My Taurus PT145 Mil Pro is JUNK!
I purchased a brand new PT14 Mil Pro (3rd generation; serial #NAU97xxx) on 7/28/08, and loved the size, shape, feel, accuracy, ammo capacity, etc.!
On 11/18/09 it was returned to Taurus, as 20% of the rounds Failed To Fire, using 3 magazines, and 3 brands of factory ammo. I had replaced the firing pin and firing pin spring assembly twice, before sending it to Taurus, but the problem continued. Taurus replaced the firing pin and firing pins spring assembly!!!
The second return was on 3/29/10, when the Failure to Fire rate was around 25%. Taurus replaced the "Firing Pin Block Pin".
The third return, on 4/13/10, was for Failure To Fire in 40 rounds (two brands of factory ammo); and seven Failure To Feeds (ammo did not move up inside two different magazines). Taurus "adjusted magazine body", and replaced the barrel with a used one, and returned it after it was passed by their "Review Board"! :banghead:
The fourth...YES, I SAID THE FOURTH...return was on 11/29/10, after twenty rounds were put through the PT145, two failed to fire, even after twelve (12) trigger pulls, and two others fired on the fourth (4th) trigger pull. Every primer was deeply dimpled, but the fired rounds each had a gouge from the dimple towards the primer's edge. Taurus returned my "weapon", with (UNKNOWN) "part damaged...replaced" on the invoice. A call to the service department confirmed that they did not know what part was replaced! A message left for a Taurus supervisor did not get a return call...
