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???
Taurus are no longer importing their LBR's? I don't understand that one, as the competitions are beginning to take off. I have a .357 and a .22lr Taurus, I hope we can get parts for them!
I could always use my .357 Ruger Super Redhawk but it's so damn heavy after a couple of rounds of PP1 I'm knackered!
Its not Taurus. The UK importer is no longer in business. I have not heard of anyone taking over. Plus Taurus to UK import took ages and due to the limited market the cost of the LBR's kept rising. When they first came out they were about £500 last year £799.
Well in one word an abomination. However since handguns were banned in 1997 there is an overall length rule of 24" and a minimum barrel length of 12". Semi autos other than .22lr are also prohibited. Basically this is a .45 ACP delayed blow back pistol, if you can call it that. Its not semi auto as when the trigger is pressed the round fires cycling the action back. The lever on the right above the trigger then must be pressed with your thumb to send the slide forward and a round into battery. Its all we can legally have in regards of a proper pistol
£1.38 ($2.07) a litre or £6.27 (£9.42) an imperial gallon. Only advantage I can find is our gallons are bigger than yours.
