I respectfully disagree with this. It is not stated as a part of the normal lubrication & cleaning of this pistol in the manual. I agree that is a good thing to do every once in a while or just to learn how the internals work, but it seems unneccesary as a normal routine.kashdaddy said:its easy to take this apart and should be done at least every other practice.
The reason that i say every other practice is because of what i personally see when i take mine down. I use a variety of ammo and i shoot about 100 rounds per practice session. I used to take mine down every time to check............then i see that it gets pretty messy at about 200 rounds. Of course the manual would not recommend this as it can become a liability since a spring can go missing or most people might not be technical or have the patient to do such a detailed cleaning. Then, you would have a bunch of people shipping their pistols back to get it fixed. Its your pistol and your choice and its only a recommendation by me as i personally see the amount of mess that can build up. Its stated that liability insurance is required on your auto, but full-coverage is always betterkingofwylietx said:I respectfully disagree with this.

I guess, I consider the front of the firing pin the part that strikes the primer...........if this is the part that you call the rear then, YES. There is a spring that is about 3-5 coils in length with a staggered design (fat end and smaller end).iostorm said:there is no return spring at the front end of the firing pin, it is at the rear of the firing pin.
Well, i am not sure if its a generation thing, but i know mine has one. If i press my firing pin in manually then this springs helps to throw it back out.......without this spring in place then i notice a sticking of the firing pin. I checked the diagram and it states that is a part there also. Maybe a call to taurus can confirm this. When i took my pistol apart for the very first time then i actually missed this spring and then as i went over everything in the diagram and inspected then i found it.iostorm said:Again there is not or was not one on my 3rd or 4th gen 145. mine was taken apart in a large glad bag and was inspected for the first time in that bag, there is no spring at that location.
