85 UL or Not?
How can one tell if a Taurus 85 is an Ultra Lite or not? I bought a NIB one about 6mo ago, the box says the Model # is 2-850029UL and the serial number on the box & revolver match. I assumed the UL meant it was an Ultra Lite, but unlike other 85 Ultra Lites I have seen, Ultra Lite is not inscribed on the side of the revolver. :???:
Is this just another way Taurus is trying to confused everyone, similar to what they did on the Mill Pro line?
It's not a big deal either way as I got a nice little revolver that shoots just a well as any 2" snubby does, and I got it at a good price, but I am curious about the missing Ultra Lite on the side.
