Taurus Tracker in 44 mag. Keep in mind I've had this gun less than 30 days and 40 rounds have been put through it. I bought it new. My first clue to what was in store was when I got it home. I took it out of the box and the cylinder fell out onto the floor. Not to be outdone, I fooled with it a bit and got it locked back in. Took it to the range twice and both times something just felt "not quite right." Yesterday, on my third trip to the range, it locked up on the first cylinder of shells, completely locked up, cocked. The hammer was locked back, cylinder was locked, couldn't do anything. I fooled with it a bit, let some other handgun guys who were there fool with it. We couldn't get it unlocked. So...I made the trip home with a loaded, cocked, 44 magnum in my car. When I got home, I had to take the thing apart to get at the mechanism inside. Got it unlocked and took the shells out. After the shells were out I fooled with it and it either locked completely or the cylinder wouldn't turn. I bought this gun for a trail gun, short barrel, powerful, pretty gun, easy to handle and pull out of my jacket. Stainless steel. It may be able to be fixed but I'm not going to fool with it. I've lost all confidence in the gun and I just don't want it anymore. When I load a gun and pull the trigger, I expect it to go off. I'm going to get rid of it. Sell it, trade it, or whatever but I won't keep a gun like that in my house. That's my first and last experience with anything Taurus. The next one will be Ruger or Smith. It's a pretty gun to look at but that's about all you can do with it. It was around $100 less than the next one up. You get what you pay for...
