Just the opposite of what they say over at the Taurus forum! I like the Model 44, nice clean standard gun. It would be my next wheel gun.Taurus revolvers don't have the best reputation and from what I've heard their customer service is also lacking. That's not to say that you won't get a good shooter but for the amount of complaints I hear I'd say stay away from them. If your set on a 44 I'd suggest scouring the used gun racks.
I own a Taurus 66,.357 magnum, 7 shot 6" barrel. It the most accurate firearm I have fired. Absolutly love it!!!
