Well, now you know why I go by Old Newbie. The two revolvers I owned before the Armscor came into my possession were both Taurus - a model 85 that I bought in 2009 for self-protection, because the neighborhood was (and still is) going downhill; and a model 82 that I bought because I wanted to shoot a handgun well at longer ranges than a snubby could really do. I got my CCW and a membership at a local range, took up reloading to save money on my hobby, read a lot of books by Ayoob and others, and went to practicing. But I'm still a newbie at the historical aspects and the heritage, such as in your comment, and which I am very interested in. The finer points like that, are just why I come here.
Just wanted to say, thanks Aguila!
