CLOSELY check cylinder alignment and lock-up. Only Taurus I ever had, had massive cylinder lockup issues. A model 94, 9-shot .22. So different product line. But still... I'd much rather save the extra $50 necessary to step up to a Ruger.
Check each cylinder with hammer back, for rotational play. If you can break the cylinder loose with the cylinder bolt engaged into any of the 6 notches of the cylinder, abort.
Also, use a pencil or something appropriate sized to check bore-to-chamber alignment, for all 6 chambers. A 5/16 wooden dowel would work, at 0.3125 inches diameter. 11/32 would be better, at 0.34 inches, if you can find one.
