Taurus Tracker

[270man]

Anyone have knowledge of or experience with the Taurus Tracker revolvers. I have always thought that a big bore cartridge (e.g., 41Mag, 44Mag, 44spcl, 45LC) would be great in a medium frame revolver like the S&W L-frame series. My preference would be a 5-shot cylinder and 4" barrel (6" should be offered too) for a package that wouldn't be too heavy or too bulky.

I wrote S&W about this a few years ago and of course I was ignored. Seems that they can offer lots of ridiculous models but not this one. The Taurus Tracker is the only revolver of this type that I know of.

Any thoughts,

The Taurus Tracker is a nice revolver, good quality, good value. I found out that cartridges I had loaded for my Model 57 S&W would not fit in the Tracker cylinder; a little too long. A little too long is "way too long". Cartridges loaded to fit the Tracker will fit the Model 57 just fine.

My Tuarus is actually the 44Mag Raging Bull. I've looked at the Tracker's and they look pretty nice. I wouldn't worry about quality isues at all with one. Taurus has come a llong way, and I feel they have a good rep. Not to mention a lifetime warranty.

I had a Rageing Bull in .454 that was more like a rageing pussy cat. I never had any problems with it and liked it, but had 2 friends that had problems with Taurus handguns and both had problems with their survice on their with their service, so much so I sold my Rageing Bull. Both were about 5 to 6 years ago and I have not heard anything about their service since, but I have crossed them off my list of guns to buy.
