Greetings to all.
I bought a 3" blued Taurus Judge on 12/8/07 and am worried about the wear on the gun (it has been shipped back to Taurus). The gun was fired approximately 200-250 times total with Magtech 45LC Cowboy rounds plus 3 shotgun shells. The gun is now showing metal wear on the front cylinder and the metal appears to have fused to the upper right corner of the main barrel. In addition, the blueing is coming off on the gun in several places, most noticeably on the right front tip of the barrel.
The gun has had only the use described above, along with cleanings after every session and storage in a gun pouch within a safe using a dehumidifier. Thus, I feel the wear on the gun is excessive for the minimal use. Hs anyone else had problems like this? I absolutely love the gun but have some concerns now. Taurus has been less than helpful re: Customer Service, so I am awaiting word from them. Hopefully something can be done.
I am hopefully attaching a couple of small pics to show the damage, but am new here so I hope it works.
