I just got a Taurus 85, bought from Gunbuyer. Never owned a Taurus before, and this is a big disappointment to me. Haven't yet shot it, but it is by FAR the stiffest gun I've ever handled. It's the stainless version and the cylinder release, the extractor rod, the hammer are all unbelievably gritty and tough. Surprisingly the trigger is the LEAST objectionable part. I've cleaned it, oiled it and put it thru dozens, maybe hundreds of dry fire cycles. Zero improvement. Even swinging the cylinder out from the frame is a chore. And once out the cylinder doesn't spin at all. This just seems wrong on a brand new gun. I recently got a S&W Shield 9mm and altho rough at first a cleaning and oiling took care of it immediately. Did I just get a bad Taurus? I've read good things about the revolver.
