Interesting, I've had a Taurus 85 for over 6 years and I know it's had a minimum of 1000 rounds through it.

(It's mostly shot at 10 yards or less, I figure any unfortunate encounter will most likely be less than that, any greater distance and I'm going to be high tailing for cover... )

It's never gone out of time or shaved lead from the cylinder. So I guess there must be Good and Bad in every make and model.

btw. I also shoot a Colt Python and though it's smooth as silk, I have more fear that it'll go out of time one day.
