Staying sharp with the snubs

mk70ss · July 25, 2023, 12:28 PM

Took a few of my .38 Special snubs to the range today. I carry them every so often. Just staying sharp with them. My favorite is this old Taurus Model 85.

@mk70: Thank you. I enjoyed your post and picture. What a great country we live in, where we allowed to own those guns and can participate in such activities. (At least for now, anyway, but that's a different topic.)

There are many Taurus bashers, and some of the complaints are certainly legitimate, but I think the discontinued Taurus series "80's" revolvers were some of the best to hit the market. I have an 83. The fit and finish rivals any smith & wesson, and it has been 100% reliable.
