From his YouTube series ShootFast: www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPX09SNNByIsorry I didn't embed the video, all of the hyperlink buttons in the toolbar forward me to the newest threads page. I can spoil it though, he shoots it fast and on target. |

That pistol reminds me of the Model 627 made by S&W in appearance as well as performance. I am still saving my pennies for one of them as its on my wish list very strongly. The 627 that is. I would have to try the Rhino out to give my opinion on it of course but it does seem to fire quite nicely. I also know if anybody knows how to use it Jerry does for certain.

Blueglass, you are comparing apples to oranges. The Rhino is totally a different animal. On the Rhino the barrel is in-line with the bottom of the cylinder instead of the top. That reduces muzzle flip. Internally it is very different. I think the 627 is the only revolver that I have that holds 8 rounds (I guess in NY you would have to just load 7 rounds). If you only had money for one revolver, I'd definitely go for the 627 vs. the Rhino. Why did I buy the Rhino? Hey, I never made any claim for sanity.

The 627 is one of Jerry's favorites too. The 625 is the other I see him shoot often.

....Jerry would use the 625 because of the moon clips, for speed loading.

I also would take the 627 myself as I am still saving for one at this time. I think it's one of the prettiest wheel guns I have ever seen or fired. I really enjoyed the hand feel and balance of it as well. I wonder if they have made Moon clips to fit it yet?

I got to -play but not shoot a new Tauras 686 wheel gun yesterday at my buddies small gunshop. It holds 8 rounds and is nickel plated or stainless with a 6" barrel. Nice target sights but the different thing about it is that the barrel is fluted like a Muzzle brake on the last 1" of it. He swears this gun does not lift in either 357 or 38 spec which it shouldn't really but sits perfect in your hand when fired. He has sold quite a few for a one very small bedroom sized gunshop. Its somewhat a larger framed gun but balanced not too bad. I'll be shooting his soon and will let you know what its like afterwards. Its about $659.95 up here plus tax.

Blueglass, that model number for the Taurus doesn't ring a bell. However, I do have a Taurus in 357 Magnum that is ported, and it has very little noticable recoil. I let Becky shoot it years ago, but I put 357 Magnum rounds in a 38 Special box. She did very well with it. When we were cleaning up the brass, I had her look at it and then told her what I'd done. Had she known in advance, she would have been flinching so badly the bullets would be hitting the dirt.
I think Taurus makes a fine revolver, but my gut feeling is that they aren't as good as Smith & Wesson.

....Jerry Miculek would use the S&W 27, and chamber the 38 special loads for less recoil and less muzzle flip. I have a four inch S&W 27-2, with a 8 lb. double action trigger stroke, and when I chamber this revolver with 38 special cartridges it's like shooting a .22 or a pellet pistol. Smooth, Fast,No Muzzle Flip, and No Recoil. The Jerry Miculek is also a Gunsmith, and quite good on performing trigger jobs on the S&W Revolvers.
