Editor’s Take:
We know this gun hits close to the heart of Taurus’ Caleb Giddings, a former Athlon staffer and wheelgun shooter. Knowing that, we trust the team really listened to the action shooting community to put together a revolver ready to hit the firing line and compete. At first glance, this one looks to deliver exactly that with a nice blend of chamberings, fiber-optic front sight, adjustable rear, moon clip cuts and overall look and appeal. All that’s left is finding out how it shoots. We hope to get one in the hands of our writer’s real soon for a full evaluation. But from the jump, it looks like a winner!
