My revolver
Gentlemen,
I'm having an issue with my piece-of-shit Taurus revolver and I am hoping that I can fix it without having to go to the hassle of mailing it back to the factory again.
The firing pin is hitting the primer hard enough to make a small dent but with insufficient force to fire the bullet. This happens about 1/3 of the time. I have tried two different bullets that worked fine in my other .357.
Is there a simple adjustment I can make?

Not positive, but since Taurus is pretty much a Smith clone, try this. Remove the grips. On the front side of the handel frame, at the bottom, there should be a screw. If it is a clone of the smith, this screw will control mainspring pressure. Tighten the screw all the way ( this may cause an increase in trigger pull, but it will make the gun go bang). If the screw is not in the above mentioned local, take a pic of the gun with the grips off and post it. Basically though, there should be a screw inside the grip somewhere that needs to be tightened and locktited in place.
I'll get the schematics out tonight.
Look over the manual, (if you still have it) anything that says "mainspring tension screw" or set screw will be the thing to look for. Call me if you need any on the spot advice. 806-290-0878
