Solid reamers get smaller as they are used!Worn out reamers would be my guess? Looks like poor quality control.

That was my thinking.....maby they were using worn out 45 reamers?Solid reamers get smaller as they are used!
That or the company that made the reamer had a bad MondayThat was my thinking.....maby they were using worn out 45 reamers?
Congrats on an awesome looking gun!
Personally, I would write down your issues and send it too Taurus and let them figure out what is wrong with the gun and save the hassle. Why bother when they will go they it with a fine tooth comb for free.
That's just me though.
There are people that like to investigate problems and don't find it to be a bother, and actually enjoy knowing how.
That is just me though.
As long as it doesn't void your warranty........I fix problems every day, for work and in my personal life.
If you have the time and want to fix something with a lifetime Warrenty then good for you - pat yourself on the back.
So, why not buy an original and skip the risk? To me, saving a few dollars is not worth the risk of owning a sub standard tool.I have one of their earlier nickel-plated revolvers in .32 S&W Long. While it has a heavy trigger pull, the little handgun is something special. (It was made on the old S&W machinery that had been shipped to Brazil during the 1970's).
The accuracy is outstanding (this is typical of the .32 Long). Look up the old Taurus Model 74 and 72 revolvers. You'd be surprised by the service that these handguns provide.
The earlier Taurus handguns seemed to be much better, with fewer problems.
I wish you the best.
I have an old 32 S&W top break S&W that is 120 years old. The top break action is inherently weaker than a solid frame design, we have shot it a fair amount. The caliber is so anemic that it hasn't created any noticeable wear on the old girl, I can't imagine a solid frame revolver having any trouble with wear issues. The most common thing to go bad with them are springs and sears that wear or brake. Not a difficult or value reducing repair.The I-frame .32 S&W Long/.38 S&W revolvers are becoming more difficult to find with each passing year. I have a 1903 in .32 S&W Long as well. The Taurus is stronger (in better repair) and will withstand longer sustained shooting sessions.
I don't want to abuse the older S&W.
I have a Taurus stainless model 741 in .32 H&R magnum, 3" barrel. Will also shoot the .32 long. Shoots very well and is well made. I use it sometimes for concealed carry. About the same power as a .380, but better penetration. They do make some ammo that puts it well into the .38 special power range. This is the first time that I have heard anything bad about Taurus revolvers.I have one of their earlier nickel-plated revolvers in .32 S&W Long.

I take that back. I just checked again and my "firearm is under review."
