I bought one of these about a year ago. I had it out to the range three times and then I had a mechanical failure. I haven't gotten around to getting it fixed yet. My observations regarding the performance of the gun are as follows: 1) Accuracy was good for something with a short barrel...

Thanks for your help. It sounds like sending it back to Taurus might be the best way to go. Do you have any idea what it might cost (wost case scenario) to have a gun smith make the repairs? Up to this point I've been very happy with every Taurus I've owned. I realized that they might have...

hexidismal - It looks like the cylinder stop is not popping back up when the hammer is cocked. With the hammer down the cylinder stop locks the cylinder in position. I can even push on it with my finger with the cylinder open and it pops right back up. It doesn't appear to be sticking and...

Hexidismal - Thanks for the information. This gives me a starting place to work with. When I get home from work I'll take a look at the gun and post what I find. I appreciate your help.

hexidismal - to answer your questions, 1) The cylinder does rotate when I cock the hammer. I believe the failure to fire was most likely caused by the cylinder not aligning properly and thus when the trigger is pulled the hammer doesn't strike the primer. Most likely because it was bumped...

I'm looking for some help / advice regarding a Taurus model 605 that I bought a while back. I bought the gun to carry in my wife's car as a self defense weapon. I've put less than 100 rounds through the gun and up until the other day I've never had a problem. When I took the gun to the...

No Picture I don't have a picture yet, I bought it on my way to work and it is sitting quietly in my laptop bag. I can't really pull it out to take a picture with my phone. From what little information I have found since I made this post, it looks the it is a Taurus Model 44 in Stainless...

I just purchased a Taurus M44CP today. I had originally planned to pick up a Tracker with a 4" Barrel but I saw the M44CP for $10 more. I liked the idea of having six rounds instead of five and it looked like the frame was a little beefier. After getting the gun home I tried to look for info...

I've actually shot out near the Rio Puerco on a number of occasions. If I'm thinking of the right place it is out off of I-40 down the frontage road past the turn off for Shooting Range park. I haven't been out there recently because a few of my co-workers are convinced that it is illegal to...

This question is for anyone living in or around the Albuquerque, NM area. Other than Shooting Range State Park and Calibers, does anyone know where I can go to shoot legally? My only days off from work are the same days that Shooting Range State Park is closed, and Calibers isn't really...

Greetings Everyone. This is my first time posting on this forum, although I have been lurking around for a while just reading and learning. It looks like THR is a a great place to come for information. I picked up a Springfield SOCOM II today and I had a few questions: 1) Does anyone...
