Hope I'm in the right section.
I recently bought a 617, 357 and really like the feel of it. The problem is this: the first trip to the range Loaded up 7 rounds and took 3 shots. On the 4th shot i got a bit of a splatter out of it and the cylinder jammed. When I opened it up, I found a sliver of copper off the bullet had wedged between the cylinder and the barrel. I removed it and everything seemed fine. I took a couple more shots and it did it again. I ran some 38's through it with no problem and figured it might be the ammo. It was 158 grain jhp's. I put some 158 grain jsp's through it with the same results.
It fires the 38's with no problem but i just doesn't like the 357's.
Is this something that I should concider sending back to Taurus for repair?
I like this gun but at this point, wouldn't trust it as a carry piece.
