The table above shows a summarized version of the problems and solutions. Here, I have discussed them in detail. Let\u2019s get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Cylinder Issue<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Among a few problems with Taurus Judge Polymer revolver, the most common one is the cylinder issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if the cylinder is in a locked position, you may notice that it rotates slightly in either direction. Most importantly, it can happen while the gun is loaded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the possible reasons is roughly handling the gun or accidentally dropping it on hard surfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among other reasons, weak locking springs, improper locking bolt size, and rounded locking bolts failing to keep the cylinder in place are significant ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The result of the cylinder problem can end up costing its accuracy of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another kind of cylinder issue occurs in the Judge Polymer where it gets stuck. It doesn\u2019t release and swings out even though the hammer and trigger work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reason can either be a faulty front detent ball or a dirt build-up under the extractor. Also, a loose or bent extractor rod can bind the cylinder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

For the solution, you first have to take off the cylinder and do a thorough inspection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have mentioned a few possible reasons. You should check them one by one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the spring is weak, replacing it will solve the issue. Here is a YouTube video<\/strong><\/a> that shows how you can do the replacement easily at your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, check the size of the locking bolt and its edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To ensure a proper bolt size, one may have to take the revolver to an expert in case he\/she doesn\u2019t have the necessary skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, the rounded edge of the bolt needs to be addressed and sharpened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Failing to fix the problem after all those methods will only leave one option which is to send the gun to Taurus and get it fixed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lastly, regarding the cylinder stuck problem, you can send it to Taurus for a permanent fix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or, check out the front detent ball. If that item is dry, lubricating it properly will probably solve the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here, you can push the front detent using a small screwdriver. Those who don\u2019t have the necessary tools should take the gun to a gunsmith for the task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, check for any kind of debris under the extractor or irregularities in the extractor rod. Finding any, you should take action accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For debris, clean properly. And for bent rod, replace it with a new one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Jamming<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In this particular Taurus Judge jamming issue, I want to warn you about a particular brand of ammunition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lots of people complained that their revolver jammed while using Winchester .45 Colt Long bullets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It seems that Judge Polymer is picky about the ammo. You should know that it happens in the newly manufactured units; not the old ones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Here, you have already guessed what the solution is. Change the ammo brand, and you will be okay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ruger revolvers of a similar kind don\u2019t have this issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Ejection Problem<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For newly purchased Judge revolvers, you may notice that the used shells are getting stuck in the cylinder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One possible reason is packing grease inside the cylinder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manufacturers put grease before shipping to prevent rust. So, it is not the fault of Taurus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or, sometimes, some bullets have slightly larger shells than others. It is an anomaly. So, there is no pattern and you should not blame a particular brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

After taking your gun out of the box, it is a mandatory task to clean it thoroughly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make sure that no packing grease is left in the cylinder. Clean it, and don\u2019t use oil in the cylinder as it binds the used shells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

User Feedback on Taurus Judge Polymer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

No product has 100% positive feedback and Taurus Judge Polymer is not different than others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, I have seen some angry negative reviews of the handgun. Also, the problems show that Judge Polymer is not perfect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, it can be a great addition to your home defense system because most units are reliable and accurate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The double action trigger requires some effort to pull but it is relatively smoother than competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For small distance shooting, you can expect great accuracy from the firearm. And, most defensive situations happen within 4 yards or so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to metal parts, the handgun feels slightly heavier and bulkier than it should be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the weight is no more than a service gun that lots of people carry every day.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
