***CALL OFF THE HOUNDS, SEE BELOW****
I am looking for a Taurus Tracker in .357, 4" or 6.5" barrel. The supply around central OH seems to have dried up. I sometimes see them advertised for $299, however as of late they have been hard to find let alone at that price. If you see one at your local shop or in an ad at a decent price, can you let me know. I do not mind driving (especially for a new toy), so just about anywhere in Ohio is game. I have a WTB ad in the EE, but thought you local guys might be able to help as well. Thanks for looking. Here is what they look like..... BTW, for the finder I offer a tall frosty Miller Lite and a box of WWB .223   |

New or used for 299? That is less than dealer price for new.

399.00 NIB at MC sporting goods in Strongsville.....That is last week when I was there.
Good luck Bro. I used to have one I traded for a 1911. One of the best double actions I've ever had! |

CDNN has several for $299, but they're in .45acp & .45LC.
I'll check my sources...see if I can find any in my area next time I'm scrounging. |

I had the 4" model and it was a sweet shooting gem,I just couldn't deal with the foot long flames that came out of the barrel ports when I used full house magnum loads,at the indoor range it was scorching the walls next to me.I traded it to another Ohio member for a S+W which my grandson quickly laid claim to.

It was last year around this time. Buckeye Outdoors had them new at that price. I knew that I should have jumped then. Thanks for the offers to keep an eye out. If you see one let me know. |

Call off the hounds boys!!! I found what I was looking for, well sort of. I found a Taurus M66 in .357 with a 6" barrel, 7 shot, no porting. My search led me to this little beauty for $280, plus $20 shipping. I couldn't pass it up at that price. Here are the pics. I will give you guys a report when she arrives.

I've a 608 with a 8 3/8 barrel. I can say that they shoot as good or better than a Smith. I got to get a scope on it.

Thank goodness you found something. I've got the exact model you pictured at the top, a 627 6" in stainless. I picked it up for $175 from a friend who needed money quick, and I'd hate to have to choose between it and a profit. It would be like selling one of the kids.
Like aegis says, Taurus makes some great guns. Enjoy your M66! |

Well, she arrived at the FFL today. Here is a pic. I am very pleased with the condition. I would consider this to be like new, and for only $280 I am extremely pleased.

I think you should bring it over so I, I mean you, can test it out and see if I, I mean you like it. |

That's a great deal on a nice gun. Some people don't like Taurus pistols but I think their revolvers are excellent quality for the money.

I have a blued version of that exact same gun.
It is easily one of the best pistols I own and is probably my absolute favorite. |

Pretty sweet! I think your gonna like it, Taurus has come a long way since their crappy offerings years ago. I have a Tracker in 45Colt that I like alot, damn accurate and fun to shoot w/handloads.
The next time we meet up maybe we can swap a few cylinders..... cheers, Mike |

:::heh::: Looks good. I like the plastic guns as much as any others..... I'm also happy with all of the Taurus handguns I've gathered up in the recent years. Reliable, and a good value. Thus far, I have a .32 magnum with CTC grips, a .22 Tracker with 6" barrel, a .357" and .17 HMR with 12 " barrels, and a 24/7 .40 pistol. They all cycle as well as anything else I have. |

How do you like the 24/7? I have handled one and it felt very nice. I am seriously considering getting one. Tell me the pros and cons that you have noticed with it. I figure if it was the NRA gun of the year, it must be ok.

I like it just fine, considering what I keep it for. Self defense. The trigger is long and heavy, but that's OK with me. With adrenaline flowing, I'd have no problem pulling it. It's comfy, recoil is a little snappy -but not at all intimidating-. I've run about 900 rounds through it, with various ammo, and it's been fine with all of it. Mine came with two mags. A ten and a fifteen. I have an M6 light snapped on the front of it. I like enough to consider getting another in 9mm soon.
