Hey guys. Im relatively new to revolvers. My first was a Taurus 608 with the rarer 3 inch barrel. 8 shot. It started missing in double action surprisingly REALLY quickly after purchasing. I dumped the thing. ONly S&Ws now.
Anyhow, Ive always wondered how to check "timing", and what it was, ever since watching "The good, the Bad, and the Ugly", when Tuco went Gun shopping. Any help appreciated.
