Nice idea. Don't care for the road-side billboard, though.

I wonder how much input for this gun came from INGO's own Caleb Giddings.... I jest, he is a brand manager for Taurus now.....For a young-ish guy, he gets revolvers....

I'm a "never Taurus" guy. Respect for the products they make affordable to the masses but for just a little more scratch I can get an American made product with "hopefully" better QC and reliable warranty coverage.

This is a S&W 627 knock-off, I'm happy to own the real deal.

COMPETITION. OK, Taurus, I get it. You didn't have to yell.

and those cylinder walls sure seem thin for a steady diet of 357 mag. Any limit on 357 bullet weight?

It is not for me but competition is a good thing and I hope it ends to be a real shooter at that price point.

I figure you'll probably see them around $750.
I'm interested to see how they do once people start reviewing them, and using them.

Ever hear of or use Wago's?
