I got my shipping label right around news years day. I mailed gun out on January 5th. I called January 25th to follow up since I had no heard anything and was told gun would need to be replaced and was offered a Taurus 65. I accepted offer since I sent in a blued 4 inch 357 and they offered same in return. Was told gun was back ordered and they didn't have a time frame for when mine would be shipped out. I called back February 8th to follow up and was told gun had been shipped out on Friday. I picked up new gun yesterday.

Overall I did like the Rossi better. Grip felt more comfortable and I'm having some issues with thumb cylinder release button sticking. I'll put a few rounds thru the gun this weekend and give it a good cleaning and see if that helps.

Just need to wait on the $50 check now.

UPDATE: Cylinder doesnt open easily at all so this gun is going back to Taurus. Very disappointed with new handgun.
You should of got a real "blued" Taurus 66 as a replacement. The 65 now is their bottom of barrel. No adjustable sights like your 971.
 
I put a used 462 on layaway not knowing about the recall. Beautiful gun and in good condition BTW. I've two questions. If you had it to do all over again would you still send it back? Those of you who kept the gun, do you believe you made the right decision?
