Hello,
This is my first post here. I just bough my first firearm, a stainless steel Taurus Tracker with a four inch barrel. I'd originally had my eye on another revolver, but California's highly restrictive gun laws narrowed my choices. The Tracker is a nice option, though I did not particularly want a ported gun. Basically I wanted a .357 revolver that was not too expensive, to be used for home defense, and a bit of fun target shooting.
Anyway, I realize that new guns may take a bit of use before all the mechanical bits start to function smoothly. The trigger action, for example, is not stiff, but it was at first. At this point though the cylinder does not swing smoothly out. When I press the release I have to manually push the cylinder out with the other had. It doesn't require much force, but it would be nice if the cylinder just popped out, especially when my wife, who has somewhat small hands, was using it.
While I have not done a lot of shooting, the very well used rental revolver my wife and I fired before had a cylinder that popped out easily upon release.
Is my Taurus likely to develop a smoother opening cylinder with a bit of use? It functions well in other ways at this point. If not, what are our options?
