ad closed Taurus 85 or 605 / Heritage Roscoe

[Handsome Rob]

Don't think me silly, but I have a craving for a little 5-shot .38

I had one years ago & moved it on, but now I really wish I hadn't. It was a lovely little thing & I'd really like to get my hands on another. 

I'm not really interested in one of the 856s or similar, just a tiny 5-banger.

 Safety Reminder for Buyers and Sellers 

This is an automatic reply meant to protect you as a buyer and a seller on TGO.

• Use the Buyer/Seller Feedback feature to research who you are dealing with.   Please come back and leave feedback for each other after the transaction is complete.  Your experience will help others.
   
• Never agree to use an electronic form of payment to buy or sell a gun!  None of the electronic payment services will protect you against fraud in a firearms transaction.  They all have terms of service FORBIDDING the use of their services to buy/sell guns.  DON'T DO IT.
   
• Be very wary of anyone who insists on brokering a deal in private or outside of TGO.  Scammers almost always prefer to operate out of the public eye.

I shot a friend's 85 once and liked it. The 605 was $20 cheaper so I got it. It gets 38s reloads at the range and loaded with 357s at home and carry.

I've never seen a 605 before! I like it enough that I'm going to edit the title! 

Thanks!

If you are feeling speedy I got a S&W 360 Airweight I am looking to move.

I have a Taurus UL380, somewhat rare model in .380 ACP, comes 3 moon clips and 2 sets of wood grips (1 not pictured). You know, just in case

I'll bear it in mind, but it's really a .38 I'd like. I've got enough loaded .38spl ammo to wear out several revolvers & maybe 20 .380s left for my LCP!

The Heritage Roscoe 2" would be another great candidate.

I have an unfired .32 fed mag Taurus if you might be interested.

Well damn. I just made an agreement on a little Heritage Roscoe.

Thanks though!

I've owned a Taurus 85 as well as a 650. both in polished stainless. Wish I still had the 85 but the DAO on the 650 was not great. Plan to add a 605 to go with my 608 for those days when I just want something really heavy.

Very versatile. Blue or SS?
