Never shot a 689 but again I say I'll keep with my taurus m44

My only Taurus was the Large frame 8rd 608  .357   P.O.S. lasted about 800rds of standard ammo then pins started slipping out. The lock up got so bad, sloppy loose, I was afraid to fire it anymore.

But FWIW this was about 1996...

I have a 669 that i bought used in about 98' for 225$ I did have to have a spring replaced but its ate hundreds of rounds. its now our nite stand gun. if in the market I wouldnt hesitate to buy another. For what its worth I also once owned a taurus model 431? (I think that was it ) it was a stainless .44 special w/ a 3" barrel and adj. sites it shot like a dream and  olny gave 125$ for it and sold it for .250 but man I wish I had it back!
