I have had a model 85 stainless for several years. However, this past weekend, after only firing five shots at the range, I tried to use the cylinder latch but it would not budge. It is completely stuck! It is in the normal position, but can not move forward no matter how hard I push. I have never had this problem prior. As you can imagine, the spent shells are still inside the cylinder and cannot be removed. Any suggestions would be appreciated to fix this one. The cylinder does rotate upon trigger pull correctly, I just cannot eject it (due to the cylinder latch not moving).
I did post this same message on a taurus board - -they are all very helpful -- especially the suggestion stating that the ejector rod may of backed out a tad (come unscrewed) and cause the issue. However, I do not think that is my problem at this time. I tried to tighten it with no success.
