Hello all. I am brand spankin' new to this forum. My PT 145 has been in the shop for an extended period of time and I am looking for a replacement summer carry weapon. I originally thought that another compact .45 autoloader would be a good idea, but since I already have one (if they ever send it back) I'm thinking that a revolver would be a nice addition.
Anyway, I've looked around on the Taurus website and there are many nice revolvers to choose from. Perhaps too many! I'd like something that is .357 or greater and not incredibly difficult to control. Weight isn't too much of an issue for me, so I'm thinking that stainless might help to bring the recoil down a bit. I'd like something relatively accurate up to 30-40 feet so Im thinking that a snub-nose might not be the best choice and a longer barrel will also help to bring the recoil down a bit. I'd love to have barrel ports to help keep it down as well (not to mention that I think they are pretty cool!). Finally, the thing needs to be decently concealable. I never wear IWB, so it'll generally be worn OWB.
Anyway, I figure that this is about the best place to get some good thoughts from people who probably actually own and carry a couple of Taurus firearms that fit the bill.
