![]() ![]() ![]() It does remind me a lot of the little revolvers found in the dollar store "SWAT Playsets" for children. Then again we will see if the marketing campaign succeeds and they do not have a history of blowing up or getting people killed. This micro, chopped, lightened, pimped and marketed version is not however in my opinion deserving of the M85 name. I admit however if I needed a budget snub I would go with the Charter Arms Undercover. I find a comparable small revolver to be a great asset as a 2nd gun for many reasons and the M85 seems to be a pretty good option for those without the S&W snobbery I have or a limited budget. It seems to be as good as any S&W J I bring to the line. My friend and chief rangemaster of a large sheriff's office in central Florida has one and swears by it and I have fired it myself at the range. Seems the cost and reliability coupled with the recommendations of many local cop rangemasters keeps them in pocket, vest and ankle holsters in my local LE. 38 snub, it has a very loyal and popular following amongst many officers of the law as a backup gun for duty carry. While I do not own and would not likely purchase the original Model 85. I am not a fan of House Taurus but I do have a point about some of their products.
