Taurus 689 Question
- Thread starter Bullrock
- Start date
I had one quite a few years ago. They are basically the same size as a S&W K-frame. I used a K-frame holster and I believe K-frame speed loaders.
It was actually quite a nice revolver. Trigger was a little stiff due to the coil springs, but I polished it up and clipped a coil and a half to get a decent trigger. Accuracy was on par with most other revolvers. My buddy liked it so much that he begged and pleaded till I finally sold it to him. He shot it for years till he had to get rid of it due to finances. It was Taurus top of the line revolver at the time.

Looks good with the wood grips...>
...I wouldn't mind trying some of them myself.
I note that mine doesn't have the engraving that yours does on the frame immediately under the cylinder. It looks like it says "something - FLA. USA" on your 689, which I suppose is an importers mark (?). My 689 came direct from Taurus, which I guess explains why it doesn't carry such a marking. Mine also doesn't have the pin (?) half way along the ejector shroud under the ".357 Magnum" engraving.
Thanks for the pic.
