I had a Taurus 94 SS - 9 shot .22LR. The trigger was 20+ lbs in DA and it had a hair SA trigger, internals were all jagged, poorly finished, just gnarly, ....and you couldn't get the spent brass out. It got banged up during the protracted "extraction process" It went back, 2X (maybe more) IIRC - same problems every time. Oh and it spit lead and the lock up was weak too.

I sold it and bought a S&W 34-1. No problems whatsoever.

So, for only $100 more, I met the requirement - FOREVER - filled by a .22LR revolver. But it took a S&W to do that.

Do NOT get me started on Rossi's....
