I have a close Nam Brother that is dating a lady, contacted me..She wanted to get comfortable with a Taurus 357, she was given. I suggested picking up some 38 special rounds to get familiar with the wheel gun..When I got there I made sure the weapon was unloaded. I then started to get her familiar with proper grip, safety , and proper shooting basics. After about 10 rounds of less than rewarding skills. I shot the weapon and found a serious problem. Their was a crack in the main frame in front of the cylinder between the hammer..I can't believe I did this, I did not notice because I was not wearing my glasses. I learned yet another valuable lesson, and I am a firearms instructor...Inspect a weapon for more than just being loaded, or not..I will thanks to the Lord, never make that mistake again...
