Well I finally bought my first revolver last night. I traded my S&W Sigma for a Taurus 905 9mm. I shot about 100 rounds through it, and it is a blast to shoot! The accuracy is quite impressive out of such a short barrel. So far I think I made a good choice, does anyone have any knowledge on this gun that they could share? I am still not sold on Taurus' quality control, but this one seems to be put together nicely. If anyone has/does own one, I'd love to hear about how it works for you.
Got my first Wheelgun

I've had several Taurus double actions and they all worked well. I ended up trading them in, which wasn't their fault. There are a couple I dearly wish I hadn't sold.
I ran into quality problems with Taurus cowboy guns-- the Gaucho and the Thunderbolt. To be fair I think the Thunderbolt just needed to be broken in and was working properly when I sold it, but I have a minor shoulder problem that made using the pump gun unpleasant. And it was picky about my handloaded ammunition. So it just wasn't for me.
A lot of people will tell you they're junk because they're not made by that person's favorite company. If it works for you, that's all that matters.

I have always owned Auto's ( Colt Commander, Smith Sigma, Ruger Mark2)
Finally Got A 357, been wanting one for a long time, I did not expect to get one(Think all my other hobbies took all the money) to my suprise, My Boss got me one. It is a Taurus 627 Tracker 7 shot,4" barrel. This gun is very nice to shoot,I think i shoot it better than any other gun i have owned.It is ported and very balanced. I think you will enjoy a revolver.One thing I noticed(could be wrong) it sure seems easier to clean at the end of the day. I do agree that you have to like what you are shooting, so if you are enjoing it "Go For It" .That Sigma that i owned was a 9mm and i did not like it,I have small hands and i convinced myself that this gun was right because i wanted to carry more rounds, all my buddies owned glocks ( have alot of friends that are in law enforcment) so i wanted to fit in without the price tag of a glock.I got rid of it because it did not fit my hand, plus if i was inside a house ,i could miss all 4 walls LOL. Learned a lesson on buying something because it was the thing to do. Hope this helped, HAVE FUN

and 2 life time warranty.. nothing wrong with that..
So far I have enjoyed having it. As soon as I can learn the "art" of loading the little clips it will get better. It is dead-on accurate at 7yrds, which is a real nice feature. I have a Taurus PT-22 and it needs to have a piece replaced, so I am going to see how good their warranty service really is. Hopefully they do good, fast work. Thanks all for the replies, and feel free to add more.

I will be calling them today or tommorow, I'll be sure to let you know.
invssgt Snail,
If you get a chance to chrongraph that thing, please do & post the results. There's another fella on here who has inquired as to velocities from this particular gun.
Sorry, but I have no way to chronograph the gun/rounds.

Congratulations on your new Taurus.
From what I've read, they're fine little revolvers though they've been discontinued from the Taurus line unfortunately.
