You'll get a few "hate 'em's" about Taurus, but I own a couple of their revolvers and love them to death (Raging Hornet and 608).
My Taurus PT-99 Beretta clone shot as well as my factory Beretta 92FS. They are good guns, and those Trackers are really neat. Is it the Titanium model she wants? |

The 608 is a cool piece. Taurus is alot like S&W to me because their revolvers kick ass and their automatics are kinda rough.
edit: guess I should actually address the question at hand. The Tracker series have a good reputation. Taurus has excellent customer service. Some people will say "why do you want a gun made in South America?" My response to that is my East German Makarov. It doesn't know that it was made under crappy conditions by overworked peasants working for hard-line communist totalitarians, and I'm not going to tell it. Right now its a 100% reliable, accurate, and beautifully finished firearm, and I sure wouldn't want to spoil that by telling it where it was made! [lol] |

Quoted: Thanks for the reply. No this one is stainless. Stainless is a good choice for a gun that is going to be "shot" more than it's "carried". I'm on my 3rd 608 (1st one stolen, 2nd one sitting somewhere at the bottom of a swamp bed in Central Florida) and it's my main "go-to" when i'm out in the woods. Revolvers are cool like that because you can load them with snakeshot and varying loads, and they still cycle. A great asset to have when you're in the woods or swamp. |

Vic,
If you dig, you'll find the complaints go something like this 1) It ain't a S&W or a Colt 2) Ever try to use that lifetime warranty? I have and here's my horror story 3) They lock up around X number of rounds You gotta dig pretty deep to find the last two issues. I love my Taurus although it did come with a small problem that Imbroglio helped me diagnose. I had a bad rusting issue on my stainless cylinder. Turns out the factory installed a polished regular steel cylinder on it. I like it with a blued cylinder and won't be having Taurus fix it.
