This ~30 year old Taurus revolver was having some trouble with the cylinder stop not actuating. I took it apart to correct the problem expecting to find a copy of Smith & Wesson design features inside of it, since over the years many have claimed these to basically be a knockoff.

To my surprise, it’s actually not at all like a S&W J frame, and has distinct differences. Some of the design features are pretty clever in my opinion, so I do some explanation and commentary on how it’s actually working before showing reassembly.
