Poll: Common Problems - Taurus

[September11]

I would like to take a poll of common issues that arise with specific pistols by manufacturer. This is not intended as a bash session. I only want to know what I might expect from the purchase of one of these guns. I am interested in any issues that might have happened since you purchased this weapon. If you have only put a few rounds in or have only experienced the problem once, I would suggest not listing it as a real problem. I am hoping for feedback from a number of people who have put hundreds/thousands of rounds over a long period of time. Also, if you purchased the gun used and or tampered with, please refrain from submitting a vote.

Please check off the areas you have experienced trouble with your pistol

I'm going to vote for "failure to fire/other" in your poll based on my experience with a PT111 I had a while back. It broke shortly after I bought it to the point it wouldn't fire. I should note, however, that Taurus took the gun back and fixed it promptly. Only problem was that I had lost confidence in the weapon so I traded it away.

Yes, this problem only happened to me once but it was serious enough to be counted in your poll IMO. If it had happened at a time when I -needed- the weapon to work I might not be here to tell you about it.

I should also note that I have a (old model) 66 revolver and a pre-decock PT92 that have been flawless since day 1.
