    I have owned the 4 inch 44mag Tracker for well over 10 years.
    It's a great gun, my application and intended use besides the dresser drawer was for long distant backpacking. During a solo trip I carried it 70 miles in 9 days where the trail is above 10,000 feet the vast majority of the time.
    It's weight to comfort level provided is well worth it in bear country. I only loaded the 5 round cylinder with 4 Buffalo Bore 305 grain rounds. This gave me a margin of safety considering the double action and also lessened the weight a bit.
    Love the gun...
    God bless

    Nice video man. I just got my stainless steel 4.2 inch barrel gp 100 less than a year ago. I’ve only shot 38 special rounds out of it so far though can’t wait to shoot 357 rounds out of it

      Ya I’d be nice if the Taurus just came with them already installed. Although they have since changed grip design fairly recently. I don’t have much expirence with the new ones

    FWIW, I agree with your assessment. I’ve owned both Ruger and Taurus revolvers as well as several S&W revolvers. Of all of them my personal favorite is the Ruger. I currently own a GP100, a SP101, and an LCR. My Taurus collection includes a M617 and a M85; both are excellent revolvers. I’ve never had a reason to contact Taurus Customer Service so I can’t comment from experience about their responsiveness. I have dealt with Ruger’s CS for non-revolver related issues (Mini-14). They are great to work with.

      In all my experiences with guns, I’ve only had to contact customer service on. 2 guns. An armscor 206 and glock 29. Armscor had real issues and needed a part. The glock was missing grip plates, glock was great armscor was so-so

    Taurus is way better for the money, ware it out, after what 100.000 rounds, I don't think that's anything to worry about, I have a Taurus 38 special that's 52 years old, still shoots like it did new 😊

      @@Conklikov how is that internal lock holding up? I bought a Braztech 14 years ago and it was a nightmare. The lock broke twice, sold it off. Got a few of the new 856s and I love em. I got one with probably 8,000 rounds in it and 10,000 dry fires and it's still going strong.

  • @jasonlehman2090

    That's not how you determine lock up. Pull hammer back, pull trigger while slowly lowering hammer with your thumb all the while holding the trigger back. Now check the cylinder lock up.
