Get a Dependable Firearm.

Every individual gun can have problems. Regardless of manufacturer or model I always run several hundred rounds through my guns before considering them reliable. If they have an FTE, FTF, etc the clock starts again. Even IF Taurus' did have a higher percentage of failures they still have some good ones, and other manufacturers still have bad ones. You have to test YOUR gun.
 
I have seen half a dozen of these in the last few years.

Any idea what caused this? No way a factory 38 special could have generated enough pressure to do this. Or is that a .357? Just curious. Since the cylinder is still intact, it couldn't have been the cartridge though. Had to either be a barrel obstruction or maybe someone broke it with a hammer or some other type of mechanical damage.
