Tarus RagingBull fail!

[elkinrutdrivemenuts]

This pistol has been nothing but trouble for me!  First problem was the barrel blowing in half. I figure someone before me was shooting hot loads, so not a big deal, tarus cannot be responsible for that. I sent it in and they gave me a brand new pistol. Took it out today and after 2 shots I thought I had a misfire. Open the chamber, inspect my primer and close it and the cylinder won't lock!  The thing just free spins!  Sending back for the last time and trading it in at cabelas. Gonna take it in the shorts on the trade in value but I want a .44mag that won't cause me problems.  The only good thing is the lifetime warranty, just sick of having to use it.

I would say a barrell blowing in half is a bit of a big deal...

Well yeah it was a big deal, but when people misuse firearms I won't blame the company. I assume it was hot loads, I hope It wasn't manufacturing error. I'm just dissappointed it's already havin problems again.

I hate it when the barrel blows up! 
My advice: S&W

[Jason]

That really sucks  ..I've had zero problems with my RagingBull 44mag.

I dont care how hot any loads were that were shot through that gun the barrel should not split it was obviously defective. And yes taurus can be responsible for that. Buy a Ruger or a Smith

Never met a Taurus I liked!
My M44 had nothing but problems. Great warranty service. But sometimes not worth it.

[elkinrutdrivemenuts]

Before I bought it I heard nothing but good things, after it blew up I started hearing of more people with simialr stories. Oh well. Great warranty services, tires of using it. On another note I will have a brand new pistol here in a few weeks that will be for sale, any takers after this amazing review ; )

357 Magnum barrel blows off

[Jason]

Something wrong about that video, his thumb is sitting right beside the barrel and
nothing happens to it?  he would have been hurting.

S&W is my choice. Ive never had good luck with taurus revolvers.

[elkinrutdrivemenuts]

I am Thinking the model 29 cabelAs has for their 50th looks pretty nice

I bought a Judge and it was crap. I probably would have kept it if it patterned at all, I just wanted to shoot grouse with it. In Taurus' defense it's not there fault it wont pattern it was the rifling. The fit and finish was sub par though when I compare it to any of my smith, colt, rugers. I wasn't real impressed. I wore it in a holster once and the blueing was already wearing. That'll be the last taurus I buy.

A lot of guys like them but I think it's because they are relatively inexpensive. If they cost more they wouldn't be near as popular.

Smith's top strap is too weak for me,  Ruger is a more solid revolver imho. I don't like the lock thingy on the Smith either.
