Are Taurus-brand reolvers (specifically, their 17B6) good, bad, or a horrible piece of shit?

Shot one a couple months ago and had fun with it, but I'm pretty inexperienced.

I ain't tryna tell you how to live your life, but save up for a Smith. You will thank yourself and your kids will too.
>>
They're really very good for the price. They're no Smith or Colt,but you're not paying Smith or Colt prices, either.

Taurus revolvers are mostly fine, their overall QC ain't great. 50/50 really on MOST things but some say they are slowly getting better

Any models in particular? Looking for something with a longer barrel.

Also shot their smaller pistol. That one's a lot of fun, has a great sound.

I've been looking at a 686+ and I think a 4 in. barrel looks sexy, but to each their own.

I had a M44 with 8" barrel that I used to deer hunt. Loved that gun, and am sad I sold it. Planning on getting another. The barrel porting was actually very helpful. Would really recommend one.

I've owned a 6" raging bull in .44 for years now.

Most comfortable. 44 Mag I've shot and I really enjoy it.

But

Taurus does not have a great reputation for QC. You may get a fine gun or a lemon.

This is not nearly as prominent in their revolvers as their autos and I have never had a bad experience with any of the six revolvers from them I've shot.

Just be sure to always inspect a weapon well before purchase.

This.

I own a few taurus products and from my experience most of their revolvers are fine. Nothing amazing, but no issues aside from the lemons like with any company. Taurus has a lifetime warranty for all of their guns too btw.

I currently own a pt92, pt99, and a model 85 revolver of theirs. Never had an issue with any. More than I can say for kel tec, although to my knowledge they don't make revolvers.

I have three of them, bought partly out of curiosity. The first is a 990 Tracker in .22lr. I've never had any problem out of it and off bags the damned thing will shoot a 1/2 group at 25 yards. I put a Wiegand rail and optic on it for rimfire silhouette.

The second is a 44 Tracker in .44 Magnum. It's a handfull and the cases tend to stick with full power .44 Magnum loads. No problems otherwise.

The last is a large frame Model 608 in .357 Magnum. The gun has developed lockup issues after several thousand rounds.

My advice? Save up for a S&W 686 or Ruger GP100. If you do go for a Taurus, get a .357 Magnum Tracker, but go over it like you were buying a used revolver.
