i have owned and shot the heck out of several.  not as smooth as a S&W or as strong as a Ruger, but decent guns.  HARD to get parts for if it breaks.  I have had one in the shop for almost a year looking for parts or even a parts gun.
A Smith & Wesson Beats Four Aces.

Whatta ya mean I can't have one of each?

What we have here is...Washington Department of NO Fish and WATCHABLE Wildlife.
 
WDFW is going farther and farther backwards....we need FISH AND GAME back!

They're good guns for the average shooter. If you plan to shoot it a lot it may not hold up for too long. If you're only going to go out and shoot 50 rounds through it every trip and it only comes out once a month I think you'd do well with it.

I've had a handful of different Taurus revolvers ranging from little 38s up to a Raging Bull 454 and they all shot pretty well and functioned exactly how I'd expect them too. I had close to 3000 rounds of full power 41 mag loads through a model 425 Titanium Tracker before I sold it. That little gun took a beating but held up pretty well. It was a little loose by the time I sold it, but the guy who bought it planned to carry it a lot and shoot it a little so it wasn't an issue.
