Description:
After the flurry of firearms sales died down in 1982, and prices began deflating, Taurus used the lull for innovative purposes. After years of following their Smith & Wesson ancestors, Taurus began taking a leadership role. This Taurus model 85 represents Taurus's leadership, and others' following, to use technological advances in steel work and investment casting to bring the Chief's Special class of revolvers to a state of withstanding .357 Magnum loads. This is the standard, all stainless Model 85 Taurus, product Code 2-605029, manufactured in Brazil for Taurus International in Miami. It has an all steel, full lug 2 inch barrel. Capacity, of course, is 5 rounds; fixed notch rear sight and blade front sight atop a matte finished sighting plane for diminished glare; matte stainless steel frame; satin stainless hammer and trigger. The hammer strikes a floating firing pin, and in addition to the transfer bar internal safety, this revolver comes with Taurus's patented and inconspicuous hammer lock with one key. Grips are pliable semi-pebbled rubber combat with finger grooves and faint palm swells. At 24 ounces, the grips along with the steel frame make for an optimal combination of lightness and maneuverability. This specimen is one we sold locally in 2009, and it has been fired fewer than 50 times. Surface detractions are minimal, only faint cylinder rotation marking and faint amounts of buffing on some of the sharp edges. We classify it as Excellent, since less than 10 percent of its surfaces are affected, but photos ought to suffice for our distinguished shoppers to judge finish grade for themselves. It is certainly excellent mechanically. Pricing on the standard Model 605 in our area is upwards of $400, if a person can even find one. We're offering them, though; the revolver in the photo or one of its identical mates, for only $ 329.95 Not transferable to civilians in Massachusetts. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Handguns: $10 flat fee lower 48 states; $30 to Alaska, Hawaii or Puerto Rico, USPS Priority Mail, insured with Delivery Confirmation.

Don't let your buddies use your account. Registered user must be the buyer, with his or her own money. Buying firearms and related items for other people can result in felony charges. Don't try, either, to circumvent any law; for example, a California civilian may not buy a high capacity magazine and have it shipped to his brother-in-law in Nevada. That is a felony.
GA Pay buyers are NOT charged until we confirm we have the item and are ready to ship it. The same thing is true for phone-in, fax-in, and mail-in payments. In this respect, and in several others, Guns America outshines all its competitors. This is the best firearms website there is, hands down.
