[LoCo8NiKkA]

@FabioCrow07770 Haha maybe

[josecarlosamador]

Why everyone comments on every video how the .357 is good to kill bears? Trust me, if that's the case, youredoinitwrong...

[404040c]

bunch of idiots hating on Taurus gun newbs 101 I have almost every single top brand gun and taurus guns are good so stop hating newbs plus Tuarus is on the top ten gun companys of 2011

[BUCKrub91]

nice gun ive been looking at this gun for when I get my pistol permit do you hunt with this gun? how well does the .357 mag do for deer?

[piratebri]

"It's unloaded STFU. My fingers off the trigger, so shut up"

lol, this guy must not be new to youtuber comments ;)

great opening to video

[ClownBAYby]

Could somebody tell me what model Uncle Mike's holster is shown in the video?? THANKS!

[MrDko9873]

i hate taurus's stainless steel because it binds up and get's sticky quick, i'd rather have a blued gun

[FabioCrow07770]

@MrDko9873 sticky? 

[bittemeinrammstein]

@MrDko9873 - Simple fix... dont use lacquer coated ammunitions and clean it.

[FabioCrow07770]

@Mr05banshee All .357 Magnums will shoot both .357 and .38spl

[sic1mohawk]

ya but using mags are for pussy, i killed a bear with my BEAR HANDS

[zombieslayerG4]

Dude u know ur stuff about guns! U need to meet my grandpa. he has tons and tons of guns, half of em idk what the fuck they are, but yeah, u should meet him

[fordandchevyguy300]

357 will stop a bear my dad made a head shot on one at 20 yards with a 357 and it was dead befor it hit the ground your way better of with a 357 over a knife you couldent be more wright keep the vids coming

[FabioCrow07770]

@fordandchevyguy300 .357 is a pretty powerful round

[recordmanful]

Cinder block filled with wood or bricks.

[FabioCrow07770]

@recordmanful shot a big Cinder block few weeks ago

[Lajjnus87]

Grab yourself a .44 Magnum or a 500S&W Magnum. ;D

[b0mb3r315]

you don't have any friends, do you?

[FabioCrow07770]

@b0mb3r315 few

[MGabriel7767]

@FabioCrow07770 When ya got guns, who needs friends?

[TheAlexagius]

you should check if its loaded

[rcjunky53654]

U should shoot a pig and see if it comes out the other side also u should try to shoot a coffie can filled with gas with a little fire in front of it : P

[rcjunky53654]

Can it shoot 38 special

[Copenhagen365]

@rcjunky53654 i believe a 357mag can shoot 38spcl. but 38spcl cant shoot 357mag. basically the same bullet. but the 357mags shell is longer to hold more powder, thus making it a magnum

[tk4227]

dude you have some beastly wrists and forearms

[Themrgofuckyourself]

And this is why the rest of us are judged.

[ogarts]

...nice ka bar



[chabochi1]

i think a gun is a good idea to carry in the woods and your m66 seems like a very good choice but carrying bear spray AS WELL as a gun is ideal. for one thing if you do manage to spray a bear he will be blurry eyed and that would only help you in using other methods of self defense against him.

[chabochi1]

Bears come in all different sizes and ferociousness. A .357 might handle a small/medium sized bear but a big one will maul you before you get off all your shots! There's so much to consider when you claim something will just die just because you got a gun. Regardless, I don't carry a gun for bears, When hiking, i use a Cold Steel Ghurka Kukri and do have the balls to use it should no other alternative present itself. Self-preservation is a powerful impulse. But your gun ROCKS and i want one.

[FabioCrow07770]

@chabochi1 which Kukri do you have,the san-mi or the sk-5? both great machetes,I'm just curious which one.

I might buy some bear mace I hear that stuff works great,doesn't hurt the bear and gives you ample time to get away

[chabochi1]

@FabioCrow07770 I have the SK5 version of the Kukri. If attacked i would hope to lop off a limb or shear open a gash big enough to convince the bear to go away fast! That bear spray is a good idea. I hear that statistics show that it is the most reliable form of bear deterrent. I assume because it irritates and hurts them but it is not a lethal threat therefore they do not feel they need to attack you in the name of self defense. look at how effective a skunk is in self defensive capabilities.

[bertman668]

@FabioCrow07770 your right man, the .357 magnum was the first magnum round (i believe) and through its debut the founding manufacturers smith&wesson and Winchester had hunters use the round to kill large game all over north america.... including GRIZZLY BEAR AND MOOSE!!!! Thats nuts! but its true... all it takes is shot placement

[dukenukemthreed]

@chabochi1

I would prefer a 357 to a kukri, If all else fails I can save 1 round for myself.

[StarFishX]

I guess this video can only be truly "enjoyed" by US citizens. I live in Singapore and have never hold a revolver in my life.

[karatefightr15]

@StarFishX why not?

[mattipistheman]

I like my glock 22 gen 4 15+1 just keep shooting my friend

[MrJiret]

that's a good gun i have it n i love it but my glock 23 is the best

[DanTheMan9867]

Osama Bin Ladin's body

[FabioCrow07770]

@DanTheMan9867 too many holes in it already lol

[fordandchevyguy300]

@FabioCrow07770

357 will stop a bear my dad shot one at 20 yards in the head just above his eyes and he was dead befor it hit the ground your wright to cary it out in the woods the guy with the knife would die if he were attacked by a bear keep the vids coming

[7redi]

Im from switzerland and im considering to buy a Taurus model 66 Blue 357 magnum or a Taurus Tracker 627 357 Magnum Stainless steel wich one of these would you get considering that in switzerland you pay about 550 swiss francs (wich is nearly 1:1 witch dollar so 1 doller= 1 swiss franc) and the Tracker costs about 680 swiss francs

Thanks for any reply or suggestions.

[GothChristianPatriot]

Engine block

[typicalviewer2]

your watch is on the wrong arm.

[FabioCrow07770]

@typicalviewer2 That's a weird thing to say

[typicalviewer2]

@FabioCrow07770 i'm just saying, it struck me as odd that you're wearing a rather nice wristwatch on your right arm so that the little switch is facing toward you instead of away from you. all watch related comments aside, cool video.

[FabioCrow07770]

@typicalviewer2 I've always worn my watches this way. the Other way just feels weird to me.

thanks

[codybrady100]

can u destroy al-Qaeda

[leftcoast67]

On the plus side if six shots don't kill a bear, you've got one left to shoot yourself in the head.

[TheSajed513]

dam,he has sausage fingers!!!!

[FabioCrow07770]

@TheSajed513 Lol I Know,man. It's a real bitch trying to text =P

[egret88]

"i always always always always always ALWAYSSS........clean my guns."

[maxguydave1]

show us where you keep the key

[ComputerNoob44]

does it shoot 38 special ?

[FabioCrow07770]

@ComputerNoob44 yep

[ComputerNoob44]

@FabioCrow07770 lol, yeah I realized when I saw the end of the video.

looks like a great revolver, I might end up getting one, seeing as how the S&Ws are so darn expensive

[venyusz01]

@FabioCrow07770 I joke,I joke,I kid! It was a $400 well spent.If I didn't sell my soul to S&W I'd definitely choose one of the Taurus models.Only with a spiked hammer of course. Are you planning on taking out for few shots where you tested the .22? .38 cal is cheaper if you know what I'm saying...:)

[venyusz01]

FabioCrow07770 why u no buy S&W ? :):)

[FabioCrow07770]

@venyusz01 at the time I couldn't afford the S&W .357 it was like $600 I Think,This was only $495

[aberry9475]

@FabioCrow07770 I think they might be a little more than that even. At my store they had S&W and Ruger's offerings. That Taurus looks pretty sweet though.

[SRPA11]

How much did this cost?

[FabioCrow07770]

@SRPA11 $395

[JHONKHAN077]

hahahahahaha funny and creative video and also a very good payback

[HotDawgStand1]

just a little anoying

[nyc23bklyn]

im gonna get that gun i luv it so much i was thinking about a pistol but they can jam on you and im just not into them

[bender43718]

what will a 357 do to a cast iron pan

[happytardedtoad]

@bender43718 fuck it :)

[skaterplayer100]

shiney.lol.awsome gun

[Hypercube619]

Great :D

Russian Roulette anyone?

[LHJandCHG]

jeez what do you do for a living, you have like a armory, you say you use a .45, a ka bar, and a .357 to go "camping" and "hiking" wink wink.

[rolling9657]

Taurus does make a judge that shoots the .410, .454, and 45lc. Its called the"Raging Judge"

[DixiePrepper]

WOW this video was 11 minutes WAY to long

[mrheartley]

well i own one of these model 66 revolvers and i must say that the gun is oky but the sights totally suck.....i was shooting factory ammo thru it and the blade on the rear sight broke. well all is good the gun has a life warrenty but the sights only have a 1 year warrenty..so after long talks with the taurus factory i think they suck. i did have a jewlery shop weld the blade back on so now the junk has fixed sights.so i will never own a taurus gun again......

[1lilpenguin3]

nice gun, im glad you keep your gun clean, im the same way, if i pay a lot of money, im gonna take care of it no matter what it is lol, anyways really nice gun, i might just get that one

[FabioCrow07770]

@epicdude305 The rings are actually black hair bands I use to tie my hair back.

[jippywinks]

i gots me a 44. magnum, beats the crap outta this pussy gun, my grandmomma use this trigger yo

[carterwatrous]

Thumbs up if you noticed stuttering stanley at 10:18

[mrbratsch]

You shoot it in the head with a 180 grain buffalo bore round and or rounds... The end. But really I'd prefer using nothing smaller then a 44 magnum for bear though, not that a 357 in inadequate but for my personal reasons I'd like to make it a sure shot before the bear's paw are in reach of me. 44= 3 averages 3 times the energy of a 357.

[mrbratsch]

I wish I had your style. I wish I was you. The chicks would digg me more. U act cool too. I idolize you. xoxoxo. dude....

[robertw006]

uh, youre new to guns, huh?

[kikker999]

Was it unloaded ?

[kakasanti]

I'm writing a movie: Fabio Must Die" .

[FabioCrow07770]

@kakasanti who's playing me? Morgan Freeman =P

[demmylowther]

Ah,I spent the money to get the .44 Magnum Raging Bull.Obviously this gun is for show and puffing your chest out because you certainly would be VERY lucky to hit anything with this gun,BUT,it looked Badass,so what the hay,I bought it.Then I bought a Ruger Valquero 45.Awesome old style revolver.I can't wait to fire this puppy off.

[eagle1053]

just picked up a 689 for 250, very impressed...

[wolfmk100]

a zippo

[1winkaz]

Really like the Taurus 66 I plan on getting one and using it for hunting and target shooting.I will also be putting a pistol scope on it so I can shoot 100yd targets.The 357 mag will do enough damage to anything if you do you own reloading.Just as the 44SP will do like the 44Mag if you do your own reloading.

[CycleSeth]

Try a Ruger GP100 or a S&W stealth hunter, not a rip off version of it. Nice gun anyhow ;)

[xojeffroxo]

i got taurus 605 357 in a snubbie /and rugar gp 100 38 4 inch barrel i like my 38 better

[TrustkillProductionz]

I should be clear that you CAN kill a bear with a .357 but it's not as easy as everyone seems to believe. Most people aren't aware of the exact location of a bears vitals and even if you are, you will be shakeing-scared-shitless and possibly unable to get a clear shot. Things happen fast and there are no second chances. Best to let sleeping dogs lie and opt for a more discretionary form of valor.

[TrustkillProductionz]

To be fair, if the bear is simply curious, you may be able to scare it off with a loud report to the sky but DO NOT shoot it! Bears have thick hides covering inches of dense corded muscle and are VERY territorial. If injured, fight or flight basic instincts take over and a bear isn't going to abandon it's territory to something half it's size that obviously means it harm. Please use your head when hiking in the wilderness.

[TrustkillProductionz]

Survival training for bear attacks teaches us to dive inside it's reach to slash the jugular when it rears up. (this is an intimidation posture in which the bear will let down it's guard slightly, all bears NEVER attack from this position.) yes it's extremely risky and should only be done as a last resort but try shooting it with a .357 and you will enrage it, causing it to attack immediately and I promise it will crumple you like a piece of parchment before you get a 3rd shot off.

[shelbysharp13]

the prezzz...haha i hope the fbi dosn't come in my door. and 357 is the business =]

[jar288]

cool my dads got the same holster for his anaconda

[SasukeIsPwnage]

I know that it was a long time ago that you said it, but I want to know if you can destroy something of mine...

You see, my mother in law has been bugging me for the longest time and I don't think you can destroy her with it. Care to prove me wrong?

:D

[RRTSPS3]

Shoot your head let's see what happens

[xXGarretWCostaXx]

nice dick extension man. and who the fuck said it wouldn't kill a bear? you should make a video to prove them wrong, i'de watch that haha

[PS3GRIMREAPER91]

my zodiac is taurus and my favorite gun is a taurus...lame i know but i think the cuincidence is awesome

[2stroketwosmoke]

sounds just like the nature guy from dual survival

[Hutaree2010]

Shut the fuck up it's unloaded ahahahahhaaha!!!!!

[BigVStudio]

That thing is sweet fab

[OLIT54]

who is taking the worlds longest piss in the background

[FabioCrow07770]

@OLIT54 Lol that was the Fish Tank,sorry =P

[0N35595]

@FabioCrow07770 i want to see it shoot through 2 old computers with parts still in

[kageoftheshadow]

@OLIT54 LMAO!!!

[jckmar34]

destroy a cement block!!

[hammerdrop30]

Great gun, I have the older blued model without the lock on the hammer. But, It don't matter how old or how many rounds you fire through it . It has a lifetime warranty, for the life of the gun, not the owner.

[2113gizmo]

i want that gun. Im a glock owner myself but for some reason i cant put down my revolver either when i hit the desert.

[hardman476]

i have a 66 as well but chambered in .44 magnum 11.5 inch barrel

[FabioCrow07770]

@hardman476 very Awesome =)

[SirTim123]

I'm not pointing at the camra so calm down hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[l00zrr]

is it unloaded?

[reynosamanA3]

i want some of that cereal!

[99silverstone]

a .357 magnum has the same ballistics as a 10 mm. I own this exact same gun, only it is blued, because I don't need to show off. I need performance, and 7 rounds of .357 magnum firepower, placed correctly is just as good as any other round, and I have shot an M-16 and M-60 machine gun. Shot placement is more important than firing capacity. Taurus makes very good revolvers. It's also a direct copy of a Smith & Wesson,

[SwissBullion]

@99silverstone The grip is much better on the Smith & Wesson.

[99silverstone]

@SwissBullion You mean the Smith and Wesson has a different kind of grip. I like the stock grips on my Taurus Model 66 w/6" barrel. It makes it easier to get in and out of my shoulder holster, and in a self-defense situation the grips are fast. But even if you didn't like these grips you can get a set of Hogue Monogrip for less than $20, and make it a little more comfy for your shooting pleasure. Last time out I put 133 rounds of full house load .357 magnum rounds through my Taurus at the range

[SwissBullion]

@99silverstone I think what I meant was that the Smith and Wesson has a more comfortable grip. The taurus felt like I was holding a broken rock.

[Peidmonte89]

@FabioCrow07770 i wanna see you shoot it through a half dozen coconuts!

[brentonwb]

Is the recoil terrible on those? I'm thinkin of gettin the model 65 or 66 haven't decided.

[2113gizmo]

@brentonwb 357 recoil is light unless you never shot a gun before.

[Peidmonte89]

Fabio, I bet you would love the Taurus Model 44! I could see you with that thing, its got your name written all over it!

[BlueCollarSurvival]

I clean my gun every time I shoot...and once a month if I don't shoot it

[nSigniaa]

Yeah.... i like to keep my gun clean too ;)

[whitt3y]

yoo this is my type of

gun !!

i want 1 like thhis !!

how much would it be to get 1 :O

[FabioCrow07770]

@whitt3y I Bought it for $395 brand new 10 years ago but now It'll be like $450 or $500

[tnc07232008]

Thumbs up if the running water makes you want to pee :-)

[kop4321]

I want you to shoot a pig head with the .357 =o

[greatnesso1]

i bet u can shoot through that bullet proof glass at like 7 11

[carterwatrous]

dude this guy is serious and thats why i laugh so much...not even at what he says...just how he says it and his big ol belly....hahah JUsSSSsssSSSttt SAYING :D huJUUUSSSSsssSssSt SayYING HOWEVER HAAHAAAAHHH---aAAAHhhHhHA----A­HHH HA ANWAYYY UHHH AH-HA HAHA ....AH-HA

[pray4chicken]

I'm really in to revolvers right now...the only problem is I can't make up my mind on a .357 or .44magnum i like the taurus raging bull models in the .44 because of how it looks like the gun from the resident evil games haha. I'm a fan of the wood grips though on these types of guns haha...

[MrDeerecub1977]

@pray4chicken 357 anyday,44 if you run into bears alot lol

[pray4chicken]

@MrDeerecub1977 i finally got to shoot a 357 yesterday it was a S&w 686 plus 7rd

man i shot way better with that than i did with my kimber haha. i've made up my mind i'm getting both haha

[JannieRosen]

@pray4chicken If you're looking to use the gun for hunting game, I guess the .44 would be fine but, if you're in the city landscape, I think the .357 would be more feasible as far as ammo availability, in-door noise, and lack of overkill. Don't forget the Colt Python (.357 Mag) was the strongest handgun in the original Resident Evil.

[electrichand1234]

the gun and the hat are beast!

[achates5150]

great firearm! I have no complaints.

[francisco61261]

man what a review sounded just like having CARMEN ELEKTRA giving a personal opinion about guns,,, what are you talking about??? maybe you can go look for bin laden with a 357 taurus,,, I love the caliber i love taurus revolvers i just hate your ugly gun,, sell your collection,, put some extra bucks and go for a raging bull..

[francisco61261]

what the dam hell!!! you idiot!!! a 44 mag is the desent caliber to star with for woods protection... is that the best gun you got??? you must have a jennings and a davis crap collection..... a 357 mag review from a very unexperienced dumb fuck,, hahahhaha your video made me laugh alot thanks for the entertainment,, i like your indiana jones hat better than that taurus

[francisco61261]

what the dam hell!!! you idiot!!! a 44 mag is the desent caliber to star with for woods protection... is that the best gun you got??? you must have a jennings and a davis crap collection..... a 357 mag review from a very unexperienced dumb fuck,, hahahhaha your video made me laugh alot thanks for the entertainment.....

[jsdubon82]

Grate review man , I am getting a ruger sp 101 soon but I'm thinking about a Taurus revolver instead of the ruger. Would you recommend a taurus???? thanks for posting the video man .

[FabioCrow07770]

@jsdubon82 Well the only Ruger revolver I'd buy is the Black hawk .44 because I Like the old west style. But This Taurus Revolver is built to last and kick ass. I'd fully recommend it

[ben0vame]

getting me one next week. lovely piece!

[FabioCrow07770]

@ben0vame You'll love it! One of my favorite guns,great carry gun

[reynosamanA3]

@FabioCrow07770 great carry gun?holy shit i wouldnt wanna fuck with anybody who uses a 357 magnum for carry lol!

[Mister3killer]

nice howd u get that

[Jaybird616]

Yes a .357 magnum will stop a black bear with no problems. Especially in the mid west where we don't have brow/grizzly bears, so a 357 is more than acceptable as a backup carry.

[douglasj56]

@dth580 Man, I just wanted an opinion on the piece. Why does everyone sound like It's last call at the bar here? You people own guns? Give the guy a break. Mind your mother... "If you can't say anything nice..."

[dth580]

@douglasj56 lol what?

[Matunaagah]

What idiot would think that this revolver is overkill? Is .357 overkill for deer or crazy rednecks? You can live off rabbits, squirrels, and other critters with a mere 50 round box of .38special for weeks or perhaps months, and people have killed moose and grizzly with full-strength .357mag loads. Is such versatility and adequacy overkill? If you bring a gun with you in the woods, why should it be anything less than capable of doing anything you will need it too? Bring enough gun, or no gun.

[dougler500]

@nebula25x id say because its a clear rip off of a beautiful classic

[TheThunderhammer]

That's a beautiful revolver. Been thinking of picking up one of these and found your vid to be quite informative.

[FabioCrow07770]

@nebula25x the watch is junk now lol broke months ago =P

[FabioCrow07770]

@nebula25x why because I didn't pay a couple grand for it?
