I have to agree with most of you all that the Taurus is not of the same caliber (sorry about the pun) as a S&W, Colt or maybe a Ruger.

That being said, I love my Tracker and my Ultra Lite .38 Snubbie. The action is not as smooth as my S&W M27 nor the Colt Python but for the price it can't be beat.
The shell casings sticking too was a problem but an electric drill, jewelers rouge and a gun cleaning mop smoothed the cylinder holes very nicely. Also, an India Stone and some polishing paper to the internal trigger mechanism (action) removed tooling marks and helped it out considerably. Still not as smooth as the S&W but it's getting there and it is a pleasure to shoot. So far no FTF's. Accuracy is not a problem.

Expect to do alittle work for the lower price but the quality of the material is fine.

Over all I am pleased.
