A slim possibility...>

...it doesn't completely match the symptoms you describe in your first post, (the one before the Spanish Inquisition arrived. But then, who ever expects the Spanish Inquisition...? :-)

If the extractor plunger tube (labeled A) comes loose, ( ie, revolves on its own), it may not completely depress the small pin (labeled B) in the middle of the star extractor at the rear of the cylinder. This is assuming your Taurus revolver operates the same way as my Taurus Model 689. This small pin acts to push the cylinder latch back, which allows the action to operate normally. The extractor plunger tube can come loose during rigorous cleaning, but only needs to be tighted back up by turning it in the appropriate direction, (it shouldn't then shoot loose on its own). So, it may be worth just quickly checking that the extractor tube is tight. If it is, that's not your problem.

​

Anyway, I hope your Taurus gets better.

I pull the trigger and it wont move at all so in short it doesn’t advance to the next round. I have to pull on the trigger a little and reach up to advance the wheel myself, (just slightly moving it to the left does the trick) then it does just fine until the next time it happens which is on average 3-4 out of eight shots. WHAT GIVES!!

Try cleaning the front face of the cylinder. You may have enough crud built up to interfere with free movement of the cylinder.

Hey there Doogle! The guy makes a first post with a wheelgun he's having trouble with, but doesn't know the model of the gun or the action. :confused: C'mon, even my great grandson knows that if a wheelie has a protruding hammer its a SA/DA.

He's telling us he doesn't know cocking the hammer is SA, and pulling the trigger without cocking is DA. He's telling us only after making the purchase he had to spend hours trying to find out the proper term and action for his outdated Taurus. He posts his problem at 5:30pm, and doesn't answer again until 2:30 in the morning. Most of us come to TFL for a few laughs, or to share information with other members. I don't come here to waste time with trolls, and this sure sounded like a troll to me.

Now that the Spanish Inquisition is over we find the post was about an old discontinued model, gathering dust on a shelf somewhere for years. Knowing this he experiences excessive malfunctions, but continues to put 200 rounds through it anyway.

The salesman who sold it to me called it hammerless so that is what I called it (my apologies)

He purchased a deadly weapon without asking the salesman, What's that thingy on the back, or show me how to shoot this revolver?

this pistol does exist though I called Taurus and found it had been discontinued so Sportsman’s warehouse must have had it on the shelf for some time before I purchased it.

He purchased a discontinued weapon, then had to call Taurus to find out what it was? :eek:

Hey there luvtoshoot, I own this bridge down in Brooklyn that I'm looking to unload for a very small price...

I don't think he needs a gun. He needs a mother! :D No wonder gun rights are going south in this country.

Excuse me! I have to take my Lithium for my schizophrenia. :eek:
 
Well, he didn't sound like a troll to me...>

...just someone new to handguns, and revolvers in particular. I expect there are many people with little or no firearms knowledge buying handguns for defense, rather than because they have any particular deeper interest in shooting.

The fact that luvtoshoot has found an online gun forum and started asking questions means his knowledge should now increase, for better or worse :-)
 
What the @#$%^ is wrong with you people!

Talk about conspiracy theorists.......... Jeez what the hell is the motive for this "troll" with a post like this??? He's asking simple questions about something he does not understand very well.

Great way to encourage new members to participate. Freakin ridiculous.

luvstoshoot: Please note there are plenty of people here who are very knowledgable (as is Bullrock) but who lack the chip on their shoulder.

Get off my a**. I have no chip, and I don't need you following me around on TFL to level threats and name calling. You don't know me, and I assume you don't know lovestoshoot. So get off my back.

This guy doesn't know a muzzle from a hammer. If he is new to guns then before buying a deadly weapon he should be getting instructions at a range, and taking a course in gun safety.

If you have read the entire thread, all I did was ask him for more information in order to help. For that this nice little boy who knows nothing (Sgt Schultz) comes back at me with this.

First of all PEZO and BULLROCK, did someone forget to take their Lithium for their schizophrenia today

In my opinion he is nothing more than a Taurus bashing troll. So you take responsibility for him, and hope he doesn't make a mistake with that malfunctioning Taurus.
 
Its obvious he's just a noob, he bought a Taurus, didn't he? :D

Oh, and SnWnMe, don't you know prostitution is illegal??? :barf:

Troll - someone posting with the purpose of inflaming or starting an emotional
response... basically done by jerks with nothing better to do with their spare time.

From his post, you feel confident that he fits the above definition (taken from the TFL FAQ area)???
 
I offer my apology for the "fishy" comment. :) P.S show us a pic of your new and defective taurus perhaps we can help.
 
Chances are he will send it to Taurus, they will fix it for free.

He will shoot it alot over the years and will post on Taurus threads like this that he had some initial problems with his Taurus and after they fixed it it has functioned great for thousands of rounds.

I would send it to the factory.

FWIW I have an 85 wheelgun and a PT92c that have functioned flawlessly since I acquired them.

Sorry for the Inquisition I was a little mad. I did buy the gun for self-defense but I love to shoot guns of all makes and models, but this is my first revolver ever. I found the parts you mentioned and it seems to be fine but if it were loose, I can’t see how I would tighten it. Anyway thank you for your information but I think I will take it back to the dealer or tell somebody what has been going on with it and sell it at a loss. I don’t think I will be posting here again. If I wanted a catfight, I’m sure I could find a good one on pay per view someplace.
Bullrock where I come from it’s not mandatory nor is it a crime to be unknowledgeable about the terminology of the action on a firearm to handle it Safely. And if you really think you can bad mouth somebody without knowing the whole story and have them just say nothing then think again. Maybe I went a little far in my second post with the whole schizophrenia thing [remark deleted]. You had nothing to go on except that I don’t know much of anything about revolvers and terminology. You can think and say what you will, I may not know a whole lot about Guns but like someone said, I will learn. I get the feeling you will never learn not to judge people for there shortcomings. I post often and have done so for a long time on the berretta forum I have never come across a person like you. Most people welcome others into the sport of shooting knowledgeable or unknowledgeable and if someone needs help in the terminology then they simply explain it to them I’m sorry to have asked so much of you. Nonetheless, take care, have a good life and keep shooting.

Ps. if it works, here is a pic of the gun and it being the first revolver I have purchased how would I know it was discontinued. Is there a way to tell? Sorry, for the low quality picture its taken with a camera phone.

Pezo I to apologize for the crude comments.

After finally getting a look at your Taurus, and being that a wheelgun is allot simplier than the Beretta you shoot, I'm even more suprised at your response. Your post was about a malfunctioning Taurus wheelie, not about basic handgun terminology that you tried to turn it into.

The gun you have in its current state is worthless. If the cylinder isn't properly locked into the frame you may end up picking metal out of your teeth.

Trolls usually do post, and run. Bye!
 
I have some final thoughts on this subject. If you have the gun repaired and decide to keep it, please fire 500 rounds through it at the range before you carry it for hunting or self defense.It would be a total disaster if you had to stop a threat and all you got was a loud click.My earlier post about the PT-145 shows that even after a repair that nothing is perfect.Nor do I hate Taurus but one thing I did find out in my battle with them.The guns are repaired by Repair Techs not gunsmiths. The gunsmiths oversee the techs so I guess they were at lunch when my gun went through.Good luck with revolver and I hope all goes well for you.

And you tell me I turned this thread into a basic Terminology Question. Well… maybe if you would have just commented on my question rather than assuming that I had some other fishy plot to my question Pezo “I may be wrong, but I do too! ”Then this worthless revolver may have by now been taken care of. @ 69 you would think a man would have enough life experience to read between the lines of a person posting something he didn’t know about and that same person being a TROLL.

I apologize for all of my rude or crude comments and would like to learn from your experience, not butt heads. After all of the problems that my first post created I looked over the forum rules
And if there are still problems after this post, I think it would be appropriate to take it to email. alfrediodice@hotmail.com because I am not a troll and don’t want to not post here anymore neither do I want that privilege taken from me. Take care. :)
 
thanks

Excellent advice, the funny thing is I don’t even get a loud click it just does not move almost like its locked up. :confused: I think I will push the envelope and go a thousand rounds before putting it into a situation where I would need to trust it (if I keep it) :D but thank you for all of your help and everyone else who has had an idea for help.
 
I'm going to close this thread. luvtoshoot is welcome to open a new thread about the revolver problem. A lot of the posters here are now better educated on the problem and may have some good answers on it. If he does open a new thread, I don't want to see any name calling in it.
