I spent my first few posts on this forum asking for info on the taurus 650 .357 then my last few freaking out about my issue with it right when i got it. Soo... Finally got to take it to the range.
Along with the taurus i also purchased a Ruger SP101 3 inch stainless. The 650 is a 2 inch blue.
I have to say i am impressed. Shot about 150 .38 specials, 50 .357, and 25 .38 +p. the ruger i shot mostly SA but some double, and the taurus is hammerless DA only.
I was sure before i shot the 3 inch ruger was going to be the accurate one. And although i probably spent more time with the taurus since it will be my main carry gun, so i also probably got used to it more because of that, but i definately shot the taurus better. I dont know why, maybe it was even because i dry fired it much more, but at 20 yards that little DA 2 inch snub was hitting them all in a 5-6 inch head target on its first outing.
38 shot a little low so once i figured that out i was right in there. 357 was pretty much right on. 357 definately had some bite to it but nothing an average guy couldnt handle even with the very small factory grip.
The only small issue it had was it doesnt exactly eject the shells very well. Not hard but i had to pick the shells out by hand. Its brand new so maybe in time it will break i and shells will come out easier? Anyone know?
Im pretty happy. Not a single issue with either through about 5 different brands of ammo all shapes and sizes
