Default Taurus 44 spl UL

New for 3 1/2 bills the ultralight weighs 19.5 oz. Five rnd 2" barrel in blue. SS finish is also available. The large ribber grip works fine, but I was looking for something smaller.

Years ago I talked Rossi out of a 357 grip that I hoped would fit a Rossi 38. They told me it wouldn't though I prevailed. It arrived 9-12 months down the road and wasn;t even close.

However, it did w/mild modification fit the 44spl UL. W/medium power, 200gn Blazer, cartridges it is pleasant enough to shoot. All bets are off if you move up to 400+ ftlbs ME.

About K frame size though very light. Unless you have large hands I would look for a smaller grip to conceal carry. The Blazer rnds are peppy esp. w/smaller grip, but nowhere near punishing. CB loads are very smooth.

Speaking of so is the trigger. All in all it seems to represent a good value in price/finish/function. YMMV

The older style smaller rubbers make it more concealable, and more of a handful. It is very light and easy to carry. Theis makes a hybrid holster for it.
