Common Taurus 856 Ultra Lite Problems and Solutions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let me elaborate on the points that are shown in the tables above. The detailed solutions will help you operate the gun smoothly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Trigger Problem<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Among all, having trigger issues is the most common in Taurus 856 Ultra Lite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The double-action trigger pulling weight is more than it should be. That is why users don\u2019t feel comfortable shooting the revolver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are facing this problem, you will notice that the hammer is not operating as smoothly as it should be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upon inspecting the gun, one local gunsmith asked for $150 to change the spring that is possibly causing the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The repair cost varies based on where you live. But it is not practical to spend almost half of what the gun costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Fix<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In this particular case, the gun had a huge amount of oil inside the cylinder. The manufacturer does it intentionally to prevent rust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All you have to do is clean the gun taking it out of the box thoroughly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, some units have genuine trigger problems due to faulty internal components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your gun is still under warranty, the best thing will be to send it to Taurus for the fix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Cylinder Spinning Freely<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I pray that you don\u2019t have to face this problem. But let me draw a clear picture of the nature of this issue problem so that you can handle it smartly.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After buying a brand new 856 Ultra Lite, try dry-firing the gun in double action. Then, switch back to single action mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suddenly, the cylinder will spin freely as if there were no stop if the unit is faulty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inspecting the parts, you may notice that the cylinder stop on the frame is not in the up position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Fix<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Before sending the malfunctioning gun to Taurus, you may try some DIY fixe. But do it at your own risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
