Hello to everyone I had a problem pop up today that I've never experienced. I know Taurus revolvers have a bad reputation but this one has been a fun little shooter in small doses. Today I put about 30 38 special rounds through it. It was the most I've shot in a short period of time. It got a little hot and had a failure. The thumb piece locked up and I can't open the cylinder. I noticed that the screw on the thumb piece was loose and therefore the thumb piece is loose as well. Tightened it again but I still can't open the cylinder. Any suggestions on what to do?
I know about their reputation and I'm not looking to start a bashing session. Just wondered if this was a problem I could fix or if this was something more serious. Could it be a precursor to other problems? I have a 686 and a GP100 for real life situations but I always wanted a little snubbie so I bought a cheap one. I appreciate any advice. Thank you.
