Yes, had one, tried carrying it, then shelved it for a S&W 442, later sold Taurus 85 used. OK gun, but be sure you get to handle the gun first before you buy. Taurus QC is hit or miss, and you don't want to have to deal with Taurus CS if you get a flakey one.
S&W 442 can be had for $320 to $350 depending on where you guy it, and it is a lighter and better 5-shot .38.

What the previous guy said....I agree. I've had a few Tauruses....Tauri....whatever, and they've been either acceptable or complete crap. The good ones aren't as finely finished as a Smith or even a Ruger, but they seem to be fine. The crappy ones are just that....
I wouldn't try to talk you out of one, but I wouldn't try to talk you into one either.

Im with these guys.
Old school Taurus 85's are usually good to go. The new ones? It's a crap shoot.
Had an older Taurus 85 bought used. I had a few misfires. Thought it might have been the ammo. Sold it.
Rather have a Ruger or Smith revolver...

M85 is a good gun for the money. You gonna share the link?
The model 85 is one of the decent Taurus wheelguns. That's a good price, too.
