A revolver is expected to revolve. Let’s fix the issue. Taurus .38. Cylinder not rotating.

Finding the reason my friend's revolver was not rotating the cylinder.

[@johnkellmer5133]

That was well shown and explained. I like that you just simply stated what the purpose of the part was, how to remove, and replace it in clear and not overly complicated way. Kinda takes the fear of screwing up out

[@armageddonoutdoors439]

Thank you for the positive feedback

[@happycup9017]

That was just what i needed. I needed a walk through on disassembly before i started taking screws out. Perfect camera work. I was able to zoom in and see every step.👍

Excellent video, just 1 suggestion. When working with springs wear some eye protection. Springs should behave but the scratch on my glasses have reminded me otherwise! Keep up the great work!

[@raybutts9133]

Great and wise suggestion on your part!

[@DBR00]

Good video Kevin. I love the fact that you spoke in a clear concise manner. You also, didn’t embed background music! I do suggest however, that you do a few more close ups. I know it’s hard to do it by yourself, but maybe someone else can hold the camera while you’re showing us the gun. Don’t take this as bad criticism. It’s just really hard to see what parts you’re showing because the camera was too far away. I’m going to sub to your channel because you seem like a nice guy!

[@armageddonoutdoors439]

Thank you. I agree the camera work want the best. I did it with my phone and a makeshift bracket to hold it still. Please rest assured future videos will be better, I hope. Again thank you for the comments and for the sub.

[@randymccalla9995]

I have been in those actions a couple of times..This is a very good video, showing Taurus Trigger Operation and design, with unusual troubles due to storage or none use for long periods of time. I would like to add another detail, that the transfer bar, I have found several times, will have Too Much Arch bend, and will catch on the frame, just above the cylinder lock pin assembly,and stop the trigger full rearward travel. A very careful and slow change in the bend of the transfer bar will restore Another fail.

You can also put a drop of oil on it and depress it several times working the oil into it. Same for the cylinder release latch and the cylinder ejector rod.

All these people bashing on Taurus in the comments have never owned one, and are just repeating what they heard/ read on some forum ie Trolls 😮

Agreed @mikecollins8241 Everyone has opinions. Not all are correct. My thoughts, if you like it, if it doesn’t give you any troubles, go for it. People need to stop hating on everything and everyone when they don’t follow your same thoughts.

[@thebluesrockers]

Taurus has had a bad Reputation for poor quality guns over the years. I really loved the finish on that Taurus, were the older ones better? and do you know what years of Taurus to avoid? I really like the looks of those and have heard many great things about those 85's. I was thinking about buying the 905 to have it in a 9mm..I was hoping you'd give me a little insight on them if you could. Thanks for this great video. It looks well made but it must have gotten pretty dirty over the years from dust and hand oils. That's my guess on it. you did an amazing job fixing that. I probably would have put an upgrade spring kit in it at that point, but you managed to fix it and keep it all original. Great job man, I'm sure the guy was quite happy to have it back 100% again. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. Peace..

[@armageddonoutdoors439]

Thank you for the positive comments. I don't have much info on Taurus firearms other than what I've heard over time. This repair was for a great friend of mine. It was his father's concealed carry and he was so happy to have it working again.

[@asclepioesculapio3522]

I have a Taurus 856 38 special. The cylinder spins nicely if I dry shoot with dummy ammo, but when I shoot live ammo the cylinder gets jammed and the trigger gets stiff. Any suggestions? Nice video, BTW. Congrats!

[@armageddonoutdoors439]

Thanks for the comments. I suggest disassembling your revolver as I did. It may be as simple as the internals is dirty like the one I took apart and the pressures generated when firing is causing it to get jammed up inside. The other thought is the internals could be so dry depending on age and your climate and it needs to be oiled up. Either way, if you feel comfortable doing it, take your time and care when taking it apart and it will give you a great feeling doing it yourself.
