As I recall, the 'Z' in the second position means it's a 3rd Gen gun. Of course a call to Taurus will give you the month (and perhaps day) of manufacture.
My friend has a PT-145 and learned at least one important lesson. DO NOT USE +P AMMO. His crammed the spring right through the front slide hole after he did that.
What was the outcome? Did Taurus fix it? How long did it take?
I wasn't using +P and had the same problem. See my post immediately above yours.
