Wow, whats wrong with it ?

[Graybeard]

N frame would be best fit.

Well, lets see, I've got a model 85, a tracker in 44 mag, and a PT1911.  All of mine have had no problems.

If what you mean is "with all the negative comments I might have thrown my money away", that would be true, but there are those who have had no problems at all.

   ive seen comments on this site that a lot of people say that the  taurus guns they have are nothing but junk.........service is lousey...and they would never buy another.....guns sent back for service were the same when they received them back......thanks graybeard for the holster info........

The Uncle Mikes size 2 will fit and is a good low cost option. Check with Simply Rugged on line if you want a nice high riding pancake holster. The Model 44 has been a good packing gun for me. I shoot mostly the standard 240 or 250 grain loads in mine. The 300 and 320 grain cast loads go in my Super Blackhawk. Mine has a good trigger and has enough weight to tame recoil but is still light enough for packing on the trail. About the only thing I need to do with mine is keep it clean and check the screws for tightness before heading out in the field. I have not heard of any problems with the Model 44. I think they are a pretty good design. I have more expensive guns but do carry it in the woods quite a bit. The Winchester 240 grain JSP White Box is a good load in the Taurus. If I want more penetration I go with a 250 Keith or Sierra FPJ at about 1200.

I've had my M44 for years - zero problems - very accurate - hundreds and hundreds of rounds, jacketed and lead. Enjoy!

I can't help you with the holster, but I would have to ask why you would buy a gun after reading all those negative comments? I have a Taurus Ported SS Mod 415 snub nose  in .41mag that slept under my my pillow in a tent cabin in the Tetons loaded with Fed 250gr Cast Cores. Now that I have found the .41spec ammo online, it may sleep in my pickup. It is a great little gun for a 1/3 the price of a Smith. I have had guns that I didn't like, but I didn't look for a holster for them.

I wouldn't sweat the bad reports,I was asking about a model 991 22 mag that I bought and had to clean it real good to get the grit out. Now it shoots great.

I just purchased a used "BARELY USED" model 44ss4 this morning at the Charleston Gun and Knife show, got it home about 2 hours ago and it shoots GREAT already shot 75 rnds through it and killed a huge BAD#%* squirle at 28 yrds, so far I am very pleased with it. I too have to get a holster.

I PERSONALLY WILL NOT HESITATE to buy another Taurus revolver, infact I will be looking for a model 94ss5 this week.

I am starting to think that its like this,
1. I drive a F-250 and all I own is fords, and had nothing but good ones and have friends that have had all bad ones.
2. I have had Chevey's and never any good ones, I have friends that swear by them
3. You cant always go on someones elses experience or opinion

Good Luck
