Have to admit, the 1st weekend I had it, i had to go out and try to break it, put 500 thru it with no malfuntions of anysort, wish I could have said that about a 686 I ahd back in the late 80's. It turned me off of Taurus for a while. Honestly, I liked the way the 140 fit in my paw. Might have my pops talked into one. Les
