This may be totally unrelated to the problem, but reading about this particular model, there is an issue with the firing pin spring. They tend to break. This will cause the firing pin to not retract all the way back into the frame, after firing a round. Found this out with a 605 I recently came into posession of. With the pin protruding, I could not rotate the cylinder. And with a fresh load of rounds, the cylinder would not swing back into the frame. If I just tilted the gun back, the pin would fall back into the frame, and the cylinder would seat into the frame. Called Taurus for replacement parts, figuring it would be easier to fix myself, than shipping to them. They said the parts were cheaper than the postage, so are sending them free.
( I asked for a new firing pin & 2 springs, just in case ).
