.357
Here is the POS without the grips and side plate. The long spring in the handle is listed as the main spring. The spring ends in a bushing. On some models, but not mine, this part is listed as an adjustable bushing. I'm not the most mechanically inclined person but I don't see any way to adjust the tension on this spring.

Yeah, the pin inside the spring does not have threads and the bushing is not adjustable.
The ammo I shot was Remington and PMC. The rounds that misfired had smaller indentations than the rounds that fired.
The surprising thing to me is that the revolver still has a long, heavy trigger pull. It feels like there should be plenty of force. The spring is under a lot of pressure.
It has been a while since I shot but I almost always use double action.
I would recommend trading it in on something you actually want since you refer to it as the POS anyway.
So long as it cycles OK and isn't too beat up I bet you can get a good value for it. No buyer will be able to tell the firing pin isn't working perfectly without actually shooting it.
I would never sell a bunk piece of equipment to someone I knew, even if I didn't like them.
That is one reason I am apprehensive about purchasing things at Gunshows, I imagine that there are lots of folks like me with a POS gun they are looking to liquidate.
I was going to wait a couple of weeks before I tried to sell it on the bactexas website. I figured you suckas would forget by then.
Seriously. I bought the POS at a gunshow in Bryan years ago. I discovered it didn't work after shooting it a few times. The original problem was fixed under the Taurus lifetime warranty. Now it has a new problem. I will try to get it fixed under warranty and then sell it at another gun show. Maybe Chris can negotiate a price for me.
