Got a brand new bull and it misses cartriges. IT is not locking up all the time in SA. If you pull the hammer very strongly it seems to be ok. But if you pull it back trying to be quiet you have to spin it atiny bit befor the cylinder locks in WTF. Can anyone give me some suggestions or info

What a piece of junk. I realized the hamer is hitting the frame and it gets slowd down and don't hit the primer hard enough.And it also is out of time and not locking up. I called taurus and they are sending a courier to pick it up. They said it should be back in 2 weeks. You should see the grit and machine dust thats comeing out of the triger. This was my first revolver. What a let down. I hope they make good on it.

Most of us have several revolvers that we hunt with that probably include several brands. Among my revolvers, I have 2 Taurus revolvers that I hunt with and I have never had a problem with them. I have a .454 Bull that has been perfect since I purchased it used several years ago. I have a M44 that is probably my favorite double action .44mag revolver that I have ever shot.
Also, if I have the opportunity to buy a Raging Bull .44mag used that is in good condition at a good price....I will buy. I ain't sceered.

With the above said, Taurus doesn't have the reputation it has for no reason.

I would send it back.....dump it when it came back to me.

Big Tom, with the above post; I'd say your problem is solved.....

I have two .454 Raging Bulls, and another in .480 Ruger. All are dependable, well made and very accurate. I aint skeered either.

I would actually like a Tracker in .44 mag. I will keep an eye out for a good deal. I think that generally speaking, Taurus is hit or miss. That said, every company produces a lemon every now and again.

I had very bad customer service with tore-a$$, a gun replaced that was worse than the first and an attitude from them that it was mine now deal with it. Even the local taurus representive was imberased as to what the fools in Florida did to me. You could not pay me to own one now.

Taurus told me to be home from 12 till 5 for them to come get this thing. No one showd. I calld they told me sorry they forgot to schedule the pick up. I have to be home today from 12 till 5 to wait for them. The nightmare has officialy started. My company gets 100 an hour to do what we do. I am sending taurus a bill for 1000 plus tax to cover the time I have lost.
