PT-22 has a nylon buffer pad in it. This is a one dollar part, that is not covered under warranty. Mine fell apart after cleaning one day. I called Taurus and ordered ten of them, at a dollar each, because shipping was over five bucks.
My credit card was charged upon placing the order.
After a month, I called, and was informed they were waiting for a shipment to come in.
After two months, I was told that they were still waiting.
After five months I was told that they had indeed received my buffers, but were
too busy doing an inventory to send me my product.
Six months later I received my buffers. My pistol sat, unfired, in a safe for six months because of a one dollar part.
This was about seven years ago.
About two years ago; The recoil lever on the left side of the pistol broke. I dreaded calling customer service again. This time a helpful young lady answered. I expected to be told that I would have to send in the pistol for repairs, since it involved dis-assembly. Nope. The young lady apologized for any inconvenience, and promised that I would have a new part in my mailbox within a week. It arrived two days after I hung up the phone.
Perhaps they have changed. I'm still not buying anything with their name on it.
By the way. That PT-22 is a great shooter. More accurate than it should be. Rarely ever has a feed or ejection problem.
) been accurate and reliable, even though I can't afford to feed it enough to really know for certain.
