Having a slight issue with my relatively new Taurus 605 (2" 357 mag).
[Please excuse my lack of knowledge of the technical names for the parts]
On the extractor, there is a small "button" in the center, which locks the cylinder into the frame, and also release the mechanism that prevents the trigger from being pulled while the cylinder is out (transfer bar?). This button is stuck in the depressed position, which means the cylinder will not lock into the frame and obviously the gun won't operate.
According to Taurus, its just dirty (roughly 150 rounds through the gun ), and I need to soak the extractor in break free and the button will pop lose. Doesn't sound like it to me, but I'm trying it anyway.
My specific questions:
-Anyone experience this or have any idea how to fix it?
-How do you disassemble the cylinder/yoke assembly so I can remove the extractor and examine this stuff more closely?
Thanks!
Rob
