How many rounds before your OEM cylinder pin went south on you?

Probably a hundred rounds. It started to get harder to pull out and had to tap it out with a small wood dowel to get it to move.
Don't know what the cause was and only shoot standard pressure Colt 45 loads thru it.

Great work. I think that I would let Taylors know that they are selling a revolver with a substandard cylinder pin.

Thanks.

I just picked up a Pietta revolver chambered in .357 Magnum and a Uberti revolver chambered in .38 Special. I'll have to keep a close watch on them.

Now I have a Uberti built Cimarron .357 SA revolver I bought thru Evil Roy's shop which is built to his requirements. It is the old black powder styled frame with screw lock pin and have had no issues with that at all.
