Keep us updated...I'm curious as to their turnaround time before I decide to dive into the Taurus pool (again).Originally Posted by BN
My 856 Ultra-Lite came yesterday. It's broke.The cylinder binds on a couple of chambers. It's now headed back to Taurus for repair and they are paying for shipping.
They said to allow up to 4 weeks for repair. I think the ejector star has a bad spot that didn't allow the hand to move the cylinder enough. I checked barrel/cylinder gap and headspace and they were within limits. No end shake. I'm anxious to get it back to see how it does.
The place I got my Ultra-Lite had 11 when I ordered a few days ago and now they only have 5. Are you guys snapping them up? )
About a year or so, I bought a G3 (I have no idea why), and it wouldn't feed @ 30% of the rounds (FMJ or JHP) from any of the four magazines I had for it (feedramp issue). At the time, word on the Taurus forum was that turnaround was @ 6 months. I sold it for a loss, disclosing the issue to the buyer.
I've been eyeing the 85/856/605 models, but hesitant due to the bad taste of the G3. I've had mid 80's - early 90's 66/669/85's in the past and they were flawless performing tack drivers.
Having fitted a few binding ratchet teeth on my M&P 340, I would view that as an opportunity to get it right myself, rather than letting them f it up again.My 856 Ultra-Lite came yesterday. It's broke.

Not another dime.
I decided that since they are paying for shipping, I would give them one chance to fix it.
Here are pictures of the black Ultra-Lite that doesn't work, compared to my "stainless" that has about 750 rounds through it. Cell phone pics.
Old and new.
Picking up a 3-inch model today or tomorrow.
Now to find a holster.
Will it fit in any K frame holsters?
In a nutshell, no.
It's been discussed within this thread.
An SP101 holster is loose.
J Frame's are too tight.
A Colt D frame holster is said to work, but I cannot confirm
