How mutch the gun i peay
Deliver her in philipines
Wish people would stop referring to good guns as budget or entry-level. Who cares. The only people who care about those terms are the ones who care about image and status.
I agree. If you're pointing that at someone, they're are going to run regardless
correct. if you point it to your enemy, they wont mock at it. they will just run
In the Philippines, many just use home-made guns.... they are fake ones with genuine bullets. Many still got killed.
Yea right!!!you ever bought a budget friendly gun? They are pieces of shit
@@sandiego7433 Agreed.
I think thousands of retired cops would debate you on if .38 special is a “ potent” round ! It was run as standard issue for a long time! When I became a cop in 91 they were just switching over to the semi autos but .38 special can be a very effective round!
Great comment. I agree 👍
I was pretty shocked by that (but not as shocked as I was by 7:53...which just hurt to watch)
Have one I picked up in the late 80's Never had a problem, shoots as good as the shooter. Once you try it you will like it, everyone who tried mine agrees. It's a blast and easy to clean.
I've carried one in my purse for three years. I've put about a hundred through it at the range, never a prob. Love it, have faith in it. 😉
Taurus guns get better with age. They are rough new but after a few hundred dry fires and another few hundred rounds it will be as good as any high dollar revolver. 1000 rds and that little pistol will run like a champ!
None of the problems you described were present with the Taurus 856 Ultra Lite I purchased in November 2019. The only thing about this gun I don't like is the grip. And Taurus has discontinued the wood grips from their catalog. Also, slamming the cylinder shut with a flick of your wrist will damage the crane.
Dose gun review dosen't know how to handle a revolver right dude called the factory lude grit
All that slamming will ruin the gun you're absolutely right
Got mine Spring of 93. Still looks new with the wooden handles. Boodles of shoot'in with it. Easy break down and clean. Never and I mean Never any problems. "NONE"!!! Great CCW.
Stopping Power is Absolute.
I inherited this same model recently. Finally shot it and loved it.
I love the aggressive look of revolvers, I am getting this one tomorrow from a family member. I’ve never had a revolver before, just a bunch of Glocks. I am excited
ive used and abused this firearm and its been great for me
38 not potent? Stand in front of it and see how potent it is🙄😣😉😏🙄🙄
I stand in front of 38’s all the time on my ammo shelf.. I know better then to say dumb stuff like that tho. 38s have done a wonderful job for decades.
Just got mine in black....$160 after the $40 rebate. Plus get NRA membership or renewal free from Taurus. Great value.
Same price I got mine for. Also NRA membership.
$369 after fees for me.
1View where did you get your gun for $160??? All the guns I see are over 300!
Palmetto State Armory. But I believe the Taurus rebate is over now.
just bought mine for 250 no complaints so far got mine new in box at the gun show last week
Freakin awesome guns the taurus 85 ,taurus 856 and 605 not the polymer ones but the normal ones
I have the same gun. When I bought it my dealer told me not to dry fire it, so he threw in some snap caps for me.
Why not dry fire it?
I cringed when he whipped the cylinder closed
Michel Lawrence yep kinda shows his "expertise" as professional.
+Therealjohncofey yes very professional especially with dry firing the gun probably didn't know that hurts the firing pin
@@vic4345 the guy doesnt know anything that hes talking about. Reminds me of a lot of guys who claim to know it all and embarrass themselves when it comes down to talking to people who actually have some education on firearms and shooting.
he's an expert with an expert eye.
dry firing that gun won't hurt it.
I just got the same exact M85, in stainless. My first revolver also, I think the rebate is great, I think it probably encouraged a lot of people tor try them out.
your not supposed to sling it in. it can bend the crane and break that little pin inside
Iv8888 revolver ediquite
@@mensoDAgoon haha yeah that’s where I learned it.
I have this gun it is excellent!! One thing I will say it could use adjustable rear sights.
I bought two, always wanted a .38 and couldn't beat the price. The trigger and feel of the gun felt better than the SW. Overall I liked Colt the best, but didn't like the release for the cylinder. Kimber has the best release for the cylinder to me. But for me with the two Taurus models I got: One was the Stainless Ultra-Lite and the other was the heavier SS model. Paid $239 for ultra-lite and $223 for regular model. With the rebate and transfer fee that would be $219 and $203 in the end. The ones in the store had a nice trigger pull, I dry fired them probably 200 times and still tough. Purchased the Wolff spring kit to try and get a lighter pull. Nice revolvers to me for the money!
cashxx I'm going to post a full review in a couple of weeks. Everyone who shot it loved it and the trigger is actually nice!
No need to keep knocking it... It's a solid gun. Especially for the price.
Excellent firearms! Just happen to be inexpensive!
I’ve seen new Smith and Wesson revolvers with a worse canted barrel.
Excited, got me on and will be shooting it. I'll probably make a video for all to see. ^-^
I own a Taurus .38, it is very difficult to pull the trigger...I took it to a gunsmith to loosen up the trigger and now I can fire it easier
I keep one in my tackle box for when im night fishing off the river banks. I carry 2 speed loaders as well. 1 is loaded with cci shotshells for cottonmouth snakes and the other buffalo bore jhp. Its like a swiss army knife but its for defence.
SJHP is not soft jacketed hollow point.. its Semi jacketed hollow point. Just saying.
+Thanks! I realized that while editing, ah well Zach Reisen
@@GearKnowHow you need a bit more of education before educating others.
Thanks for the review you changed my mind on this firearm, I will keep looking for a better revolver.
Another self appointed expert. Older Taurus M85s are fine. Visit shows and shops til you find a nice one. Look for the older grip style. Taurus’ website has a serial no. ID page. Learn how to evaluate a used revolver. Have your money ready and keep looking. Patience will pay off.
I'm doing the rebate too, and it will be my first revolver also. I ordered the Stainless version like you did, I"m looking forrward to trying it out.
I like my Taurus Rossi 351 model. It's no longer being made but it's prettier than that dull finish.
These type of guns are made for 3 to 7yrds personal diffence not sniping people
With practice any snubnose can stay on target by most good shooters at 25 yards. Thry shoot better th as n you can hold.
Just look up Jerry Micallic or the (RIP) Bob Munden shooting at extreme distances with snubbies.
@@denisdegamon8224 people always hating and throwing their 2 cents in. For real its a self defense gun and is as accurate as the shooter
@@gutterpunktarzan1
Sir, this is a open forum format, if you don't pepples input, then don't read them, plain and simple.
PS: I have been a shooter, reloader forcover 45 years and I am an ex combat arms Infantry Officer, and a certified NRA pistol instructor, so believe I have the background to make such assertions.
Nice little gun should always clean a new gun before firing ,shouldn't never ever cowboy the cylinder. And dry firing a gun will damage firing pin ,would want this guy handling my guns
Do not closed the cilinder like that
Please do a video update on the new taurus 85 for 2022 they all are great. I have the new taurus 605defender and 856 for 2022 sweet. Do a new update for 2022👍🏿😊👍🏿
Cowboys the cylinder and calls the keys for the hammer lock safety mechanism dumb. I dont think anyone is holding your opinion very high bud.
My front sight is dead on my 856. Another odd thing the new one I just bought April on 2021 doesn’t have the hilary hole in the hammer as this guy brought up. That was one of the main reasons I grabbed the one I did.
I really love this gun when i got it , i feel good when i carry so i will find the time for shooting it
The canted barrel isn't a budget revolver issue. Smith and Wesson is infamous for the canted barrel.
Probably shouldnt cowboy close your revolvers like that, can cause multiple issues
I just got it in black. To the range next weekend.
I picked one up two weeks ago $190 after rebate.had to send it back. Will fire the first round but the cylinder won't turn cylinder gets stuck I've tried four different Ammo all the same thing
Revolvers should never be whipped shut.
Says "budget" about 12 times, doesn't shoot it, just yammers on about nothing... saved you 8 minutes and 52 seconds
Keep cowboying that gun and it will fail.
Sadly this guy doesn’t know a hell of a lot about revolvers. Its his first one he said. It shows. Lol
Keep snapping the cylinder like that and you’re gonna screw up the lock. Good video though.
Like the guy said stand in front of them!
Mine was filthy as well. Cylinder and barrel were crusty.
SJHP = SEMI jacketed hollow points !
Just got one for $170
I agree revolvers are simpler than semi auto
will 38 plus p stop a back bear
How about this M85s , i got the new one have not yet try to shooting it , let someone knows this gun pls comment how should i do it before thanks alot friends
Still wanna pick up 1 of these..
The older 85s were built much better. I have an older blued model without that ridiculous lock that I'm fond of. Don't like that dull finish on yours. I also wouldn't call them " cheap " guns. Maybe not as pretty as a Smith, but not everyone can afford a Smith these days.. You said that's your first revolver? A drop of oil will have that cylinder spinning like a top.
I just got the same gun but mine has an X to track your count. I assumed they all had it but I don't see one on yours. Why do they do it in alternate ways?
The X means a blem model still a great gun but if you're Taurus has an x on it it means it was a blem I've got about 15 of them just means it had a little scratch or a little defect in the looks of it nothing to do with the way it works
pero no dicen que el aluminio como el mio se desgasta y pierde la apariencia,
I did just buy one at a gun show in my city, I'm the first owner. Can I still get the gift card ?if I do something online
Yup...www.taurususa.com/taurusonlinerebate2017.cfm
7:51 Oh no why do that :(
What holster was that in the picture??
Just a generic Kydex holster image off Google. I'm probably going to pick up an upgraded holster for this M85 and do a review on it. Stay tuned in the future and be sure to subscribe.
That’s the gun that killed Selena 😥
gomez?
No not Gomez
flip up?
Good video
He is petty finding small problems smh
a taurus só pode estar brincando,eu comprei uma furadeira de 125$ e veio em uma caixa de polimero bem boa,e uma arma eles mandam nesse papelão
Geez I feel bad for selling mine now.
blitzkrieg459 😢 sorry bro
210$ I PAIED CLOSE TO GD 400$
Me to lol
I paid $300
decent video i only looked this up not for the gun for a comparison of my dads s&w vs taurus since taurus are said as cheap, poorly machined
I know since I did read some of the comments and suggestions;
It was however painfull to watch as you snapped that cylinder closed several times. Please do both yourself and your revolver a favor and stop Hollywood hot rodding your gun. Most of those on TV and thd movies don't know their ass from a hole in the ground.
Man, here in Brazil this guns costs more than 3000 reais. This's fucking ridiculous.
Got same gun got nothing wrong with it you have no idea what your talking about stay off UA-cam my man you just a city boy with his 1st gun
Agree
He said a plinker for the range. You couldn’t hit water bottle 2 times in a row from 10 yards to save your life with a stub nose
You are not suppose to dry fire lol
I've owned this revolver in stainless and the pt111 and I will NEVER buy another Taurus ever again. Absolute garbage and cheaply made firearms. I've got an old smith and wesson 10-8 from 1978 and that pistol will blow that model 85 out of the water any day of the week. You're better off buying an old police trade in than this piece of shit.
What happened to your M85 to hurt you so deep inside?
Taurus makes quality revolvers?
Best joke I have heard all week!😄
They are practically made out of pot metal.
Варфейс ёпта)
Taurus guns are pieces of shit. I bought a model 617 and it was out of time/cylinder to barrel misaligned right out the box. I had to send the piece of shit to FL under the "lifetime warranty" but for those who are tempted to get a Taurus POS due to price, save yourself a hassle and get something better. I wish there are known reliable budget revolvers out there that isn't POS Taurus. Potential buyers be warned!
Just don't do it! Especially if you intend on using the gun as a carry piece. Spend a little more and get a Ruger SP101 or a S&W J frame. HECK! I would recommend Charter Arms before I would recommend a Taurus. I used to own one of these Taurus 85 revolvers. I can't believe I ever carried that unreliable piece of crap.
I guess you had a bad experience as many more than not swear by them.
Did it go bang when you pulled the trigger? That’s all that matters.
i hear a booger whistling when you breath
Are you kidding? Have you ever took a side plate off a revolver? It's like a watch inside man! Way more complicated that any auto. So many tiny springs and levers 😂 they are more simple to operate but not to work on.
i was thinking the same thing. he is an idiot trying to sound like an expert.
Really... not hardley. I was an ex US Army infantry officer....just saying.
