[Inspector 71]

I have a Taurus judge 3" magnum revolver and twice I have had issues with it.

It seems like it gums up after shooting over 30 rounds in it at a time.

I think it overheats because I don't have trouble pulling the hammer back after a while. I found some brass fragments embedded in the outside of some brass casings. They look like tiny circular discs probably from staying in there when the newer cartridge is fired and is pancaked between the cylinder and the casing.

I was shooting Federal 45 Colt through it.

Any ideas on what would cause this?

south american "engineering"? my two friends who have them (one is the public defender model) haven't had any issues, but then again they shoot primarily .410 loads. do you have similar trouble with shotgun shells or only brass cartridges?

Any holes in the primers of the fired brass?
