I'd like some opinions. I have two options:

1. A new Taurus 85, 2" barrel, blued for $325.00 with all components.

2. A used Taurus 85, 2" barrel, matte stainless steel, made in 2003 for $275, No box, no manual, no security keys. It comes with an Uncle Mike's nylon holster. It is in like new condition (I thought it was new) and I doubt if it was ever fired. If it was, not much. According to the Taurus website, the gun has a lifetime warranty so I don't see any warranty issues.

Your advice?
