I own a Taurus PT92 (stainless model). The pistol has about 400 rounds through it, and is less than 1yr old. I am actually having two seperate problems with it.
1: After firing a round, the gun cycles the spent cartridge and loads a hot round most of the time just fine. The problem is that after cycling the hammer follows the slide to an uncocked position. This happens 50% of the time. I have used both mags, and the problem persists. I am no gunsmith, but I think it is a sear spring problem.
2: Using 115 & 124 grain ammo, which is what the pistol is designed to shoot, I have had several stovepipes and jamms.
I understand that all machines have their problems, and this pistol is just that; a machine. However, it is very frustrating to have these problems with a new pistol that dawns rave reviews everywhere I look. Is this a common problem? Any advice or attention is appreciated.
