Analysis

This .22 Hornet caliber revolver offers a unique blend of precision and design for enthusiasts seeking something beyond typical handgun calibers. Its accuracy is noteworthy, especially at moderate ranges, making it a solid choice for small game hunting or target practice. The ergonomic grip fits comfortably in most hands, enhancing control during extended shooting sessions. Reliability is generally consistent under proper care, though it demands regular maintenance to prevent wear on internal components. However, sourcing replacement parts can be challenging, which may frustrate owners needing repairs. The trigger pull is smooth with a predictable break, aiding in shot placement, while the felt recoil is mild, suitable for shooters of varying experience levels. On the downside, the cleaning process can be intricate due to the cylinder design, potentially deterring those unaccustomed to detailed upkeep. Overall, it’s a specialized firearm with distinct advantages and specific care requirements.

Fun gun
By RunninNgunnin on 24 Jan 2020
Not really a defensive pistol however quite fun to shoot and maybe some pest control or small predator hunting. The caliber is what makes this not really a good defensive revolver. The gun itself are quite nice. Taurus really stepped up in quality over the past decade.
