Bom dia aqui do Brasil meu amigo americano,que mais representa os revólveres Taurus brasileiros,muito obrigado por compartilhar esse revólver, realmente é muito bonito, espero que tenha mais qualidades. A música de abertura lembra os ritmos do nosso estado ,que se chama Bahia, lugar quente,com um povo festivo, infelizmente um estado pobre financeiramente. Esse revólver pode ter o nome de O Bom,para acompanhar o Tuco😂. Deus abençoe o Sr,sua família e as Américas 🇧🇷🤝🇺🇲. Aproveitando para pedir orações ao povo do estado do Rio Grande do Sul,que está sob uma catástrofe de chuvas e enchentes em 70% do seu território,muitas mortes,pessoas desaparecidas e uma calamidade em meu país. Deus abençoe a todos.
"Taking this opportunity to ask for prayers from the people of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, which is under a catastrophe of rains and floods in 70% of its territory, many deaths, missing people and a calamity in my country."
Praying for the people of Rio Grande do Sul. God Bless you brother.
Praying for everyone there
@@LionquestFitness
Thank you my friend. God blesses.
@@coatpocketsurvivalist
Thank you for the prayers my friend 🙏. God bless and protect you.
Those prayers have gone up my friend.
I appreciate you creating the revolver videos, I'm 63 and have carried J frame S&W revolvers for over 36 years.
That is so cool! Nothing beats an older Chief Special.
I always enjoy your revolver content Gregg. You & HR are the few that continue to put out top notch content for us old wheel gun guys.
Thank you my friend!
My first handgun I ever got is a blued Taurus 65 .357 magnum with a 3-inch barrel. I paid a whopping $218 for it back in 1992 (I still have it). Mine has a target trigger on it and is butter smooth. I find it's the perfect size: center of gravity is lower so it's more comfortable in the holster, the velocity is closer to 4-inch so hollow points will have a better chance of expanding, and target acquisition is extremely fast... So far, pretty impressed with your review of the Executive. Looks like a winner.
Thank you compadre. At times Taurus has made some very good revolvers.
Thanks for the mention. I use the HKS 10 loader, which is a tad too fat but I just drop them before they are in the cylinder too far. I got an Aysesa Tactical leather OWB holster on Amazon for 38 bucks for my 3" LCRx .22 WMR, and it fits the 3" 856 well, just a tad loose over the thumb strap. My 856 appears to be bent left, like the whole frame and or barrel. Shoots very far left.
That seems to be a problem with Taurus/Rossi revolvers. That was what I was told was wrong with the Rossi that the cylinder locked down on me and would not turn; that the frame was out of spec. Another person from the Taurusarmed.net forum who'd sent a 856 back was told the same thing. Both guns were to be destroyed according to Taurus. I sent mine back for service in December and after numerous calls and e-mails a replacement gun is finally being sent out. Maybe, LOL. I'm not holding my breath.

Elmer Keith, in his classic book "Six Guns", was rather emphatic that the FBI made a mistake when they adopted a 2 1/2" 357 Magnum, arguing that a minimum of 3" was necessary to achieve enough powder burn to make the round effective with the ammunition available at the time. Presumably this argument extends to hot loaded 38 Specials. I've never understood the fascination with short barrels when it is the butt/grip that is most pronounced and hardest to hide. But I've never understood the popularity of IWB holsters and appendix carry either. I much prefer 4", 5", and 6" barrels and the comfort and easy access provided by OWB carry.
Thanks Greg. Hope your Mrs enjoyed her mother's day. Take care. 🇺🇲🔪🌲🔥
She did. My daughter as well. It was a good day. Have a blessed week Jason!
Another great “Front Porch” video. Looking forward to more information on the Taurus revolvers. With S&W putting out revolvers with canted barrels and Colts being prohibitively expensive, the information provided in these reviews is invaluable.
Last summer I looked at a Colt King Cobra. Inside the frame the milling was so rough and jagged, you couldn't open the cylinder without a great deal of force.
@@LionquestFitness I've owned two of the new Colt Cobras and one new model Colt King Cobra. They ALL had light primer strikes and in no particular order. I run Kimbers now.
All of a sudden.... I'm hungry for some biltong. I also subscribe and watch Gun Sam's channel. And there's that 3" Taurus again. Nice array of holsters there too - I really like the Simply Rugged holster I have for my old Smith Hand Ejector. Thanks for another great vid Greg.
Thank you!
The Taurus 860 Executive is interesting. I'm looking forward to seeing this gun go head to head with Smith & Wesson.
recently grabbed an 856 defender with the wooden altamont grip...a good performer overall; sold it to offset bills; I still have a taurus 82s (home) & a s&w 638 (carry); ammo choices vary...currently the 82s has speer gold dot 135gr jhp +p (developed for NYPD in early 2000's for their deluge of wheelguns); 638 has federal nyclad 125gr hp non +p (2009 vintage)
Thank you for the Fine Video
I am looking forward to seeing the comparison to S&W
Taurus Does make a nice looking revolver! My first handgun was an early 856 snub but I sold it for something with a larger barrel that could take 357. I've been through several revolvers since but currently have an S&W 60-15 3" J frame with the same rosewood Pachmayr Grips you've got there. Sure it'll mostly ever shoot 38s but i like the option of 357 for woods and camping.
Rumba rumba Pa’ bailar! Love the music, another great video. Thank you!
Another good revolver video from you. I would love for you to reviewt the S&W Lpsey "Ultimate Carry" revolver in .32 H&R Magnum.
People forget some speed loaders are not for pushing rounds in the cylinder but for releasing into cylinder after bullet noses are just inside the cylinder, then gravity does the work, for example my poly 605 357 I don't have problems with rubber grip getting in the way like others have mentioned because I don't push rounds in and force them to go in, it maybe that safariland and others are made for pushing but the basic speed loaders you use gravity because your twisting and releasing where as others you push to release so you don't have to try and jam rounds in but simply twist handle after bullet noses are partially in cylinder, his cheap as the are the work good on gravity, trying to jam them in wears out the speed loader faster from stress from trying to force rounds in rather then as Clint Smith said 'let gravity be your friend'
I have a S&W 686 plus 3 " barrel. I read a comment someone made saying the Azula holster for the 3" barrel is longer than it needs to be and that the one for the 2.5" barrel fits perfectly so I ordered both and they were right. The 686 plus is a big old heavy revolver but it is very easy to carry in the Azula holster. I carry it all day at work doing shipping and receiving in a manufacturing plant and under a loose shirt it disappears and doesn't feel all that heavy.
Thanks for sharing!
Dremel moto-tool and the drum sander implement addressing the grip makes speed loaders get where they need to get.
Great comparison, Greg of the two revolvers 👍👍👍👍🇺🇸
Thanks Al!
Another fantastic analysis video. A cross draw canted holster would be really good. Geoffrey Boothroyd suggested the Berns Martin Triple Draw to Ian Fleming. Boothroyd was also a small revolver fan and real life firearms expert.
TT holsters are leather and very well made. I used Milt Sparks exclusively for several years. They use a metal reinforced mouth to hold then open when the gun is withdrawn. TT builds em the same way. Better price than Milt and less waiting time.
Good looking Revolver Lefty.....I am enjoying my 605 3" Defender. It's Gritty trigger smoothed out well, with several hundred pulls on dummy rnds.
The same with my 605. Still, not quite the same.
Good deal!!👍👍☕☕ and good morning!
Good morning Amigo!
Good info once again Greg!
Another great video Greg. Can't wait to see the S&W comparison video. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
Thanks and have a blessed weekend yourself!
This channel really never disappoints. Great work greg 👍 entertaining, informative and well thought/spoken. Top notch
Thanks Jack!
Happy Sunday. Thanks for the video!
And have a blessed Sunday yourself!
👍👍 Thanks Greg, appreciate the video
Your welcome!
As for holsters, I've owned a couple of 1791 owb's. They're generally a multi-fit holster, but solid and affordable. I used one for an SP101 .357, and the other for a 442 Airweight. 4 years ago, i purchased a Lobo Gunleather enhanced pancake holster for a relative's 3 inch SP101. The quality is excellent, but the base price was 115 dollars, before adding retention strap, smooth or suede linings, shields, etc. They're worth checking out. I will likely purchase an ehanced pancake or one of Lobo's other holsters for my Chiappa Rhino 200ds.
Great tips on the holster recommendations.
Thank for another nice video.
Love your videos Greg i was being Honest when i told you that you was the first gun channel i watched i searching for reviews on the 856 snubby and your video was the first one the showed been hooked ever since Have a blessed day
Thanks Terry!
Good stuff, Greg!
Hi Mark, getting ready to close out another year!
I'd like to see the executive 605 polished out. If it was, I would buy one because I love the 605. Thank you for the video.
Looking good so far
Very informative video and looking forward to your next video.
Thanks!
It took me a long time to warm up to the Zeta6 loaders but now that I've put a lot of time into them and came up with my own modifications, I think they're the easiest to carry and use loaders out there.
I concur.
Great video Greg, have a good wk.
Dano you have a blessed and prosperous week yourself!
Those soda jugs never saw you coming!
And away they go!
Loving this series! (Another Gun Sam fan😊)
Harry's Holster Icon is a very good plastic. IWB holster. If you like that style which I do. I use Safariland loaders for mine also that Zeta6 3x3 loader.
great vidio sir beautiful revolver thank you for sharing this hope all is well with you and the family
Thank you my friend!
Always prudent to remind Taurus revolver owners about that screw backing out."Don't think it can't happen to you."I'm looking forward to seeing some indepth videos & shooting comparisions with the factory grip vs the grip that's on it now.Excellent shooting on the opening segment of this video.
Hi Mark! I did some comparisons with the 856 snub and found out I shot better with the rubber Taurus grips. For point and shoot, the Renegade grips worked fine, but past ten yards with aimed fire I found they were jumping out of my hand slightly because of the lower palm swell.
@@LionquestFitness I guess I'm used to those factory grips.I seem to shoot better with them as well.After market parts,,it's a business.Some work and some don't.I tend to stick with whats original.
NICE Trigger! Greg surprised you haven't used Don Hume as owner is a Wrong Handed like you! Also, Tulster Holsters & Harry's Holsters make Kydex AIWB style for the 3" defenders I've done videos on them. I was an OWB 3' guy then AIWB back to OWB as belly grew & now one of very few doing AOWB Appendix Outside the Waistband!
I duty carried in a Don Hume for many years, but the last one I bought, a few years ago was a $100 stinker and haven't bought one since
There is a spring and detent that holds the crane on under the screw. Taurus sells that screw with the parts for $5 if ya lose the detent. Yes I lost mine😅
Ouch!
Which model S&W will you be shooting against? Your 640? Tell us about the knife...enquiring minds want to know. BTW, I chatted with/purchased from those Georgia Arms guys at a gun show in Marietta. Good selection of ammo & brass. Nice guys.
It's a Schrade Uncle Henry. It's a good beater with a thick blade. I've used it from everything from cutting up cardboard boxes, to cutting brush, to cleaning fish. As the the comparison; the 640 and the model 64; both keylock versions.
Pancake holsters seem to be a great way to go.
I find them very comfortable.
@@LionquestFitness I will try one based on your experience!
Greg, that looks like a nice revolver. I love my wheel guns..
Stay safe.
You do the same!
Good information about the "Tauri" Greg. My 605 has that stage in the trigger also. I have not fired it enough for anything to become loose. Am still caught up in the "tactical tupperware". I have been interested in the 9mm revolvers. They're very hard to find and pricey. S&W makes one & I believe Taurus does also.
Hi Cleon! I've no experience with 9mm revolvers, but from what I've seen online, the S&W would be the better choice. As for Tupperware, my Glock 19 has been christened as Kirk and my CZ P07 is Spock. The Taurus G2C is Chekov...
In my experience, which is admittedly a drop in the ocean compared to older gents like you, 5 Star speedloaders work best with grips HKS loaders might struggle with.The problem, in the case of the 856 Executive Grade, is that even 5 Star loaders don't like the factory wood grips.
Interesting observation. Those wide and thick factory grips were manufactured originally for bullseye target competition. Over the years many companies have produced them without realizing the original intent.
I don't know if this was mentioned, but I would recommend HKS DS (Detective Special) speed loaders for this revolver. A little smaller than the size 10, but still 6 shots.
I've got one I need to try.
Looking forward to the next vidio.
You mentioned, criss draw carring any chance of comparison between different carry styles? 😊
Which one would suit a bandana 😊
Les, he can't wear the bandana every week, or it will lose its mystique. 😂
@tylermorrison7051 I know that mate. :-)
But looking ahead, when the Grambo Academy of Refined Gentlemen opens, there will of course be a course on.Dress Edequate for all Occasions. There fore we plan ahead 😀😃🙂🙃
@@lesgillard985 Of course, there will be the Grambo Refined Gentlemen's Book Club. Howard, Burroughs, Vance, and myriad other fantasy, sci-fi, and comic book writers will be required reading.
@@tylermorrison7051 Throw in some Louis L'Amour.
@tylermorrison7051 yes.... what about Grambo's Genteeelmens Accessories?
Bandanss, Sunglasses, Watches, After Shave, etc?
Gotta think ahead mate. 🤔 😀😃🙂🙃
Yeah had my screw fallout on public defender. Be careful it was a pain finding part and being able to buy replacement.
Great video! 👏👏👏 I am from Brazil.
Bom dia e obrigado!
thank you for the video. good music, good shooting and that gun looks like a keeper, too. i wonder how many 32 mag holes they could put in that cylinder?
Maybe two more?
Thank you for this nice video. The Taurus 856 executive seems to be a nice revolver. It is also affordable enough for many people.
At a time where new s&w revolvers have serious quality problems and where colts are horrendously expensive, this is becoming very rare.
In Europe, there are also the Alfa Proj revolvers.
Alfa Proj? Czech revolvers?
@@LionquestFitness Yes, they are czech
I have never warmed up to IWB carry. I either pocket carry in a good pocket holster or go with OWB. Can't teach an old dog new tricks I guess. Look forward to the grip comparison. I've never found a grip for my 605 that I like better than the stock rubber grips that came with it.
John, I may be going back to those stock rubber grips for my 605, as they seem to help with recoil.
Good morning. Great way to start the day, checking out the most recent LionQuest Greg Newton video. Nice looking and nice size revolver. Hard to beat a stainless finish, polished or brushed.
What’s your view on dry fire practice? Or the use of the laser gadgets practice? Rumor has it there’s an ammo shortage on the way.
I do a lot of it with revolvers. I recently got a hold of Zeta-6's Safe Snaps, used in this video. With semi-autos I do more visualization training; putting the gun on target and feeling the trigger squeeze in my mind's eye.
I used to train with a use of force simulator we had in my lab at school, but we're talking a $23,000 piece of equipment that eventually bit the dust after nine years of use. However, I believe my ability to point and shoot with the simulator had more to do with my actual firearm practice instead of the other way around.
Interesting to those of us who have studied martial arts, there was a book in the eighties that taught kata with a handgun. I never bought the book, but I put this in practice with my firearm's video. I only shoot one take, but practice the scenario several dozen times before actually going through the steps of moving, drawing, and firing.
@@LionquestFitness gun kata, interesting. I guess that’s kinda what dry fire practice is or could be. Have to give this some thought. 👍
I use Loctite on all my revolvers. If its a screw it gets Loctite.
Not a bad plan in this day and time.
Good video as usual Gregg but I wonder if that model has the extended hammer as well for the collector who loves shooting in single action for better accuracy purposes !!! I'll have to go check it out and see for that is a beautiful finish on that revolver and love those front sights in fiber optic green and the barrel length is perfect for my taste !!!
Hi Jeff, as far as I know, they don't make one with an extended hammer for single action. It is a common complaint about this model.
@@LionquestFitness I'm checking out their Executive model 605 and it's gorgeous 3 in. barrel wood grips and I think front fiber optic sight orange/red matte polished finish msrp 756 I think !!! In 357 mag best of both worlds in shooting .38 spl + P as well
@@jeffreyelliott622 Sounds sweet!
I enjoyed the background music reminds me of my early years living in Miami, lol. Very informative video, I'm looking for a outside of the waistband holster for my S&W 638-3 with a thumb strap that rides over the trigger guard. Any suggestions?
God Bless you and your Family.
Maybe 1791 holsters?

Thank you sir!!!
I was interested in 22 magnum, watched a few videos, and seen the round can actually tumble out of a 2in revolver. Have you ever had a 38 special tumble? Curious to know, I have a S&W 442 I want to get to know better.
I haven't seen that with . 38.
Good video Greg. Was the knife from Italy like mine?
I believe this one was made in China.
👍👍
👍
Thanks!
I hope you test it against the S&W 686 plus 3"
I've got a GP100 in three inch, but I didn't think it would be a fair comparison since the Executive is .38 Plus P.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thanks Joe!
🔫🔫🔥🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍👍😎
You should try buying like a new steel target every month to grow a range and you will also grow your subscribers
My range is too small to do it justice.
@LionquestFitness ya but a year goes by pretty quick and you would have a range to plink around on to create more content and demonstrate more things that cannot be done on a public fire range. Get a few clear gel blocks would be fun as well. You remind me a lot about paul harrel and with a better range i think you would get really popular and youtube monetization would help create more content
