I bought a brand new Taurus PT738 on Saturday in preparation for my upcoming CCW course. I got to the range, loaded up some ammo and *click.* Eject the round, try another. Same thing. Try different ammo; same thing. I try again a few times and it finally fires. Fires again, fires again. And back to the clicking. Awesome, I got a lemon, I'm going to return it today.
I have another Taurus (PT945) my dad gave me that worked flawlessly for 8 years when he owned it. As soon as I get it, one of the trigger springs breaks, needs to be replaced. Replace it, it breaks again. Replace it, now it won't stay put. Won't fire more than once before the trigger won't engage.
Another pistol I own, a CZ-52, keeps getting the hold open latch stuck underneath the follower for the magazine. It also occasionally fails to return to battery. It's easy to fix, sure, but it's still irritating.
This just seems to be a problem I have with semi-autos. The only semi auto I have that works flawlessly is a S&W 439. Anyone else have similar woes when it comes to semi autos or should I just stick with revolvers?
