Its my second Taurus .357 snubby. I bought it for the looks but love it more now than the day I bought it. $379 for the stainless new out the door.
I called Taurus yesterday (6/4/13) to see what grain .357 to use in this gun, 110, 125 or 158. They said I could shot all grains. Surprisingly the 110 (fastest) has the least kick. I gave the tech my serial number and he said I could also shot .38 Special +P which makes me wonder why others warn against this. Hmmm???
