Taurus 608 locked up

[clem]

I own four Taurus weapons. A PT99, Mod 66, Judge and a 941. The first three are great guns and shoot well. The NEW 941 is a piece of junk. It was sent to Taurus for repair. Only half of the repairs were done and they sent my brand NEW 941 back with dents in the frame.:banghead:
I wrote a letter of complaint to the CEO Mr. Morrison (registered/return receipt). I know they got the letter but I guess they were out of toliet paper.

NO MORE TAURUS FOR ME, EVER!

JR47, if you click on the link provided in my post, you'll see exactly where the information about the differences in the S&W and Taurus crane/yoke assemblies came from.
Now whether or not Mr. Eckstine was full of BS when he wrote the article, I cannot say.

 

[Taurus 617 CCW]

I had a customer bring a Taurus Judge in to me a couple of years ago. He said that it would freeze up on two of the cylinders. I confirmed his statement later with a function check. After a detailed inspection I found out that there were burs left inside the ejector rod housing at the very front end of the cylinder. It took a couple of hours of applying a fine grit lapping compound and some patience. I got it working again without that nasty sticking problem. I would highly recommend you take in to a local smith and at least have them take a look at it. Loosening screws on a revolver to make it function is not a good thing.
