• Q: My cylinder is a little tough to open or close

  A:

  Norval, this is normal on this model Taurus. Mine took a few openings/closings to wear in. I helped it along by cleaning and using some light dry lube at the cylinder/frame contact points. She is butter smooth now. Also check cylinder for "free spin" to make sure it is not binding. Most firearms will have a wear in period of some sort. If you don't notice improvement after this, then contact Taurus for resolution at Taurus Customer Care (800) 327-3776 Monday - Friday

• Q: I just want a few more opinions, would you guys choose this Taurus or the EAA 770130 Windicator 357? I’m going back and forth on the two. I appreciate you guys.

  A:

  Anthony - You ask for opinions, but didn't specify what your intended use is for the revolver. If you are going to carry daily, then the Taurus is the obvious choice, due to size and weight. If you want something to just shoot occasionally at the range, then the EAA is more what you're looking for. If you're looking for something to do both, then I would say the Taurus is the way to go, and then shoot 38s in it at the range. You could carry it with 357s ... but shoot a few first so the recoil doesn't totally surprise you the first time you shoot it. Shooting .357 in a revolver as light and small as the Taurus is going to be torture after a few rounds. The EAA could help handle the extra recoil. Bottom line is .. what you intend to use the firearm for.
