Thumbs up Taurus 38 special..model 85B

hello guys well i finally got a revolver its a Taurus 38 special ,5shots I'm not sure on the exact model bec it was a used one so if anybody know what the model# is just chime in..I was really planning on getting the RIA 38 special but my dealer wont give me a fair price on the trade of my 22/45 so i went to my usual gunshop and saw this taurus, got a good trade $50 more than the other dealer so i just added $75 bucks and out the door i go
here she is..nothing fancy but I will replace the grips with CT grips as soon as the fund allows..

Thumbs up

Congrats on your new wheel gun! Those wood grips look to be in nice shape... maybe just need a little TLC... why do you want to replace 'em?

Disclaimer: I love wood grips, and IMO nicely grained, nicely stained grips just add to the beauty of the firearm. I've got two wheel guns (S&W Model 10 (nickel finish) and Model 64) and a semi-auto (Kahr T40) with wood grips, and love their appearance.

You will probably be happier with the Taurus anyways for a revolver.

BUG?

...and why would you trade your 22/45?

Other than that, it looks like a nice piece. Enjoy.

I think it's a M-85, I have the 605 with CT grips and it's just the 357 version of the 85

Nice wheel gun vikz.
I would say you got a good deal on it.

I'm hoping to pick up a S&W 642 tomorrow.
I already bought the CT grips for it.
It will be my first revolver.
