Re: Taurus 85 Ultralite 38 Special (with special problems)

That's good to hear the problem is resolved, too bad it took so long though.

But it's fixed!

Re: Taurus 85 Ultralite 38 Special (with special problems)

Mornin' BlueDot 40,

Sorry to hear of the trouble with the Taurus. I'm no gunsmith so I'll not guess as to what's wrong, but what happened to your wife's 85 isn't right and doesn't sound safe. Good move by sending it back.

I've never had to use Taurus' warranty service before, the model 65 and 85 revolver I have of there's have been 100%, along with every other Taurus that my friends have. Make sure you take this with a grain of salt... I've heard some people complain of Taurus' warranty repair return times taking up to 4-6 weeks. With that said, this is all coming from the internet, so you never know what to believe.

One thing I've learned though is that phone calls are your friend. Make sure to keep in contact with Taurus when you send it in, while it's being worked on, and after the revolver is returned to you. Polite, inquisitive phone calls got me a long ways with my warranty repair through S&W.

Hope all goes well, please keep us updated on how Taurus handles this repair.
