  1. I have a model 607 that I bought in 1996 and two Raging Bulls in 454, that I bought in 1998, both are of excellent quality. The wife fell in love with a model 85, which I bought around 2004 and the fit and finish is certainly not up the the level of my others from the mid-late 90's.

    The only Taurus product I would consider now would be one from the mid to late 90's, and likely only another Raging Bull.

  2. I would expect electricians tape to have an effect. Sticky, gooey and stretchy.

    I dunno, I've never seen or heard of anyone doing this. I guess with most tapes not a big deal, but with a little care it's not needed and I've hunted with shotguns in the rain.

    The tape is blown away by before the bullet leaves the barrel, and I only use it on my muzzle loaders to help keep the powder charge dry, never used any tape on a cartridge gun.

  3. Same type of tool yes, but the $5 NcStar tool is a far cry from the quality of the TAPCO tool. My brother learned the hard way, the $5 tool broke on the second canted sight my brother tried to correct on a Romanian AK. That is why I recommended the quality tool to you, but hey, as long as it worked.

  4. I have a model 39-2 which is the progenitor of the model 59. It belonged to my dad and was his carry gun when he was a LEO. It has many thousands of rounds through it and gives me no problems.

    I agree actually. I meant long vs. a SA. It's a shorter pull than any DA I've fired. I think it seems long because of relative size of the pistol.

    Thanks for the info!

    IMO,there is no way this trigger can be compared favorably to the trigger on a DA revolver. I think Pablo may be right though, perhaps it is simply the trigger take up relative to the size of the pistol makes it seem longer than it really is?
