So I just pitcked up my new Taurus 605 today. Installed a set of Crimson Trace laser grips. The laser needed a bit of adjusting to get to the point of impact. But now it pretty much hits where the dot is at 7-15 yards.

The Taurus's fit and finish look excellent and bluing is a very deap black. Trigger in single action is great, double action is ok at best hopefully it will smooth out with some more use. I Put about 70 rounds of 38s threw it and 10 357mags "man is it snappy with the 357s in it" but the 38's were joy. The factory front site is all but useless the all black sites just kind of dissapear. The CTC grips are great & make up for that plus add that little dot of fear. I was even able to put 4 out of 5 rounds touching each other within a inch of bullseye at 7 yards (I am not a super pistol shot) but for a 2 in revolver that will do for me. All in all I think it will be a excellent little pistol.

I have a 3" stainless and really like it. I find no problem with the 357s up to 140 grain, but above that it does get a bit stout. I use 125s and/or Glasers for carry anyway.
You can find tons of grips, wood and otherwise, on eBay. I missed getting one when they made them back in the '90s, and jumped on it this past Summer as soon as it became available. The cylinder is bigger than the old one by a hair, too.
