Taurus Tracker 44 Magnum with 2.5" Barrel - Part 3 Final Video. Ballistic Testing and Final Thoughts

This is the final video on the Taurus Tracker 44 Magnum with a 2.5" barrel. The gun is fun too shoot if you like recoil. I tested 4 different rounds.
#1 - Fiocchi Defense Dynamics 44 Special, 200 Grain SJHP Rated at 900 FPS
#2 - Fiocchi Defense Dynamics 44 Magnum, 240 Grain JHP Rated at 1330 FPS
#3 - Hornady Custom 44 Magnum, 200 Grain XTP Rated at 1500 FPS
#4 - Underwood 44 Magnum, 200 Grain JHP Rated at 1650 FPS
I have not experienced any additional cylinder lockups sense the initial video. The firearm continues to perform well. I do believe it functions better as a 44 Special SEE Video for more information.

Great series on this revolver, and how the rounds ran through the short barrel.

Great series sir. Gonna have to get me a Taurus 2.5 tracker for woods protection. Probably load her up with buffalo bores "low recoil" 44. Mag

[@BigBoreGuns]

Thanks for watching. Yes buffalo bore makes some nice ammo. People usually think of them as +P but they have a nice line of standard pressure ammo

Good review...😊

Thank you I appreciate your watching it.

Very nice! Decent power from the .44 Mags... Although admittedly the Taurus revolver cylinders do tend to loosen up after a bit (I've noticed this too).

[@BigBoreGuns]

Thanks for watching. Glad to hear I am not the only one that recognizes that. In your experience, is the loosing up ongoing or does it tend to just be a break in?

[@carlosmorris4510]

@@BigBoreGuns I think it's just a break-in... I have just over 1400 rounds through my .357 Mag Tracker - and it hasn't loosened up anymore. I've only about 450 rounds through my 2.5" .44 Mag snub nose Tracker though (more expensive to shoot) - but I've noticed the same thing... No more loosening up; it's just a break-in period. I've shot at least a few cylinder's worth of 305 grain HSM bear loads through it as well - just to test them out; no ill effects to it. But yeah, I think it's primarily a .44 Special - due to it's lightweight construction, and only a part-time .44 Mag revolver. It's decent for the money though. So I see it as a .44 Special for range practice, and a .44 Magnum for when you venture out into the woods... It's a budget brand - so obviously not as tight as a S&W or a Ruger - but still good for what you're paying for. It's concealability is a high point for it, I think.
