Title: Taurus 992 and Taurus in general
Post by: Intercooler on April 10 2013 04:37:14 PM MDT
    Well it's not a Glock  ;D


  I know some of the Taurus model revolvers are hit or miss. I did some research on this one and the transfer bar was an issue. Hopefully they worked on it and mine won't get it! The ease of changing cylinders and the fact I was searching for a .22 Magnum sealed it for me. Any thoughts on the Taurus models?

This is what I signed the papers on today. Just have to wait 60-80 days now (before the explosion it was 7-10 days)  :o :o

I couldnt hit a thing with my Tracker 357 Mag.  My Dad had a Tracker in 17 HMR and 22 Mag.  His 22 Mag would send the rounds any which way if felt like.  He took it to the retailer and it was found that the barrels had a slight curvature in it.  It went back to Taurus and they fixed it.  It is an accurate and fun little revolver to shoot now.  He sold the 17 HMR.  I recently picked up a Taurus Raging Bull 44 Mag 8 3/8" barrel.  This is a beast and its accurate.  This is going to be my deer gun this year.

I'm hoping it is good. GunBlast and a few other reviewers really liked it and the accuracy.

Good thing I started this. It's still in gun jail and I was wondering how long it has been. Over 30 days so far  :'(

At least you have it all nailed down to some extent.  Long wait but a sure thing.  Could be worse, like trying to find XTP bullets for handloading.  Might be Christmas before I get my hands on any of them.

  Unlike the other two I plan on trying to find an 8 day release FFL.  Unfortunately many aren't making MD stick to their law and are running scared.

How many days is the release they're pushing, when longer than 8 days?
Title: Re: Taurus 992 and Taurus in general
Post by: Intercooler on June 24 2013 03:01:55 PM MDT
It's 7 and the MSP just lost in court meaning all the FFL's should be letting them go. They are scared so we sit at 90-120 days and growing!

I see transfers being posted for this time range lately. Hopefully next week which would be July like I predicted  :o

Damn Mr. Cooler

I would have already moved to a free state! I wouldn't wait more than 1 minute to book and buy any gun muchless a T thing.

I'm working on it for sure!

   Next week will be 90 days and we are into July like I thought. I would phone them up but doubt they have much information.

   Shot the crap out of it today  ;D Both cylinders and did my first .22WMR Chronograph test. The .22LR cylinder liked Remington Golden Bullets better than Blazer in the extraction department. None of the four .22WMR ammos I tested showed differences.

  If I did my part this thing is very very accurate. Real happy so far  ;)

Cleaning was easy today being able to remove both cylinders. DA pull was 14lbs and SA 4.75lbs. I'm liking it so far!

    Finally! I didn't want to risk putting a Hogue on that wouldn't fit, but found feedback from a 992 owner with one that fit.

   The spongy stocker always fatigued my wrist supporting the 6.5" barrel.

  The stock sponge grip is just too small and squishy to keep it pointed right for long sessions. I plink with the 9-shot speed loaders for an hour or more straight. The Hogue just makes it easier from what I feel so far.
