TAURUS 817

[Dave]

I shot my new Taurus 817. The trigger action is smooth and not at all heavy. I replaced the smaller factory grip with a Hogue Mono Grip. The gun shoots good. Being close to 2lb. It handles 38 ammo very well. Even +P ammo was no big deal. This will be my waistband gun for a while with a J-Frame in my pocket.

I have had good luck with Taurus. Only issue I had was a broken ejector on a PT111.
If you don't know Taurus well getting a part from them is not going to happen.
Plus, if I sent it in they would not fix it and give me something else I didn't want.
Found a parts kit on Gunbroker to fix it.

I'd be putting some locktite on that cylinder release screw. Taurus revolvers haven a habit of those loosening up.

I owned a ported raging bull 44mag years ago. Shot well with no issues. Just shot a snubnosed taurus 357mag the other day. Don't know the model number, 2" bbl and a 5-shot. It belongs to a friend that was her husbands. He passed away and she never shot it. Beautiful revolver, like new. It's wayyyyyyy too much gun for her with 357mags in it. Gave her a bunch of 38spl's.

That taurus will serve you well.

This is my 14th Taurus Revolver. I've had good luck with them. Bought parts once after I lost them in the woods. No problem getting them. Used the warranty for a couple repairs. One breakdown was their fault one mine. No problem with warranty repair. Another time I had a round that must have got a double charge. When it went off, I new it wasn't good. It ruined the gun. Taurus scrapped it and let me pick a replacement. FREE
