Is Taurus Trash??? 692 EG First Impression and comparison
มุมมอง 6K2 หลายเดือนก่อน
Taking an honest look at the 692 Executive grade Taurus. In this first impression video I take a python and a 586 classic to run next to the first rounds out of a new Taurus. I have no sponsors. Nothing was gifted to me. I just enjoy talking about revolvers. BLUF: The Taurus punches way above it's weight class. It is the nicest out of the box revolver I have put my hands on. My expectations wer...

As someone who bought the S&W 432 UC, I would advise anyone to look at Taurus before S&W, at least until they get their QC issues worked out. Strange to say, but as of now there are better odds of you getting a lemon from S&W than Taurus.
Very cool but the reloads appear to flag yourself and break the 180 rule. Maybe I'm wrong but it is mighty close if it's not.
Taurus 22 cal revolvers are hit or miss, the 692 is spectacular!
❤

Hot stuff ❤

I like the factory current day Tracker/Judge grip for them.
Good info, thanks
what optic mount is that?
Damios form rainbow six siege
Ironically it felt like your long distance shots were quicker than your close shots. That 5star was damn good shootin.
The classic yell of frustration
This is the greatest 😂
Is the Python you tested an older version?
Taurus trash? You must be joking.
Nice run
Time to run my 586. Thanks man
Good times!
Too bad Taurus doesn't offer it without the ports.
❤🔥❤️🔥🤘🤘
Great shooting and great choice of music. Aldo Nova and wheelguns pair up nicely.
I'm a fan.

Those moon clips seem rather finicky. Are they as akward as it looks to reload?
Reloads typically go better than that for me. I never practice reloading seated and I didn't really have my typical index points. I have some other videos with more typical reloads. Moonclips are great for sport. But I never carry them for defense.
Ah ok, that makes sense. I've been considering getting into competition revolver shooting and trying to determine what divisions to shoot.
@Maxiius that's great! It's a lot of fun and very satisfying. Check out icore.org and see if there is a club near you. You could see what people are running there and what division you might like best.
Well three great revolvers. Between the S&W and Taurus I pick the S&W all day long. Have experience with both of them and the S&W trigger beat the Taurus to the punch. No Colt experience whatsoever but looking forward to it! 686 is my favorite 357 mag revolver over Taurus , Ruger , Rossi, AEE Windicator , even Kimber . My opinion respecting everyone else.
Nice...
That looks great. I'm going to get mine cerakoted burnt bronze eventually
Good choice!
Can I have those wood grips lol. I'm currently in the process of getting Taurus to send me another pair of grips since mine broke when I fired the 357 magnums. Pieces of the grips came off under the finger guard area.
@@DebaterJace message me on instagram. We can figure something out.
@@CollectorCompetitor Taurus took good care of it I got my new grips in the mail after only 3 days.
I have the black 3” 692 and the ports do help tame the 357 round and makes the 38 or 9mm feel like a 22
Nice job SHO, that's really hard.
We need some tabletop with the black 929. Looks fantastic.
@@1awrenceofarabia that would be easy. I'll do that soon.
Awesome stuff!! I gotta get to one of these matches.
Been eyeing the Taurus for a few weeks now, but there's a few others I'm considering as well. Like the 586 carry comp, the 929, or the 627 v8 by S&W. You can tell you're experienced with revolvers, from shooting to unloading it's definitely noticeable which gives credibility to your opinion. Good video sir!!
Thanks for the comment. What do you plan on using it for? I have the 66 carry comp(same as the 19 carry comp but stainless) it has been my main carry gun for years. Big fan of the 627 and 929 as well.
@CollectorCompetitor strictly range use and to have a twist on a modern revolver makes it unique and something very desirable to own regardless if I shoot it or not. But I will...lol plenty! The longer 929 & 627 are more pleasing to my eyes but the 9mm conversion is hard to ignore. Also I need to look up this model 66 in SS because that sounds intriguing too, I would prefer a larger grip on it though that's why the model 19/ 586 have me iffy...
@@jknewb6276 in that case, 627 V Comp. You can shoot anything through it. Looks great. Very versatile. A factory 929 is disappointing to me. They feel way overpriced for what you get. But this taurus is really impressive and little more than half the price of the 627 V. You may like the grip better on that one too. It is a full size altamont from the factory. I think my 66 comp is from 2006? They were made under the performance center line back then. I stumbled upon it "used" at a local store. I have some pictures of it on my instagram page.
I'm using VZ Grip on my S&W Mod 15. It's been great so far. Less casing stuck on the left high-back of the grip like it was on Hogue Rubber grip.
I got mine put on tonight. It doesn't fit real tight though. Kind of rattles around a little bit. I might try adding a layer of duct tape to the pin or something.
Seriously, it is an excellent wheel gun. I might be in the minority but I thought it was significantly better than the Colt; both in the trigger/action and the feel in your hand. If Taurus ever comes out with a 9mm 8 shot, I'll be seriously considering switching teams from S&W.
I think a lot of companies have been riding the coat tails of their previous success. Not really maintaining quality control or innovation in the process. Taurus has clearly been trying to make a better product. I agree with you on the Colt. I really do like the python. But the 692 EG is hands down a better wheelgun.
That looked like a great match. Hopefully I can make it down that way next year.
I hope you do! I would like us to shoot a match together soon.
Awesome. Thanks for sharing how you shot each stage and explaining.
Thanks for the feedback.
4:55 I should have caught you breaking the 180 on your reload so that i could have dq'ed both Tippets and taken third overall.
Interesting stages. Did you get any P.E.' for dropping live rounds?
No P.E. loose rounds don't incur a penalty. But dropping a magazine, speedloader, or moonclip with live rounds in it would incur that penalty. This got litigated a lot. Our regional area coordinator came back with the call on it though.
I just want some soup

The Taurus 692 is my all-time favorite gun! I now have 900 rounds thru my Taurus 692 3" barrel (Non-Executive Grade). It is a smooth revolver, and I have not had any problems with it whatsoever. It is so reliable and runs both 357 magnum and 9MM flawlessly! The cylinder switch out is just awesome! Such a fun little gun....and it is a beauty! I love the non-fluted cylinders!!!
I really like the look of the non fluted cylinders as well. Like the Colt Grizzly or the old 610's. I am really impressed with the 692. Anxious to see how it holds up as the round count increases.
@@CollectorCompetitor By the way, I absolutely love how you do all double action shooting. I have been shooting since I was 10. Those older guys always taught me to learn how to shoot in double action only and to never pull the hammer back! To each their own, but I do believe learning how to shoot in double action only has increased my accuracy and preparedness. Thank you very much for your videos!
@@marvinmartian7 Thanks. I appreciate the support. I totally agree with you. Mastering the double action of a revolver makes you an all around better handgunner.
Imagine if you had a 686 with the same cylinder swap. 10x better
Clean run man
Thanks
Unloaded starts with revolver are sick.
Thanks
The 929 looks great in black.
Thanks
I just picked up a standard grade 692 and I love it, the only complaint I have is the moon clips that came with it, every one of them broke while loading and unloading them. A company called TK customs makes moon clips for it that work great and don't break.
The factory moonclips are trash. TkCustom has all of the goodstuff. I use them for pretty much everything revolver related.
I got my 692 executive grade a few days ago and man I am not disappointed. It's so unique with the changeable cylinders for a 9mm. So it's also more affordable to shoot than my other revolvers. I can see in the long run I will have had more training with the Taurus than my smith and Wessons. Another thing is it just looks so good compared to my other revolvers. The finish is definitely better and more consistent throughout the gun than my other more expensive revolvers. I got mine for 849.99 out the door.
I like my small frame Taurus 856 +P Defender three inch snub a lot. Sub compact size and great for carry if I can get away with hiding it on my thin body. Time of year and clothing will most likely dictate when I can carry it. The more I pull the factory trigger the better it gets. Just takes wear in and I will not put in an aftermarket trigger. Nor do I polish or mess with it. I just wear it in. But its not a bad trigger out of the box. A little heavy but smooth DA that can be staged. Clean SA break. I got no complaints. Great that the executive grade has that great trigger out of the box. Thanks for the wheel love.
I would absolutely give the 856 a try after using this 692. Glad to hear you have had a good experience with yours. Taurus has been making a bunch of improvements and sponsoring the revolver shooting sports a lot lately.
@@CollectorCompetitor As with any gun new or used, revolver or auto, the buyer needs to inspect it before buying. You would not buy a car out of time and nor should you buy a revolver out of time. Test drive and if not then test alignment, lock up in both DA and SA, and pull the trigger a lot. Basically check for proper function of the revolver or auto. There is a warranty if necessary.
My first 44 magnum was the Taurus model 44 8" barrel 10 years ago and I had nothing but problems with it. The cylinder was hitting the forcing cone causing it not to go back in, and the hammer bar broke. You could still pull the hammer back the the trigger wont move and the cylinder won't turn. Sent it back several times and they did fix it but it came back marked up with scratches all over the cylinder, front of the barrel nicked up and I was pissed so sold it for a 629 44 and no looking back. I've seen a few Taurus's I've like especially the Raging Bull but it's just too risky to me.
Yeah, I've heard some horror stories about Taurus but the 692 has been really good to me so far. My father bartered some remodeling work for some guns and one of those was a .44 mag raging pull, nickel plated with a factory port. He sold it back in 2020. I really wish I would have snagged it now. I had no interest in revolvers back then. We shot it several times on holidays. Never had an issue. But it really didn't have many rounds through it.
That was back then. Taurus is not the same at all. Last several years, their revolvers are light-years better
@@logangodofcandy Yeah I might get a 6 1/2 inch Raging Bull 44 I've seen some lately in the $600-$650 range.
great
Thanks!
