Took my new five inch 94 back to the range this morning before work and put about 150 rounds thru it - absolutely no problems! I've fired it several times since it came back from Florida for the 3rd time this week (total of about 400 - 450 rounds) and I am convinced that all is well now! I am going to call Taurus CS tomorrow and tell them what a good job they did. Too bad they can't actually build the firearms there - the tech service folks have done a great job all 3 times it went back (each time for a different situation). I think that this revolver was something like a piece of electronics - all the issues that it had showed up either immediately or soon after and once they were corrected, everything is fine!
DH and I tweeked the innards of the 94 a bit earlier this week but I am going to leave everything as it is for a while - DH and y'all convinced me. I am finding that I am shooting to the right with it, but that could be because the trigger is still a bit stiff but I'm not going to adjust the hammer spring any more. I just moved the rear sight a smidge to accommodate - it's annoying how the rear sight works - you have to loosen the left and right screws, move the sight, and then tighten the screws down again. The sight adjustment never really bothered me with my old 4" 94, but I guess that older one was pretty much sighted in close to what I needed it to be when I "adopted' it and I didn't have to mess too much with those 2 screws. It's not like my old 96 where it's just one screw for left/right adjustment - which is a lot easier and more accurate.
I've included some pictures- my new very dirty after today's range time five inch 94 on one of my favorite quilts, one of todays targets shot with the 94, and also the last shot is a target of me shooting my new to me 23 yr old 6" Taurus 66 with DH's very first hand loads of 38 special! It was a good day at the range - and DH shot his 2 Colt Troopers - a 357 ( he wants to make hotter 38 loads for that - I told him heck no - leave mine alone!) and a 22lr. All in all we burned up a lot of ammo today - hope some falls from the sky so that we can replenish the dwindling stock pile! I'll get a picture of my 66 posted as soon as I bust it out of lockup at the ffl/indoor range. 3 weeks - and the paperwork still isn't back - sheesh! Hope ya'll got some range time in - today is Super Bowl and here in Maryland, home of the Ravens all is quiet while everyone prepares to watch the game...
