Interesting failure mode on Taurus 5 shot revolver

[keepcalmandcarryon]

With only 2 rounds loaded fails to fire pretty consistently.

I've owned several taurus revolvers and have been using a 605 for my edc for last several years. I shoot it all the time 1 round through fully loaded 5 rounds and I've never had the first issue like in that vid. I think taurus like all the other companies though there is a dud that makes it out to the world on occasion. When I've had revolvers that acted like the 605 in vid it is always a bad hand not functioning or some other timing issue.

I had one of those - 605 stainless - and it hung up on 2 of the five cylinders on a regular basis. It also didn't want to open when either of those chambers was aligned with the bbl.

EDIT: I should clarify that I've had another Taurus 5-shot .357 that operated flawlessly for years. So that problem was a one-off gun for me. I do not hate Taurus.
