Taurus 856 and 605. ARE THEY GARBAGE?!

The update on the two Taurus revolvers I had to send back for repairs.
Check out the first video on these here: • Taurus 856 and 605 Pol...

[@cliffhouser9138]

The first time I sent my 905 back for light primer strikes it cost me $50 for shipping and Taurus said they shot 10 rounds and found no problem. The next 3 times I sent it in they sent me a free shipping label. Finally after 4 returns to the factory, I have fired over 500 rounds and every round has gone bang. In the last year I have sent 2 different Charter Arms, a Kimber, and a Smith and Wesson performance center in for repairs. I'm disappointed in the Quality control of all gun manufacturers.

[@johnnyshootsalot]

Machines are prone to defects and malfunctions. Just the nature of the game. My judgement of a manufacturer, however, is directly tied to how they deal with the issues their products have and how they treat their customers. Taurus isn't the worst in the world, (and I have some very functional Taurus firearms), but S&W and Ruger are at a higher level with both craftsmanship, (obviously), and more importantly, customer care. My 856 has been cracking off rounds consistently since I got it back, but only time and many rounds will tell the whole story.

[@jasonashley4579]

I had a to send a Sig back several times so I agree with that.

[@chrisstrefling6193]

I've had good experiences with my Taurus pistols. I actually contacted Taurus about some corrosion on the slide of my gx4 with a tungsten slide. They sent me a shipping label and in just over a week I had my firearm back with a new slide no questions asked . There was even a holiday in that time frame. Excellent customer service!

[@johnnyshootsalot]

I would say that is likely the exception to tge norm.

[@lesserof2elvis]

Very interesting. How'd that turn out? I had the same problems with my brand new 856ULCH. Sent back to Taurus with a crooked barrel. Paperwork said they adjusted the barrel, but it's no different. Then started getting light strikes, so sent it to Bainbridge again. Came back with paperwork that just said "replaced cylinder". They certainly did, and it was covered with surface rust. I just light sanded and oiled it up vs sending it back. Now, I'm getting the same result you are: This was my best shooting small gun, and now it's not an accurate shooter at all. I also noticed that the trigger action is not as smooth as it was (might just need to wear that cylinder down some). At any rate, I reached the same conclusion you did, in that I don't know if I'll ever shoot that gun again.

[@frugalprepper]

I have a 605 steel. I have had it back to Taurus twice. I've had it for 20 years, and I bought it used at a gun show. Once for a forcing cone adjustment and once for a broken sear. But I run Hot 357 Magnum loads through it, and I have shot it a lot. It took about 6 weeks each time. The last time they shipped it back to me, I got no notification is was coming. It came in a fed ex box and they didn't require a signature or anything. I just found it sitting on my front porch when I got home from work! Ruger has great customer service, completely not like Taurus.

[@johnnyshootsalot]

All my returns to Taurus were sent back that way... I wld assume that the steel 605 is WAAAAYYYYY better to shoot than the poly. And I'm sure it's far more durable.

[@gregb6469]

I just got an 856, and as I look at it closely I see that the barrel is not on straight! It's very slightly off, so I don't think it will affect accuracy, at least not at the short distances I am most likely to use it (it's going into my conceal-carry rotation), but I'm disappointed.

[@ForeverTrollin]

I have a SS 605 and had minor issues with lockup on the very first 5 rounds of 357. Zero issues after firing a few boxes and it seems to have smoothed out all the wheel and action. I actually shoot it better than all my polymer handguns by far, most accurate handgun i own.

[@johnnyshootsalot]

I actually shoot my poly 605 very well too. (When it works...) I'm sure the stainless versions are far more durable.

[@gregorystatt5562]

I just got my 856 back for the 3rd time for light primerstrikes. First time they said they replaced the hammer spring. I had just done that before sending it back lol. I put Wolff springs in and although the trigger was alot better, I still had light primer strikes. Second time, they said they "adjusted the cylinder axis", which is a fancybway of saying they whacked it with a special hammer. I still had the same problems. Now, Taurus says that they replaced the firing pin and hand. I don't know what the "hand" is, so I will do some research. I'm going to the range tomorrow. We will see how it goes, but I will never trust my life with it no matter how many rounds go through it. I'm going to try and trade it for some 357 ammo at the next gun show.

[@Wildwestwrangler]

The hand or pawl is the piece that turns the cylinder while the hammer is coming back

[@chubbyjohnson5480]

I had good luck with the G series semi-autos and my TH9. But my 856 also had a crooked barrel, like yours. When I get it back, I'm trading it off

[@jamesfoster6890]

So i recently purchased the Defender 605 with the tungsten wood grips. Absolutely beautiful revolver. Took it to the range 3 times and did general cleaning twice. No problems and then all of the sudden the ejector rod is getting stuck and then the cylinder wont release. I just sent it back to Taurus for a warranty claim. Hoping its an easy fix but its a bummer to have issues after only about 150 rounds through it.

[@alegroman4294]

Thank you. You just helped me make my decision as to whether I should get a 605 or not? I recently bought an EAA Windicator 2 inch snubby in 38 special. In spite of mix reviews, I bought it anyway simply because it looks nice, shiny, and black unlike the matte dull finish of revolvers in that price range. Kind of reminiscent of Colt snub nose of bygone era. Now I am hesitant to even shoot it because of what I may discovered. Maybe I will use it as a conversation piece. Lol

[@johnnyshootsalot]

Hey, thanks for watching! I think the steel 605 is probably a decent gun, and would be a good .38 special shooter. But the 605 poly protector is just not built like it should be. If you ONLY intended on carrying it in a bag or something and not really shooting it, I can see how it would be useful. But even then, you need to regularly shoot a gun that you carry, and that one will wear out before long. Now, the 856 is another story, and overall is a decent option. That said, you can get a S&W used for just a few dollars more and that would be a much better and safer option.

[@rebel9channel]

I shot up a Taurus TCP. The frame cracked on it after 1000's of rounds over the years. I like the gun for pocket carry, had extra mags and holsters for it. So, I figured it has a lifetime warranty, and I sent it back. They said the couldn't fix it and sent me a Taurus spectrum. That gun was a piece of crap, I sold it.

[@joeashbubemma]

Whenever there's a "light primer strike" complaint, they always put a heavy ass hammer spring in it. Sometimes, light strikes are caused by poor fitment, excess friction, bent internals. If your hammer is scratched up, it's hitting the frame, causing light primer strikes. Take it to a smith, I did a trigger job, added reduced power springs, my 856 runs like butter.

The 605 poly & ruger LCR snubby's are both polymer, with that being said. I would only run .357 mag 110grain up too 125 grainers. In these Lil poly pocket rockets. And leave the heavier 158 grainers for the steel 3"barrels & up. I've had my Lil 605 poly going on better part of 6yrs now and never had any issues with it. In which I acquired from a pawn shop pick up at one Hella deal. To this day it's still part of my EDC rotation and makes an excellent run to the corner store from some munchies pocket rocket, when I don't wanna pack my g19 or kimber ultra carry 2. For a quick trip to the store. IMHO. always carry , stay vigilant, stay safe.

[@KaiTakApproach]

I just had to return a Ruger Mark IV. So I went ahead and bought a 605. In a day and age where nothing is built or works right, might as well roll the dice on a Taurus.

[@bobg1685]

Taurus appears to be all over the place when it comes to quality control; some peeps hate them because of experiences like yours, but my own cautious appreciation is based on having only one of their guns that runs well. I have the 856 and I prefer this over my S&W 642. I know, I know: hate. This particular Taurus is just better for me; the 642 is noticeably smaller, but I carry the 856 well enough. I've run maybe 300 rounds through it with absolutely no problems, and currently have a laser grip on it. I'd LIKE to get the 856 Defender (3" barrel) but am struggling with the idea of getting a gun that serves no real purpose for me, other than just a carry replacement for the 856 I already carry. Reviews like yours really do influence fence-sitters like me. Good luck with your guns.

[@johnnyshootsalot]

Thanks for the comment. And believe it or not, I actually am a Taurus fan. But they are the epitome of unreliable as a manufacturer. Some of my Taurus pistols are great and i like a lot of the Taurus accessories. Some are just plain junk and their customer service is about as bad as I've experienced in the firearm industry. But the G3C and GX4 are both very good guns that have been extremely consistent and reliable. I will have an update on my 856 coming soon.

I had been a pretty big fan of the 856 until it started having the issues mentioned here. Good feel, good shooter, good size. It's still a decent gun and I've run a ton of rounds through mine, but it's sad that it didn't stand up to the test of time.

I am dealing with my own Taurus 605 issues, freewheeling of the cylinder, over travel of the cylinder in single action, amongst other things. Out of all of my firearms, this is without a doubt the most dangerous one for the operator. It is too similar to the snafu of the Reminington 700 safety failure. The 605 is a dangerous pistol to its handler.

[@johnnyshootsalot]

I don't have experience with the steel framed 605, but the poly 605 is indeed trash. Taurus is like many budget focused companies these days. You just never know what you're gona get, and they don't have the integrity to really stand behind their products like Ruger or S&W. No doubt, you can get a very good functioning product from them. But you can also get something almost worthless in the next box.

This is an emblematic story of Taurus firearms. Some are great. Some are complete trash. You never know what you'll get inside that orange and white box. If you can accept that, then I say embrace Taurus. I have some of their guns that are really fantastic. But if you're betting on getting, or genuinely need, a solid, reliable piece for whatever reason, perhaps it would be prudent to look elsewhere.

Was considering a Taurus 605 2“ due to the price. Gonna spend a little more. Seeing too many of these warranty vids.

I've dealt with both companies for years but lean to midwayusa due to them also selling scopes, bipod, etc. You don't need to reload to get some good wadcutters. Great thing about them is they don't have the recoil of +p jhps cuz they don't need them. They cut clean through and tumble after expending about 60% of their energy. They are devastating and smooth shooting. I'm just saying, worth trying out to see if you like em. 👍

You stated that Taurus said they fired 357 magnum 158 grain, But a Taurus 856 is a 38 special and can't fire 357 rounds. I would either contact them by phone and read that to them and ask them how in the hell did they fire 357's out of that 38 special. Then I'd seek out a gun smith and have it looked at. also I can't state it enough about the Galloway spring kits. there's a video on You Tube to walk you through it.

@@johnnyshootsalot Galloway has a good reputation, can you explain some of the problems I may encounter, if I do encounter problems?

[@johnnyshootsalot]

@@thebluesrockers it's not uncommon to create a problem with light primer strikes when you start installing aftermarket spring kits intended to lessen trigger pull. What they're doing is using a spring with less inherent tension to make the trigger easier to squeeze. In turn, that sometimes causes insufficient spring tension for the hammer to do it's job. I have installed a couple of Galloway kits in revolvers, but they were in guns I don't use for any defensive purposes. So, if it doesn't "go bang", worst case is I miss a big buck or something. No doubt, with my Taurus Model 44, that kit improved trigger feel. Bit I'm not Yosemite Sam and I don't carry that gun. I hunt with it.

In the old days of the wild west you probably only had let's say in a day fired your gun 24 times just an example at the end of the day before you go to sleep, you clean your gun and oiled it don't you that's taking care of your best friend who keeps you alive wright. 700 round's is excessive pressure to a gun it becomes very hot and dirty with carbon it gets everywhere your cylinder shaft will run dry and won't spin freely with carbon build up on it. 700 round's is excessive on firing pins and springs you will have problems. Normally your hand gun in its life in self defense had only say been fired three to six times probably or more in it's life and yes I know you fire more times than that in target practice but never 700 round's it's not a toy your life depends on it, he's your friend he keeps you alive wright so treat him as much with kindness.

[@meadcanfield1680]

Sell it to some one who think the want a gun but it will spend the next 30 years in a sock drawer

[@johnnyshootsalot]

Nah, I'm not that kinda guy.

[@meadcanfield1680]

@@johnnyshootsalot Yeah, I guess you are right, it would suck if it was really needed and it didn't work. New Idea, sell it to a gunsmithing student. My gunsmith love getting a hold of non working guns when he was a student.

Always check the timing before you go to the range or carry it. *Always*

I’m pretty sure your problem is with that incredibly limp wrist you have.

Is this the gay Taurus haters club?
