The Gaucho revolvers......?
« on: May 07, 2005, 08:55:52 AM »
Has anybody seen, held, or fired the Taurus line of SA revolvers? I believe they come in 45colts and 357. And can they take pretty stout handloads approaching Ruger loads?  Just wondering how these guns shape up.

The Gaucho revolvers......?

TM7, I got to handle one the other day and was quite impressed!  This was a 5 1/2" blue one.  Nice balance, nice finish.  Transfer bar with loading/unloading done at half-cock.  The cylinder looks to be 'slightly' larger than a Colt.  I would not put Ruger level loads into it, but I'm sure it would stand a steady diet of 10 gr unique with a 255 gr SWC at 1000 fps and that will do anything you want to do with a .45 colt.  I'm seriouly thinking of buying one, especially at $400!  See my comments under Cowboy Action.  44 Man

I checked them out a show where I could handle them alongside the new Ruger Vaquero.  The Tauras had a much smoother action, and a better feel.  I'm a Vaquero believer, but these Taurus pistolas have grabbed my attention!
