First of all, as a new member, I'd like to let you all know that this is a very nice forum! Lots of cool info here. I did do a search for 689 revolvers but did not come up with any thing. I am looking for any input on the 689 revolver, experiences, etc!
I am looking at buying a used 689 blued with wood grips. ser # puts it at a 1993 construction. It looks like it is new and has a 5-6" barrel. Very tight lock up. Selling for 299.00.
1. Is this a good deal?
2. Is any time period better than others?
3. How is the accuracy?
4. How is the recoil and should I buy houge grips?
5. I did not see the 689 listed on Taurus's website. Are they still made? if not why where they discontinued?
6. Who made the design? Is it made on another companies used equipment?
As you can tell, I am a newbie when it comes to Taurus and revolvers. thanks for any info! 8)
