On the Range: Taurus 608 First Impressions

Cool gun, I dig the review. I hate that you even had to discuss your own appearance/fitness. I got married/had kids and gained some weight too. You keep doing your thing. All love from here, bro.

How does it shoot after having it for ~7 months? Looking to possibly purchase one of these for hiking as a defense against wild boar, but I’ve seen that Taurus has a reputation for malfunctioning guns. I know they are under new management now, so I was just curious to see if you had any problems. I suppose I could use it as a club if it malfunctioned, seeing as it weighs in at over 40oz unloaded, but I’d rather not play whack-a-mole with a wild hog

Honestly, it functions as intended. I'm not used to revolvers, so there are occasions where I short stroke the trigger and spin the cylinder instead of shooting. That's mostly shooter error and not a fault on the firearm. I haven't had any other complaints outside of that.
