[@mrdato116]

Taurus 692 3 inch 357mag is my most favorite revolver of all time. With new rubber grips they put it looks so good, not old ribbed ones. Ported barrel, 7 shot , not super heavy. Plus spare 9mm cylinder is great. Best looking revolver in my opinion.

[@fairnheight3673]

Yessir, it’s a true fighting revolver, I’ve put full power 357 mag loads in it and honestly it’s easier to control than my Heritage Rough Rider 357. I just wish I bought the stainless instead of black.

[@mrdato116]

@@fairnheight3673 I think I like black one more, need to check in person. Thanks for the info

[@Malpaise_Legate]

The one thing I appreciate the most about Taurus' design is the wide trigger they have by default. While getting familiar to Colt or Uberti / Piettas more traditional narrow offset triggers is not difficult, it still feels a bit off for those who are accustomed to more modern triggers.

Very cool man! Love the look of the old Colt clone Single Action Army wheel guns with the 4.75” barrel!!! Only thing better is a 3.5” barrel with a birds head grip. Little trick for you…. Some folks will advise against it, but I like to do this…. When ejecting an empty shell casings, immediately replace that with a live round. Then go to the next chamber and repeat. Basically you save a tiny little bit of time in loading as you are not having to go around with the cylinder twice (once to empty and once to load).

[@mrweeby1961]

Hopefully this version will have a better success rate than the older Gaucho model. When I got into SA revolvers I researched all the brands available at that time and went with the Ruger Vaquero Bisley in stainless, the older model before they came out with the New Vaquero. The Taurus, Beretta and other Italian clones were also options. Since then I've gotten more into them and have some from EMF, Cimmaron, Pietta, Beretta and Uberti. I've found the Pietta built guns are more true to the original Colt...at least as far as the hammer. They have a true 4 click with no safeties but I did buy a Uberti base pin with the dual notches that acts as a hammer block safety. Overall the Piettas have the best lightest action and the Uberti is a little better finished on the metal edges. If I had to keep only one though it would be the Ruger. I'm thinking about one of these new Taurus models but giving them a little time to see how good they are. Looks nice though. I'd get the 357 only because of cheaper 38 special ammo. Thanks for reviewing one!

[@CarolinaEDCreviews]

Love to try other brands as well, but this one is definitely not bad at all

What I would consider ideal would be a single action style with a swing out cylinder and double action capability. That's my ideal. As of right now, the only revolver that has met my criteria, that I'm aware of, was the High Standard in 22 mag. Haven't seen one in years, but they did make it at one time. How about doing this again in a decent caliber??? ( 32 H&R mag, 327 Federal, 357 mag, 9mm with moon clips, 10mm with moon clips, etc).

[@CarolinaEDCreviews]

If i could get them all trust me I would, but is not easy to do

[@crawwwfishh3284]

I got the high standard 22 mag model 106 or 104 sweet gun.

[@mkshffr4936]

Check out the Schofield clones in 45 Colt. They are break top auto eject. Use 45 S&W (Schofield) brass which has wider rim for more positive ejection along with N Frame speed loaders. Just as fast as the swing out cylinder and can be emptied with one hand. They are about twice the price of a Deputy but beautiful machines. They also make them in .38 Special.

[@oreopuppydawg1564]

Wonder if it will handle the heavy ruger only loads?

[@CarolinaEDCreviews]

Can’t say for sure 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@mkshffr4936]

The .357 handles any SAMMI loads. As far as I know there are no Ruger only loads in .357. For 45 Colt it is SAMMI specs only. No Ruger loads. That said a full SAMMI specs load should handle anything one is likely to encounter. Remember the original black powder load was designed to take out a horse in battle. Interestingly a full black powder load is more powerful than most smokeless loads but with the right powder you can get close enough. A 250gr LSWC at 850-950 fps has a lot of thump. It is more than a .45 ACP.

[@edshultz9760]

Is it a 2 clicks or 4 clicks when cocking. Slow down when shooting. It's not an auto loader it well shoot different point of aim. Shoot faster when you better.

[@ser1jxm]

I will probably order one of these. It looks like a great revolver. One concern/question: It looks like the hammer spur is a very long reach for your thumb. It seems a little cumbersome to cock. Agree/disagree? Have you had an issue with that?

[@CarolinaEDCreviews]

It is a little longer then I preferred but use the off hand to cock it 🤷🏽‍♂️
