above and not near as much recoil as the Charter Bull Dog I used to have. Not a pleasure to shoot in long sessions, 50 rounds is plenty but with the rubber grips its controlable. Cylinder movement is a bit stiff so I think polishing the guts is in order but a bit of lube on this used revolver may be all it needs. I was able to stack the trigger for let off - its stiff enough the pull is a bit harder in the first half than in the last half. Not quite what I expected. I suspect this one could also benefit from a reduced power trigger return spring. I did find out, reloads in this and the Charter Bull Dog better be heavily crimped to keep from tieing up the cylinder on shot 4 or 5. Opinion: Just what I've always expected from Taurus, solid, reliable, reasonably accurate and a good value for the money. I'll continue to buy them.
Happy Independence Day. Stay Sober and pray for our Troops.
