That is the one aspect of Taurus mfg. I really get peeod about, they come out with something good and if they don't sell a cajillion of them right away they pull it from the product line.
Anyone in the firearms mfg. of handguns should have their ear tuned to the buying publics wants and dislikes. For the umpteenth time, we handgunners like big bore revolvers that shoot .41, .44, and .45 caliber bullets. We want good design, good accuracy and most important good reliabillity backed by a lifetime warranty.
One way to know if your product is still a good one, look at the auctions and forums classified ads, as to what is moving in those zones.
The S&W crowd is having a feeding frenzey on buying .44 and .45 caliber used guns that are no longer easy to find...prices are getting pretty rediculious in the I've gotta have it crowd.
It is also happening to the better Taurus big bore caliber revolvers. Come on Taurus get smart and make the better big bore revolvers.
