Finally Got The New .44 To The Range...
I picked up this Taurus 431 .44 Special awhile ago and finally got it to the range. Here are 5 shots (indoor range) at 40 feet. Sweet shooting gun.

Special Bull
Congratulations on finding that Taurus .44S&W Special.
Thank you for sharing a picture.
The .44S&W Special is one of my favorite Cartridges.
The Best to you and your Endeavors.

Looks great, but it's a Taurus, so you should probably at least pretend to hate it if you aren't going to make absurdly unfair comparisons to guns which cost at least twice as much, or neglect the heck out of it because "it's just a Taurus" then blame it on shoddy workmanship when it fails.
Also, you should probably get rid of it because I have it on good authority from a friend's uncle's acquaintance who spoke with a man on the back of a bus who claimed to be a prophet, that the colony of Ronaoke was actually sucked into a hole in the space-time continuum which occurred as a result of a Taurus Revolver firing out of time and exploding, and the only way to prevent the Illuminati Astro-Zombie Apocalypse is for everyone to run backwards so that the world will rotate counterclockwise until time goes in reverse.
Sorry about that, I'm conducting an experiment based on the theory that only a fixed amount of ignorance, absurdity, and outrageous claims can exist within a single thread on any given internet forum, so I'm attempting to evaluate what that precise threshold is. Unfortunately, the only way to be sure is if nobody else posts anything like what I posted just now.
Congratulations on your new gun.

Fortunately, I think we can count on it.

I would have been very, very tempted if I saw that in my LGS, and I already have a Taurus 445 Ultra-lite.
Nice score.

Two things matter most: 1-- do you like it? 2 -- does it shoot as well as you expect it....
that's all that matters... So its a.. Taurus... Taurus is a quality gunmaker...lifetime warranty on its products.
Congrats!!!

Forte Smitten Wesson, I buy that theory. That, and lottery tickets this weekend, I pay off the new car I didn't need to buy yesterday because a neighbor destroyed my old one.
