![]() The Taurus 85 is heavier than the Airweight. ![]() What is noticeably different is the weight and grip size. ![]() It is now affectionately referred to as Momma's Gun. She had kept it boxed and loaded in her apartment for almost 15 years. When we cleaned out my mother's apartment I pulled the Taurus box out from under a cushion on her couch. She kept it in the box for another six months or so, then had to go into a nursing home. I just shot enough round to test the gun for safety, then took it back to my mother. ![]() Twenty years later I opened the box and decided to try out the revolver. My dad bought the gun around 1992 because he thought they needed it to protect their home.Īfter he bought it and loaded it they never fired it. The gun was not only unique to me because it was old and new but because it belonged to my mother. The one that was manufactured around 22 years ago was typical of a snub nose revolver in size and construction and appearance. The gun, a Taurus Model 85 is in the J-Frame size range. To my astonishment, what appeared to be a brand new stainless steel revolver emerged. When I first got it out of the torn, worn taped up black box I wondered what it was going to look like.
