Hey everyone, I think I have a problem with a new gun I just purchased, a Taurus .44 mag revolver.
Here is what went down at the range today: I figured I'd fire he new toy last, and put in four rounds, and fired them. Upon going to extract the brass, I noticed it was a bit tight. So tight in fact, that I had to hold the cylinder open, and tap on the extractor with an improvised hammer (my pocket knife wrapped in a cloth so as not to damage anything).
I have never owned, nor had really any experience with revolvers before, so is this normal? I understand that the fired brass can expand a little and get a bit tight, but these were flat out stuck in the cylinder.
It could be my ammo though, as it is somewhat old (at least 10-15 years, maybe more).
Any suggestions on what is going on?
