Help with Taurus model 44

[MichaelK]

Was shooting my Taurus 44 this weekend when the cylinder just came out of the frame. Wasn't shooting max loads, just some 44 specials. Can't slide the hinge pin all the way in for the cylinder to go back into position. The end of the hinge pin has a plunger/spring on it and think it must engage the trigger mechanism somehow but the exploded diagram in my instruction manual is useless.

Can someone direct me to a website that has assembly/disassembly instructions for Taurus revolvers. I searched last night for one and came up empty.

Thanks, I went there and found a pictural set describing how to take the cylinder out. Just what I need.

I did it! The pictural series from taurusarmed.net was really helpful MMCSRET. Turned out what happened was the forward sideplate screw loosened which allowed the cylinder stop plunger to move forward during recoil. After the cylinder fell out though, there was enough of the screw left in to prevent the cylinder crane from going back in. I completely disassembled the trigger system and got the pieces back together.

Without the diagrams though, I would not have been able to re-assemble the revolver. But, with a little help, I did it myself. How much would that have cost if I had to take it in to a gunsmith?
Thanks again,
Michael
