Had the same issue with mine after firing sd 357 rounds. After freeing up the cylinder, hammer eould not go fully to the rear. Upon opening side plate I discovered two springs all bent to jell and dislodged. Srnt it back to taurus for repair and am eaiting for it to be returned. As of today they still have not began working on it. When I do get it back I have decided to sell it anf probably go with a s&w 686. Ashame too. I really love the fit and feel of the rossi. But I wouldn't feel comfortable trusting my life on it to function properly if needed.
