After my PT111 and PT145 purchases I purchased a Taurus 851SSUL revolver. My two pistols have given me good service and I thought a Taurus revolver would be the same. Wrong! Already my UL is sitting in a gunsmiths shop. On my first attempt to clean the barrel before a trip to the range I noticed small metal burrs at the front end of the barrel. Apparently when the steel barrel was pressed into the light weight shroud (at the front) several small metal burrs intruded into the barrel. I examed the gun at time of purchase but not with a mag glass to see this flaw. The gunsmith said he could fix or send it back to Taurus but it would take about five weeks. Anyone have a similar problem with Taurus workmanship? Was told if I shot a round it might send splinters sideways or worse. Thought I would mention this in case someone else purchases one of these ultralight revolvers where the barrel is eclosed in a lighter shroud.
