[QUOTE="Traxxis, post: 1347521, member: 8980"] I have a Taurus Model 66 that belongs to my sister that is giving me fits. First off, I will say, I was mildly impressed with the little Taurus, after years of thinking they would be horrible firearms. I have found it to be very accurate (what wheel gun isn't?) and fairly well assembled. Now, I was NOT impressed with the insides, which looked like they were chipped out using stone and a hammer. There were machine marks that you could cut yourself on in there. Here is my issue: In double action on a cleared gun, I can pull the trigger numerous times, and then now and then it will hang up (imagine that, a 1911 guy saying a wheelgun is mis-feeding!). I have determined the cause to be the cylinder stop not fully moving out of the way of in time to allow the cylinder to begin to turn. Upon further inspection, I see that the cylinder stop does indeed pull down out of the way, but then, just before the cylinder has a chance to turn, it jumps back up in the notch. This does NOT happen in single action. This gun will potentially be CCW (gotta love a woman with a wheel gun), but I will NOT let her have it until it proves to be 100% reliable, 100% of the time. Just in case this doesn't give you afficienados enough to go on, I snapped a quick little youtube video of it that may help to get the point across. Sense I only have two hands, one holding the camera, the other to pull the trigger, and the gun in a vise... I was not able to do an on camera safety check as I had no more hands to spare. You must take my word for it. Because I'm sure you guys understand that, I am uploading this as a private video so it won't be found without the specific link. I don't want anybody ever using any video of mine for any anti gun propaganda. So, the gun had already been checked numerous times. Let me know if the link doesn't work: [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SX1nvwswo8[/url] [/QUOTE]
