What's the fix for that? Do you need to grind the barrel into two pieces to get the gun apart in order to fix that problem? That is the "fix" for a broken locking block, where it freezes up the slide. Oh, you could keep working that slide until you force it open - then you can replace your soft alloy frame after you've damaged it.

Guns break, parts break, I get it. But, where certain parts are known to fail routinely that can require that the barrel be cut in half as part of the "fix"..........that's just a poor design. This is why Beretta redesigned the locking block! They addressed a bad design flaw in their 92 series guns. However, to my knowledge, Taurus hasn't.
