Some revolvers are ridiculous to the point where they are useless as self-defense guns. The single action pull on the Taurus 85 Revolver is nice and even shooting double action, the pull is very reasonable, something that can’t always be said about some DA guns. The 90 grain Hornady is another possibility for carry. Even with the short barrel, velocities over 1400 fps were achieved. In fact, if I carried it with the 50 grain, Liberty would be a top choice.
Even with the Liberty Ammo, recoil wasn’t an issue. Shooting the gun with lightweight bullets proves to be pleasant. 38 bullet 75 grs, nice for light target work Taurus makes an extensive line up of guns and for more info you can go to A novel. Would I carry the Taurus 85 Revolver? That will be determined during testing. In addition, it is uncommon in self-defense shootings that you would need more then 5 shots, especially if you have some training. With the modern ammo available, you have five rounds of good stopper loads. 38 special rounds (+P Rated), which are more effective then many of the small rounds used in the semi auto pistols. However, in the Taurus 85 Revolver, they are. Some may point out that you have only five shots, which is true and valid limitation. That’s why they make so many different guns, so everyone can buy one that suits their needs. My pocket gun is always a revolver for those reasons. A self-defense gun should be able to get into action immediately without worrying about side issues. When you have to focus on pulling the trigger instead of the situation at hand, then you have a serious gun problem. People with small or weak hands would not be able to use some of them. You would think that they could design a better trigger but apparently, that isn’t the case.
