After firing about 20 rounds or so, the cylinder begins to lock up between every 5 or 12 rounds fired.

Regardless if shooting single or double action.

Sometimes it can be freed by gently rocking the cylinder back and forth - other times I have to open and reclose it.

This morning at the range it was especially troublesome.

Any ideas or fixes I can perform ?

Remove the side plate and make sure it is clean and lubed. Make sure that the action is clear of any grit or debris from manufacture.

Also make sure that the ejector rod isn't coming loose and hanging things up. Sometimes a simple tightening will solve the lock-up problem. If I had the gun in my hands I'd check it out for you. Perhaps you could meet a wheelgunner from SCFGPA at the range to look it over for you. Just offer to stop for dessert @ Randazzo's on Rt. 202 and I'll be there tonight, lol!

 

Good luck with it!

Don't mess with it, send it back to Taurus. I had a the same problem with my Tracker, the people down there are great, and will work with you. Don't forget Taurus has a real life time warrenty.

Yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmy!!!! Randazzo's!!!

Just try and get Taurus to pay for the shipping of the firearm back to Florida, especially if it is under a year old. I'm in the midst of a battle with them now over that issue.

I have the same symptoms with my 94. I just stopped shooting it and it sits in the safe. I guess I should get it sent back to Taurus?
