A friend of mind has a Taurus 5 shot .357 that is starting to spit lead and other nasties out of the side when it's fired.
My question is, what exactly causes this? I realize that it's most likely because the cylinder hasn't lined up with the bore and is shaving the side of the bullet as it travels through the gap, but which components are causing this? Is this an easily remedied problem? Is this a high or low dollar fix? Is this a common problem with these pistols?
Thanks in advance for clearing this up for me.
