I posted this once before, but it disappeared from the forum for some reason. If there is a double post, or if I violated a forum rule, clue me in.
I took a TCP to Freedom Firearms indoor range on Monday. I just received it back from Taurus for warranty service. Taurus diagnosed two problems. First, Taurus stated the “Extractor calibration under [was] specs.” Second, the “barrel ramp has incorrect angle.” Both of these would cause a “misfeed.” Taurus “adjusted” the two items and sent the TCP back. I put 80 rounds of Remington UMC 95gr. MC L380P ammo through it. Here are the details. Sorry about the poor colonization. The table would not transfer from my word processor software.
Mag # Round Count Result
1 6 Round #4 failed to feed properly. Fed properly when I racked the slide.
2 12 Perfect
3 18 Perfect
4 24 Perfect
5 30 Perfect
6 36 Perfect
7 42 Perfect
8 48 Perfect
9 54 Rounds #3 & 4 failed to feed; fed and fired properly when I racked the slide.
10 60 Round #3 failed to feed, but fed and fired properly when I worked the slide.
11 66 Rounds #3 & 4 failed to feed; fed and fired properly when I worked the slide.
12 72 Perfect
13 76 Rounds #3 & 4 failed to feed; fed and fired properly when I worked the slide.
14 80 Round #3 failed to feed, but fed and fired properly when I worked the slide.
FYI, these are six-round mags.
So, what do I do next? Send it back to Taurus? Put another 100 rounds through it for "break in"? The purpose of the weapon is to serve as a BUG while carrying a 1911 or XD .40, or as a primary while running to maintain fitness.
I would really appreciate the advice of the gunsmith experts on about the next step. Thanks in advance.
