They are good for the money. I've owned 2 Taurus revolvers in 357, a 6" model 66 and a 7 shot snubby. They shot pretty good. The company has come a long way in the last decade. But i would go for a Ruger. They are strong as you can get and, you can get Redhawks and SBH for about the same price or less than a Raging Bull. If you manage to blow one of those up, you got what you deserved.
