The following are older model taurus revolvers and I'm considering purchasing one of them as target shooting weapons:
1) Taurus model 83 4" barrelled .38 blued
2) Model 66 6" barrelled stainless steel 6-shot .357 magnum
3) Model 669 6" barrelled stainless steel 6-shot .357 magnum
All are NIB and the lockup appears to be tight. What is the experienced quality of the above guns from you guys who have owned them in the past or present? Can I expect at least 10 years of trouble free shooting if I run 450 +P .38 special rounds through each gun EVERY MONTH?
The gun dealer tells me that that were built on machinery acquired from S&W when Taurus was related to the former. He insists that I am buying S&W quality with a Taurus price tag.
