Taurus Model 44 jamming during firing?

Congrats, sounds like you found the problem. In the unlikely event that it continues to act up (and for the benefit of other members), since it costs probably more than $60 to send the gun to Taurus (and you have to deal with their often lousy customer service), you are nearly always better off to pay a local gunsmith $50 to $75 to fix problems with a Taurus.

I hear you on your next gun being a S&W. I am partial to them myself, but a working Taurus should also provide years of trouble free service. I had a 6" Taurus 66 I should have never sold, and I'm the happy owner of a cool blued 3" Model 431 .44 Special. Hopefully once this glitch is corrected you'll get lots of good use out of it. :cool:
 
I hear you buddy I definetly want this thing to last as long as possible. Yeah I've heard about the issues with taurus's CS so I was wary of sending it to them. Would've also been wary of voiding the warranty by having a gunsmith tinker with it. Plus I like fixing stuff on my own ain't got anything against gunsmiths it's just the way I am. Had it been a problem with the action I wouldn't have messed with that with my current level of knowledge. I intend to learn everything a gunsmith would know at some point though so that's why I tackled it myself(with guidance from you guys of course). I'm 99.9% sure it won't jam again now and I might go out to a range tomorrow and check it out.
