When deciding on a carry gun, I decided on a Ruger LCP, because in my job I have to dress a certain way, and pocket carry was my only real option. So, small, easily concealable, and above all *reliable* was in order, and I knew that I could get all of that with the Ruger. I know for a fact that it is drop safe, having slung it across a hotel room while trying out a poorly fitting holster (the holster went back).
When it comes to firearms its never worth it to economize.
I had a Taurus Tracker 44 revolver before that canoe trip.
Apparently that is not one of the models in question here, so the river bed and sea life should be safe.
Crap, I have P-140...
I have not had a problem...but will definitely file a claim..
Kahr PM9 with CTC Laser,
I don’t mean to rub it in, but (phew!), all I have from Taurus are a SandW Centennial revolver derivative (850CIA), and a Model 82 service revolver.
I had PT-111 Millennium. When I’d grip the handle, my first ever sou!d sweep the mag release button, and the magazine would!d fall out. Happened with someone e!we shooting it, too.
Got rid of it.
Someone else here on FR had the same e problem with theirs, too.
I hate auto correct ..that was supposed to be finger would sweep, not what the auto correct typed.
OMG.....I know nothing about the Taurus but how is this possible?
Is this like Sudden Acceleration Syndrome? /s
Misfire?
It really wasn’t a fatal “misfire”, was it? It was more of an “accidental discharge”.
You get what you pay for.
For everyone interested:
I read this thread and sent my PT 111 Millennium G1 Stainless back to Taurus. They received it on 9/17/2015 and about 2 months later their online system said “repairs complete”. I expected it returned soon. After about another month, I ‘chatted’ to them and asked what’s up? They said warranty department had decided to replace it with a PT 111 G2. Every month I checked back, 4-6 months because of back order. They wouldn’t tell me when, confirm to me if they were going to tell me it shipped, nothing but that they had my FFL preference on file.
6 Months to the day after they acknowledged receipt of it, I got a call from the FFL asking if I’d had a gun sent into them for repair.
I picked it up and long story short, I really like this pistol much better than that piece of crap I bought back in 1999. SA/DA vs the SA. Trigger lever lock and safety lock. Has the TSS key that locks it. Adjustable rear sight. Good feel, nice grip surface pattern on the handgrip, and an overall nice gun.
I’m happy, but their service is for sh!t. I hope nothing ever goes wrong with this one.
