Common Taurus Tracker 627 Problems and Solutions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I hope that you have got a rough idea about the problems and solutions of this revolver from Taurus. Now, let\u2019s talk about them in detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quick Overview of the Problems and Solutions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Problems<\/strong><\/td>Solutions<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
Jamming Problem<\/td>clean and lube the gun except for the cylinder, shoot 100\/150 rounds, try different ammo brand, or send it to Taurus for fixing.<\/td><\/tr>

Shell-seizing Problem<\/td>Clean the bore, try different ammo brands, check the cylinder’s smoothness, and clean any residue.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

1. Jamming<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

All units of Taurus Tracker 627 go through various quality control methods. Getting one out of the box, you won\u2019t find any visible flaws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But some units do not work so smoothly in their early days of shooting. You may face a jamming problem when trying to shoot in a single action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to jammed action, you won\u2019t be able to cock the hammer. Opening and closing the cylinder may solve the issue right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it doesn\u2019t fix it permanently. In some cases, I have seen certain 627 units working smoothly while dry firing; no problem in single and double action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After some time, the problem may also occur in double action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are looking for a reason for this problem, I will tell you that this particular jamming issue occurs due to ammunition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pro Tip<\/em><\/strong>: It is recommended not to force the trigger to rotate the cylinder in this jamming issue. Such actions can leave scars on the rachet of the cylinder.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

First of all, clean and lubricate the gun taking it right out of the box. But don\u2019t lube the cylinder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, shoot it 100 or 150 rounds to break it in. Some users mention that passing the break-in period solved all of their issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lastly, try different brands of ammunition. Any slight change in the dimension makes certain bullets not perform well in Tracker 627.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In some cases, the nature of the jamming problem is so severe that the gun needs to be sent to Taurus for fixing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

The best solution is to send the gun back to Taurus for fixing. I know that shipping and fixing in this way takes longer and costs more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But trying to fix manufacturing faults by yourself or hiring a gunsmith will cost even more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What you should do is talk with your gun dealer to request a replacement and let him take care of the warranty claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Shells Seizing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It has been reported that Norma .357 bullets get stuck in the cylinder of Tracker 627 after shooting a few rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even after using the extractor rod, you will face this issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides the ammo brand, residue buildup and rough cylinder inside can cause this problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Usually, all 627s do not have the same problem with Norma ammunition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, you can try cleaning the bore. Also, try other ammo brands such as PMC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lastly, disassemble the gun to inspect the cylinder’s smoothness. Furthermore, make sure that there is no residue left inside the gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes, new users forget to clean the packing grease put inside the cylinder before shipping. It causes the bullet shells to bind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

User Feedback on Taurus Tracker 627<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While gathering information about the Taurus Tracker 627 in various forums, one thing was very clear to me; Taurus is terrible at customer service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company takes several weeks to solve a simple problem, and it lacks a basic understanding of proper communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Taurus doesn\u2019t avail their guns\u2019 parts in the market, customers often don\u2019t have any option but to send their faulty guns to the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the problems described above, you can understand that the most common problem with a Tracker 627 is its cylinder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, it seems that the QC of Taurus is terrible because most of the issues could prevented before the delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, Taurus beats some of its competitors in price and quality. Tracker 627 costs less and lasts longer than Smith 686. The finishing quality is also better in 627.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its rear adjustable sight helps shoot accurately. The Tracker 627 revolver is a great range and home defense gun.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
