Hoping someone can help. I recently purchased a 454 RB and took it to the gun range this past weekend and had some issues with it. I put about 15 rds of Hornady 300gr JHP through it and then it stopped cycling the cylinder in SA and DA both. Has anyone had this same experience?

Also, I need to know if I can shoot the pistol off a sandbag with the barrel resting on the bag? Anyones help would be greatly appreciated.

It is a Taurus after all.

I shoot from bags all the time. When you nest the gun make sure you have it in as deep as it will go, right up to the trigger guard, so you get some weight on the frame. A piece of leather on the bag will help to keep it from burning up ;-)


Rod, too.

Short cuts often lead to long recoveries.

I have seen a Taurus straight out of the box, lock up on the first cylinder of firing. Yikes, I am glad it wasn't my gun.
