Went back and found this piece in the safe. It is a replacement for an 85CH that I purchased in 1991. Shot it a bit, but didn't get a lot of rounds through it. In 1998 I had moved to SC and was waiting out the one year residency requirement which would allow me to take the CWP course and apply for a CCW permit. If we had been destitute we could have gone on food stamps as soon as we crossed the state border. Found a private range near me, joined up and started doing a little shooting. Noticed that I was getting what appeared to be misfires so I spent some time doing dry firing and watching to see what was happening. Turns out the cylinder was not advancing so I sent it down to Taurus in Florida and they replaced the entire weapon. Here is that replacement Mod 85CH. Ed aka Sunset  Grips are a tad better than the wooden banana shaped grips on the original.  |

I was born with a bullshit radar. Evidently, many in America were not.
Now, we must all fear evil men. But there is another kind of evil which we must fear most, and that is the indifference of good men.

Well now that's a little harsh, I just said it's a lil small, not that I don't care for it.  Only wheel I've ever seen I don't really care for is a Judge. |
