Fixing Taurus guns

[dakotashooter2]

While my experience are far from definitive I have noticed what seems to be a pattern in problems with the few Taurus guns I have owned and some of what I have read from others. Most of the problems I have experienced have been related to fit and finish of parts. I have discovered that polishing of parts often cures many of the problems I have encountered. My own problems have been due mainly to burrs or rough surfaces in areas with fairly tight tollerances. Easy fixes but those that should be unnecessary on a new gun. That said I am not prepared give my full endorsment of the guns (which probably means nothing to most anyway) or go out and buy them by the truckload but if you can find a bargain price on one with such problems and are fairly handy it may be a worth  second thought.

I second the motion.  I have spent more time with sandpaper and steel wool and screwdrivers with my taurus than any other gun ive ever owned.  the problems ive had have never been huge, but such an annoyance.

Ditto...
Rough cylinder swing out, machining marks in cylinder holes, rough scratchy trigger.  All cured with various grades of polishing compounds applied to a buffing tip in a dremel or high speed drill press.
