I have a Taurus 627 and after a day at the range, i took it home to clean it and went to open the cylinder and it was lock solid, only put 75 rounds of wwb .38spl through it. had to send it back to Taurus and they had to replace some inner parts because they broke, and told me not to shoot reloads, I told them it was factory ammo and the basically told me to pound sand. So talking to someone and they told me they use shitty cast parts inside. so went out got a Ruger. get a uger or Smith and be happpy the first time.
