Hey Folks,
Twice during the three years that I owed my model 66 revolver it has locked up and was repaired by Taurus. I got it back the other day. I have a copy of the repair sheet which said they replaced the center pin and adjusted the cylinder yoke. Their recommendations were not to use reloads and that my firearm was dirty. It was dirty because it broke while I was firing it. As far as reloads, I use CCI Blazer .357/.38 ammo.
Do you think the CCI ammo is causing the problems? I've used that ammo from the time I purchased the gun. When I clean the gun, I clean everything I can get to externally on the gun with a good gun solvent. I don't take the grip off to get into the gun. Do you think that could be the problem?
I also saw on the other Taurus Forum where another person has a model 66 that was locking up. Is this common with this model gun?
Thanks for any advice.
