Im hoping to avoid sending it to taurus

Sorry to say I'm not sure what your are referring to when you say center pin.

I can say that my wife's 605 would jam up every now and then because the cylinder release lever screw would come loose. A little loctite on the screw and the problem was solved. The revolver has been 100% since.

Marked for posterity as I carry one of these frequently.

Mine has only about 75 rounds throught it though and no issues as of yet.

Awaiting outcome from OP.

The cylinder pin is the pin in the center cylinder that pushes a little button when you close the cylinder
sometimes the pin doesnt pop out and when that happens the gun jams up

heres a diagram key number 4

Thinkng it is like a S&W or Ruger inside, the pin is pushed rearward by a spring inside the crane center tube that the cylinder spins on. Is the spring weak, or possibly mis-installed so it binds? Not much clearance for the moving parts in this area so everything has to fit just right. Also be sure the ejector rod is not bent...even a slight amount will cause this probelm.
Too bad you are not closer...

imo a revolver that isnt reliable has got to go.

Are you sure that it is the pin that is hanging up? The actual lock that prevents the trigger/hammer from operating is the cylinder release mechanism. When the pin snaps into the frame (providing that it is not hanging up), it presses the cylinder release rearward and unlocks the hammer/trigger. You can operate the gun with the cylinder open if you hold the cylinder release back against it's spring. The center pin has a very strong spring, but if something were burred or binding under the cylinder release knob, it might cause that problem. Have you removed the cylinder release knob? Is it free and smooth when it operates.

Just grasping for ideas here.

Yeah its actually that pin because most of the time it happens its still stuck in
I took it all apart and there doesnt apear to be any burs on the pin and the spring doesnt apear to have any problems
could be weak I suppose

Im leaning towards it being a weak spring as you suggested
nothing mis-installed
I will take a look at the ejector rod and see if its bent at all I hadnt noticed it when I had it apart

nah just has to be made reliable
I wont trust my life to it till I can put 300 rnds through without failure
besides what could I get for a unreliable revolver
theses things aren't exactly pricey

[sorensen440]

You shouldn't be surprised you are having trouble with it. It's a Taurus the english translationn is JUNK. There are way too many threads on here telling people what a load of crap Taurus is.

Sorry to be so blunt but dems de facts.

Im not surprised
also I have had trouble and seen trouble with glocks,springfields,remingtons, and many others
this is by no means a impossible repair and its a great gun other then that
I was just hoping to find somone that had this problem and new what the fix was
(sounds like its not too common a problem)

Exactly! My experience too! Just about everything neeeds a little tinkering.
