Been eagerly awaiting my PT-145's based on my mistaken belief that they'd ironed out all the problems. Yes, I did say mistaken. Mistaken because one of the two pistols I ordered was broken. How? The trigger bar that retracts the striker will not depress as it's intended to when the slide moves forward. This has eaten groves in the slide on the back side of the feeding surface. It also catches as you retract the slide preventing me from locking open the gun without pulling the trigger while I retract the slide. ARRRRgggggg.
The second flaw in the gun is the magazine which takes considerable force to withdraw from the mag well. The other gun's magazine went in and ejected just fine as did the spare magazine I had ordered at the same time. This seems to suggest that the magazine itself is considerably oversized. I'll call Taurus on Monday morning and see what they suggest. What I want and will ask for is a new slide, trigger bar, and magazine. We'll see what they say. Any suggestions from those who have dealt with Taurus before?
