Joined the Club today.. #%$%$$#.
Old man's Taurus Tracker 9 shot .22 still having cycling problems, cylinder locks up in DA, dumped it, reloaded it... was chatting with the other folks and emptied it again.. turned to dump the brass, was stopped by a question.
turned back towards the range, pointed at a downward angle, intending to use the spent.22's as snap caps to demonstrate the easily reproducable problem.
3 clicks and there goes a divot on the floor. Lost count of rounds fired, and one of the cylinder locks apparently managed to cycle enough to skip the round.
Nobody injured. but holy hell I'm angry at myself today... 29 years of a perfect record down the tubes.
Thankfully 3 other folks on the line (after everyone checked for wounds) shared their own ND stories, and worse ones than mine... but minor as it is I'm going to be kicking myself for a while.
Side note, 2 trips to Taurus service and this damn revolver still won't complete a full load without the screwed up timing locking the cylinder up. I know lots of folks here have flawless Taurus, I don't seem to be laying hands on the good ones .
Off to clean the guns and beat myself up some more. Feh.
