    It's almost like timing, degrees and minutes of angle are important. Dang, I guess we really WILL use high school math after all...

    Exactly. The diameter and pitch of the pattern to receive the cartridges is critical.....in addition to the timing.

    Who wants to attempt to fire a revolver with the cylinder out of time....dang, talk about shaving lead ( if you get off that lucky).
    There are 3 loves in my life: my wife, my English mastiffs, and my weightlifting....Man, my wife gets really pissed when I get the 3 confused...

    After I bring the gun home and remove the cylinder, I'll see if it's possible to adjust the degrees by which the trigger rotates the cylinder.

    Of course if I ever did put a custom-made cylinder in it, I'd test it without ammo a thousand times, and then I'd test it with blanks a thousand times, before trying a real round.

    The engraving along the side of the barrel is horrible, it says TRACKER in big capital letters. I wonder if there's any way I could have the engraving filled in.

    I see that someone has made a picatinny rail to fit the Taurus Tracker so I might get it and stick a green laser on it.

    Also there's a deer stalking course next month so I might do it. Stalking deer with a revolver with a green laser would be enjoyable.
