With regard to "feel", there really isn't anything to complain about. Quote:
With revolvers that use a transfer bar, firing pins are mounted in the frame. They have a little bitty return spring, to push them back into the retracted position when the trigger is released. It's possible for the firing pin spring to be damaged by dry firing. Taurus specifically recommends against dry firing without snap caps. My old late 80s vintage Tauirus 66 mashed more than one firing pin spring into uselessness, before I traded it off. I have not heard of this happening with other brands of transfer bar equpped revolvers, but I have heard of it happening with Taurui, and have had it happen to me.

Just to comlete the edumakashun posts, the trigger safety, almost exactly like the Glock/Sigma, was patented by H. M. Caldwell, Patent 561963, June 16, 1896, also assigned to Iver Johnson.
