Taurus Shooting Experience
Well I took that .22 revolver to the range today accuracy not bad, not match grade but acceptable. Reliability fair it would light off CCI's Mini-mags and Stingers but not anything by PMC about 1in5 would not go bang of 3 diff. types.I did buy the gun knowing it had problems lighting off Win. .22's so I was not surprized when it had trouble with another brand. Well I'll carry Stingers in it most of the time anyway so it's not a problem to me.

RE: Taurus Shooting Experience
Try brownells or midwayusa to look for a main spring for that. was it new or used, if used then there might have been some previous owner tinkering to try and get a lighter trigger pull, or maybe justa worn out spring

Taurus has a Lifetime Warranty. Send it back to Taurus ,have them check it out and make the necessary repairs. Sounds like a weak mainspring or maybe the hammer is hanging up slightly not letting it fall at full force. If it was right it should fire all brands of 22's not just a select few.Ruger Redhawk

RE: Taurus Shooting Experience
I'll put a stronger after market spring in it. Taurus tends to have weaker springs, a buddy had to do the same with a .38 snubbie he bought new. And no the gun was NOT tinkered with by the previous owner becuase I was there at the shop when he traded in the gun and heard him describe the problem.
