hey

one of our members at my club at falked out £2000+ for a smith & wesson lbr from their custom shop! smith are better qaulity revolvers however is it really worth paying out over £2000?
would the taurus lbr last a life time as well ??? (maby with some minor parts replacing over the years) or will the taurus eventally give up and break over a say 10-13 years time???

i have the taurus lbr and mine is pretty good example, no burrs inside and very slick trigger

There are a couple of thing so think about here. Yes £2K is a lot of money. However all UK spec smith and wessons are from Germany custom shop. Taurus are no longer imported to the UK. I have three for different competitions, god only know that I am going to do for parts it they brake as Taurus wont ship to the UK and all the RFD's are out of stock. If you intend to compete the lock time on a Smith is faster than a Taurus. There are not the same double action pull issues but it is still £2K. Having shot on he circuit for 4 years Smiths win in 1500 matches and speed steels. If your only shooting PP1 and PP2 if you can get a Taurus buy one

but will taurus last the distance (some parts replacing is expected) like other quality revolvers or do they only have a limited life such 10 years or so where they break or fall apart???
