Picked up the snub 9mm Taurus, checked it out before completing transfer, all was fine. Get to range load ammo directly into chambers without using moon clip, single action to get an idea where to hold on target, no problem.
Next cylinder I do double action and the last two rounds the trigger stops during the pull, cylinder too. I let off the trigger, cock hammer, no issue. Repeat and same thing on next cylinder.
Try moon clips, issue goes away for next cylinder.
Switch to different ammo, no moon clips, I think the first cylinder went fine, next one had issue on last round. Used moon clips for the different ammo no issue until I got to the last round and the trigger started to want to hang up, but it didn't do a hard stop.
So, what I know is some ammo will work better than others without the moon clips being used, the moon clips seem to improve performance, but not make it 100% perfect, and the issue is absolutely not present during dry firing.
I'm thinking that the unfired cartridges may be backing out and rubbing against the recoil shield without the moon clip being used, but even when the moon clip is used the issue can still occur, but less frequently.
If there was an issue internally I would think it would be present during dry firing, but it's not and the issue doesn't occur when cocking the hammer.
One solution I'm considering is aftermarket clips as these Taurus ones are really thin. Some thicker and stiffer ones may hold everything in place better.
Thoughts? Should I give it more time to break in? Give it a good cleaning and try different ammo?
Would be appreciated if the Taurus haters kept out of the discussion.
