The SRH with the Hogue Tamers is one easy shootin' platform.

I have to agree with everybody else. I don't think porting is necessary. I have a FA 83 in 454, 71/2" without porting and I really like it. just my opinion. I am kind of a glutton for punishment when it comes to guns. like them loaded HOT

No need for porting with the hogue grips. A brake just adds more noise.

I build Bisley 454's and they aren't bad to shoot at all but that's relative because everyone handles recoil differently. I've got customers I've put brakes on 44's for. The noise will be intense although I shot my deer this year without putting my ear protection on first. As far as the Taurus goes they are better than they used to be but they are still somewhat of a crap shoot in the reliability department. I know the Super Redhawk will set you back a few more bucks but it's more than worth it for the difference in quality. The Ruger is built like a tank and is reliable as the sun coming up.

Thanks Rod. I highly value your & the others here opinions. Guess I will stop looking at the Taurus & start looking on Gunbroker for a SRH.
