I’ve had several snub noses 38’s and a 605 357 myself, never had a problem with them. They all shot good, accurate. I just saw these 22 LR with the 2” barrel on sale I liked for the price.I’d like to have one , but I’m 22 poor
Just curious if anyone here owned one or had shot one.Im picky on accuracy on a handgun.
I like the looks of the 3” barrel too, probably be a little more accurate.
I would be concerned about how the sights are regulated if accuracy is you "aim."
Most guns now are a combat hold. That is not ideal for me as prefer "point of aim." AT least for plinking

A friend of mine has one and likes it. It fairness, she rarely shoots it though.

Let us know how it works out for you.

Every time I see this post I see “charging”. Are y’all plugging in your guns every night so they’re ready for the next day?
Now that you mention it....there should be a USB charging port on the bottom of the pistol grip. Guess Kimber got cheap and left that off mine.

The third review said it fit the owners 617. Might want to ask the manufacturer to make sure.
As to mounting a "optic" on a revolver......meh.....unless you are in competition,. Even then consider what holster would fit it first.
jmo--am entitled to it!

As much as a 1911 45 acp lover that I am, would go for the 9mm CZ.
Short barrel 45's just don't get the velocity to expand properly. Yeah, the 45 is more energy, but would rather have the faster moving 9mm projectile which seems to expand more reliably.
And heresy of heresies, I feel more comfortably carrying a pistol with the decocker as opposed to a "cocked and locked" 1911.

What bothers me is that you say new ammo won’t fit in gauge. Has to be some debris or preservative in the gauge chamber.
-
I would try reassembling to see if it functions. If it does try takedown again.

If you live close to range whidh hosts IDPA matches, that is a great way to become proficient in carry.

This thread was more about satisfying my curiosity than anything else. Those questions just came to mind when I thought about the possibility of getting one. I don't currently own a gun that a micro red dot can be mounted on. Not sure if I wanna spend the money or cut up one of my current pistols either.
I do have a Buckmark with an old Burris Fast Fire II on it. Honestly, every time I shoot it, I end up searching for the dot.
On something like a Buckmark which was designed for irons it takes a bit of practice to present the weapon properly On My Taurus TX220 tactical with Vortex mounted a mile over the bore is the same way. Guns like my Sig P320 or Hellcat seem to point much more naturally with a red dot on them. Think the main difference is height of dot above the bore compared of height of irons above the bore. Get the dot too far up and it just feel unnatural.

Hey there,
Have had a few red dots on handguns.
1) Some red dots have auto off or auto dim to save battery life. Love the auto off/on feature on the Holosun and Sig red dots I have. My Vortex is manual on/off but it is on a target 22. Did not like the auto dim red dot tried (cheap plastic Sig) as it won't adjust bright enough.
2) Battery life is not an issue on the ones tried. However, it would be nice if they had some sort of battery charge indicator...none do. More problematic is that the Sig in particular has a habit of the battery compartment cover coming unscrewed enough to lose contact...easy to fix. The side mounted battery on the Holosun has had ZERO problems making contact.
3) Holsters are the biggest problem. Almost worth deciding on a decent holster which will accept an optic mounted gun before deciding on which gun. DeSantis and Sig and Blackhawk are the ones currently owned.
Would not consider getting a gun without iron sights tall enough to use with my optic of choice mounted. Some call this co-witness which is misleading. As long as you can see the iron sights through the mounted optic for backup, it will work
Keeping the lens clean is my biggest problem with carrying a red dot edc wise. Also get a bit paranoid when carrying owb where lens can scratched.
Have gone back to carrying a handgun with a very large front dot on it.
For a range gun and shooting fun, noting beats an red dot optic
Finally, don't buy cheap, buy good!

If you can afford it, GO FOR IT
Personally, I can't imagine being able to afford such an expensive carry gun.
Darn, it took a few years to talk myself into a K6

My experiences in the past mimic those already shared, kinda hit or miss. I still have a model 85 from 1987 that's has really nice bluing and a good DA trigger. I've only owned 1-2 others.
I'm hopeful for Taurus going forward because I think I would like an 856 Toro RDS capable revolver. But definitely as a holster carried sidearm. Patiently waiting to see how those do over a bit of time.
Taurus hired Caleb Giddings as their General Marketing Manager a short while back and Caleb is a shooter and has been very responsive and accessible to customers on other forums (Pistol-Forums).
I've read good things from 856 owners the past several months as well.
Glad to read you had a decent experience with your @JustEd.
That sounds good!
Have red dots on range guns, but no longer on edc weapons. A bit more than I want in size for edc. Hate having to clean the optic of smudges and dust. Now am into the bigger combo front sights, reflective with tritium insert. Mind you, those are on my dedicated personal defense arms (close range).
-
Taurus had a reputation for parts, mim most likely, breaking and locking up the revolver. They seem to have improved their parts quality because I don't hear those stories much any more, on new handguns.
Had a 856 recently and it shot just fine through quite a few hundred rounds. Felt confident carrying it. Only sold to get a lighter snubbie

Am bot a moderator, but I think this belongs in the for sale or trade forum. Not sure if it fits in Firearm or non firearm though,
