I want to sell a gen 3 G20, got an offer for a straight trade, 8 3/8" stainless steel raging bull in .44 mag.

He claims it is new in box, never fired, i will only do it face to face to confirm such a claim. G20 is newish - less than 500 rounds (seriously)

ETA: since some here still think im just plain retarded - I still have a glock I am not selling, that fits my hand better, and i didnt SEEK a taurus, this trade was offered, and I started out (and still am) leaning towards no pretty hard.

value wise it seems like a good deal for you. I wouldn't do it but that's my tainted perception of taurus speaking. If the taurus is what you want I'd do the deal.

NIB Taurus usually has the appearance of any other gun after it has been moderately used

Taurus revolvers aren't bad guns, and the dollar value is ok for the trade. But the G20 would be easier to sell than a big .44 mag.

that's sort of how I'm feeling.

if it was in .454 casull, I might do it and actually keep it.

This. The .44 mag on up models are supposed to be quite decent from my understanding. Not going to win a beauty contest but they aughta hold their own.




That being said. Keep the G20. 10mm is MOAR BETTER

because I got a gen 4 G21, which fits my hand better, a threaded .45 ACP barrel, and a 10mm conversion barrel, so i can shoot whichever I choose now...with a suppressor, and because I dont want a semi-redundant pistol.

Due to the amount of problems I had out of my .454 Raging Bull (lots of parts breakages) I'm going to go with FUCK NO.
 



Honestly, if you want a cheap .44 mag that you can shoot almost any load in, look for a Ruger Redhawk (NOT Super Redhawk).  Nice guns.

A 20 and a 21 are the same frame size , They should fit your hand the same

The Gen 4 G21 is has a teeny bit shorter reach to the trigger, it's the same as the SF models I believe.  I've never found it to make a difference, it's just a big ass, fun pistol all around, in either caliber.

but a gen 3 and a gen 4 aren't

the gen 4 frame fits my hand infinitely better than the gen 3. it isnt a big difference dimensionally, but it does fit much better.

[#22]
Not a bad trade if you have a gen 4 anyways I like my Raging Bull 44 6" I have a few S&W 44's and couple Rugers.... 44 is my favorite caliber The Raging Bull is a soft shooter accurate and though no S&W trigger it is not  bad and through use is smoothing out....I am keeping mine I like it a lot and its been good for me...

BS.  If you don't really know the quality of a Taurus, just shut up.

OP, try searching Arfcom for my post about a comparison of S&W and Taurus revolvers, side-by-side with lots of pics.  If you still want a Taurus you are retarded and there is no help for you.

NO! Unless the Glock is broken and unusable which is is what the Taurus will be after you shoot it.

The 20 G4 = the 20 SF G3 as far as grip size.

OP, I have a 454 raging bull, have put  lots of rounds down range with it..had problems with it once..bought a box of winchester supremes for it, and got some hot loads..luckily the gun didn't kaboom, but it did distort the frame..called both winchester and taurus, taurus said send us the gun and the ammo(this was years ago)..4 weeks later I got a new gun back... and a new box of winchester supremes...no headache, no muss..just taken care of..gun always shoots, is always fun and  since the 44 is built off the same frame, I would imagine it would hold up just fine in 44 mag...

As said above, trade for a Ruger Redhawk if you want a 44.

I have had two Taurus 44 mag revolvers.  Both failed under fire (cylinder locked up on one and timing went off on the other).  Both went back and were repaired for free and then promptly sold.  I will never own another Taurus.

Quite possibly. A friend had a .41 mag Taurus kaboom on him in a big way.

In my "formative" years I owned two Taurus revolvers. Both failed me when they broke parts.

Taurus quality control, reliability and durability are always questionable. Some people have been lucky, great for them. Others have not been so lucky with Taurus. I know from first-hand experience that their "Customer Service" is non-existent even on a brand new gun. I can only imagine how less than unhelpful they could be with resolving issues with a second-hand gun.

IMHO- A Taurus product may be a good gamble if you are on budget with no hopes of coming up with any more money but a G20 is a proven product and I wouldn't trade it for somebody else's problem.

I have a .480 raging bull and have had it for years.  Works great.

Of course in GD, Taurus isn't the flavor of the month.

A year ago the 92 was the best ever in this forum.
