Hopefully that will help us get more folks to play.

The Surgeon Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Could be a nice alternative to a Ruger if its as reliable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think it is as good if not better than the Gaucho they had a long time ago. Limited Lifetime Warranty, with CNC machined parts should be smooth enough for most, but I am sure there will be those who will want to modify them and we will hear more then. But at $606, they are priced comparably. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griff Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 The actual description lists it as single action... that abbreviation is probably just web-geek oversight... But, it's still a transfer bar action... I doubt it will be a front runner out of the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watab kid Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 i have one of the older ones in brushed stainless that was slicked up when i got it , its a great revolver , i might be a candidate to try one of these , wish they offered it in brushed stainless but ill think on a black one a bit , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imis Twohofon,SASS # 46646 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 (edited) I have a couple of Gauchos. They have proven tough and reliable. There was almost no support as Beretta bought them then killed the Gaucho since it was a direct competitor to their poor performing Stampede. If the Deputy is equal to or better than the Gaucho, I would consider buying. Imis I have just compared one of the Gauchos to the pictures of the Deputy, they appear identical except for markings. No way to know if they are identical internally. Edited January 24 by Imis Twohofon,SASS # 46646 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimble Fingers SASS# 25439 Posted January 24 Author Share Posted January 24 I believe the manual is including all the revolvers Taurus makes. The Deputy is a single action only. And while I am not enamored by the “black” finish, if it came in .44 magnum, I would get one. It would go will with the Rossi 92’s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure if a true clone of the SAA as far as frame size goes there would be no way to fit a cylinder beefy enough to withstand 44 mag pressures. Pretty much the reason ruger super blackhawks and OMVs are so big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watab kid Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 i keep looking at this thread and thinking i need to talk to my gun guy to see if he can find one for me , i dont need another but i want one to make my set of one old and one new complete , i looked a few years ago but could not find an older version for sale at the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evil dogooder Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 I played with the prototype that they had at the big rock trades show. Injection molded Hammer that I have serious concerns about holding up. Also the grips are a definite no go. But that's an easy swap. They haven't done any serious testing as of January on longevity. We have a couple coming that we are going to do a first shot, and 5000 rd review on. They also have what looked like a steoger clone coach gun coming out as well. It's lighter and needs some love from springs and action work but might be a good entry level shotgun 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palmetto Traveller Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 It's interesting the specs say it comes in a "black" finish yet the pics clearly show a stainless steel firearm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Moon Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Fool me once; shame on you. Fool me twice; shame on me. I purchased a 24/7 OSS/DS, MSRP about $625, it was recalled and they offered a G2C, (MSRP about $249) in exchange. Failure to accept their offer voided the forever warranty. No refunds even with a receipt. Now why would I feel like I've been screwed? The only thing worse than their product, is their willingness to stand behind them. They unsold me!

No. Polished blue, which reflects light enough to be visually tricky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way to know if they are identical internally. in rereading i caught your approval of the originals , i too found that mine was tough as nails and i shot it a lot for a long time - till i bought my rugers , it stood up really well and i abused it , it still looks great and shoots great , it is the backup that i have always carried for my pair of rugers , i will continue to do it , i also have a berretta stampede , its in 38/357 so not in the same kit as my gaucho that is 45colt , but its also the backup revolver to my main set , i have not had an issue with this either but its not gotten the use/abuse my others have im still in the market for one of these new ones i think , at this point in life why not ? i can always sell it if i dont like it or just pass it down with the rest when im gone , i think ill make a call to my LGG tomorrow to see if he can get me one , 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
