(4 out of 5) Taurus revolver

Great revolver shoots straight sights are fantastic. Fast shipping sos is where I get 90% of my firearms, love the grip it’s not the spongee one,it has finger groves.

(5 out of 5) Taurus 356 defender 3 in 38sp for defensive carry
by from BLACKFOOT, ID on

Minimum Recoil. Good feel in hand. Conceals in waistband very well. Heavy DA trigger, Single action is pretty good for the price. Trigger should improve with break in I think. Night sight works very well and a great addition in this price range. I think a very good defensive handgun that most shooters can shoot well 10 yards or less. Plus P rated however I would not shoot a lot of it regularly. I think Excellent value for the price and as a defensive pistol would serve an individual well. 6 shot capacity gives you that extra round for many of the same size revolvers. SOSS shipping was fast and efficient as usual. Thanks
