I recently sold a Taurus revolver, and the buyer brought it back saying someone told him it had a broken firing pin spring. This model has the floating frame-mounted firing pin, and it is "loose". Basically, it rattles back and forth a bit when you shake it. It will protrude maybe 1/16" sometimes from the frame. He claims the spring should keep the pin taught and it shouldn't rattle. I haven't shot it in about 3 or 4 months, but the gun has always shot fine for me. I gave him his money back since I kinda had seller's remorse anyway for selling it. I'm not worried since Taurus will fix it for free if it is broken.
Personally, I'm thinking this guy is a little nutty based on other things he's told me, but I'm wondering. Aren't these floating firing pins supposed to do that? Haven't had a chance to take it to the range yet, just wanted some opinions here. Thanks!
