Now this is putting your finger on the problem

It wouldn't fire beacuase it was a Taurus ?

That's a low blow !

How did that guy get a gun anyway? New York has laws to prevent that sort of thing.

It would be interesting to see what happens with the criminal possession of a weapon charge. Gun charges get pled down so often by procecutors in cities that are supposedly "serious about handgun violence."

I wonder how he got the crack, that's illegal you know. New York has laws to prevent that sort of thing.
 
Enough Taurus bashing it has gotten OLD .

This story smells fishy, to say the least

Another story that holds very little or no truth.

There is no way the BG could have continued to pull the trigger if the LEO had his finger jammed between the hammer and frame or cylinder as they described it. The trigger won't pull back the hammer or rotate the cylinder once the trigger is blocked, effectively locking the pistol. Thsi is they way nearly every pistol works, not just a Taurus, but all of them.

The LEO may have broken his finger if the BG was trying to twist it out of the LEO's hand and then snapped it in the process. but there is no way it was broken by the BG continually pulling the trigger

None of the accounting of this incident makes sense. The story title starts with the officer putting his finger in the trigger guard to prevent it from being fired. At that point, I'd say the LEO would have had possession of the revolver, and with little more struggle he could have had the gun secured. Then a little further down in the story his finger is blocking the hammer. Once the hammer is blocked, the pistol's locked up as well.
Try this with an empty revolver just once (not really, just trust me on this). These guns lock up with little effort. It's in their design.

Sounds to me like somebody's looking for another sensational gun capture story.

No, it sounds legit. If the hammer was cocked back and he stuck his finger between the hammer and frame, I can see the hammer beating on his finger if the BG kept pulling the trigger.
 
Lethal Weapon.

Mel took the Glovers revolver and puts it up to his head and just before that, Glover put his hand.......You have to see the movie.:D

I've also heard of old school training, to put your finger in the trigger guard behind the trigger on a DA revolver to not be shot. No matter how hard he pulls, the gun will not shoot you.
 
Tried to break my finger

Placed each finger in turn between the hammer and frame of a Taurus M85, S&W 10, S&W 686, and S&W 629. Tried very hard but no fingers were harmed in any way. As previously stated, a revolver will not function with the hammer blocked by a finger or suitable substitute.

The reporter simply erred in reporting the facts or not all the fact were reported. Glad the officer was not injured or killed.
 
If it's a semi, grab the slide and push towards the BG, it won't shoot as long as you can maintain that. On a Beretta, also hit the lever on the side and just pull the slide off.
