Who here has a Taurus 85 or 856? And what are your opinions on them? I just need a truck revolver and one where i can use snake shot if needed. Thanks, Sarge

often taurus the triggers aren't much to write home about , but they shoot ok

you might look at these RIA M200 they have a decent trigger for a 225 dollar gun

the wife has had a 85 for over 20 yrs and still rolling and shoots it monthly at least

The 856 will be a bit bulkier/heavier IF ya think a 6th shot is gonna help.

When I think I may need more, out comes the 15 shot Browning Hi-Power.

John, I'm good with either or 5 or 6 I don't mind. I want one in stainless for plinking, carrying and trapping(snakeshot). Anything more , then the .45 comes out. Don't need but one round for anything. Personally witnessed myself. Still miss my police issued Model 19. Best darn trigger I've ever squeezed.
Thanks guys for all your help. Sarge
