I bought a Taurus PT145 years ago as a concealled carry 45 instead of my full size Charles Daly 1911 Empire EFS.
Since I traded my Charles Daly for my new Kimber SIS 5" I haven't carried or shot the Taurus for a while. It was good to me when I did carry it so I felt it derserved a range trip. So I pack my PT145 along with my Kimber and my Judge and I was off to the range. I have a different post today about the Judge: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?p=5847696#post5847696
Anyways, today I fired two full mags with it (20 rounds total) then I reloaded the mags and went to shoot the next full mag. I hand cycled the first round, lined up by sites, pulled the trigger, and the gun went FULL AUTO!
My response was "what the F _ _ _?!?!
Also it did not lock open after the insanity.
To make sure I was not hallucinating I loaded the next mag and nerviously hand cycled and shot again; and AGAIN it went through all 10.
What the H _ L L is going on?
Is this possible?
I put the gun away and finished the day with my Kimber, needless to say it worked flawlessly.
I got home and the Taurus would not field strip. I tried, I cursed, and punched the table, and nothing.
It won't come apart.
I am simply confused.
P.S. My accuracy with a full auto 3" 45 is horrible, really very horrible
