After a week of delays because of July 4th and money order clearing... and FFL being closed for 3 days... Finally started Dros on the Taurus 605 my mom ordered for me.

Then their computers went down.

Then Sacremento's DOJ computers went down.


Aaanyway finally went through while I fondled the revolver and did the tests when buying a new revolver.

Looks like they updated the 605 since my mom's, the front latch is ontop of the yoke now where as hers is in the end of the shroud and locks against the extractor rod like older smiths.

The little revolver locked up like a solid piece of steel and cylinder timing was also perfect. Fit and finish is excellent too I couldn't find any difference in finish with a s&w 686 I compared it to. Taurus must be making te big changes I've seen on TaurusArmed's factory tour.

I'm sure it'll run great too, my mom's 605 has never missed a beat and she's been firing hundreds of +P through hers on accident.. (admittedly she isn't know what +P JHP meant...)

So - all doubts of receiving a lemon are gone.

I like Taurii.

The few examples I have owned seemed tighter than the competitions.
