Taurus Tracker 5-shot.

I just bought one, but I agree that the frame might be a bit light for true magnum loads.

Looking forward to putting mine through the paces with some moderate loads. It's very light, quite compact and good to handle. I did replace the 'ribber' grips with a Hogue Monogrip, just because I don't like the looks of the ribber. Other than that, it's a very nice looking handgun, too. Mine is the blued version

(And before the Taurus bashing begins, I bought it because one of my two main hunting revolvers is the Taurus M44, which has been with me for many seasons of miserable weather, and has accounted for most of my handgun-killed deer. I mainly bought the Tracker to accompany on archery bear hunts in Maine, a job which my 629-4 used to do -- before I sold it. I know many here aren't fans, but I'm a big fan of Taurus and have owned nothing but reliable guns, including the M44, a snubbie 651B in .357, and the new Tracker.)
