My Tauri work well. I recently sent my 24/7 Pro DS Gen 1 in for service, and Taurus opted to replace it for free with a Gen 2. They said it was "unrepairable." I do not know if it was in the list of problem guns. It was manufactured in 2000. I bought it of another INGOer and ut about 1,000 rounds though it without problem. It would not fire with the safety engaged, but I never dropped it so I can't comment on that design flaw. I am wondering if this is the reason Taurus recently cut their prices on many of it most popular models.
What I have works fine. I will stand pat with them for the moment, but in the future I will look more closely at Springfield and Ruger.
If you put 1k rounds through it without problem, why did you send it in for service?
I don't know what their revenue is like, but I sincerely hope this is a somewhat significant amount of money for them. Maybe they'll consider some R&D, and stop making complete piles of
Also, IB the Taurus apologists/the "I got a good one" crowd.
The list:
"The settlement agreement covers nine Taurus models, including the PT-111 Millennium; PT-132 Millennium; PT-138 Millennium; PT-140 Millennium; PT-145 Millennium; PT-745 Millennium; PT-609; PT-640 and PT-24/7, Taurus says."
I have a G1 stainless PT 24/7 PRO 9mm (not sure if it includes PRO). I haven't run into a problem. This might be due to A.) I haven't dropped any firearm. B.) I don't use the safety (but just tested it and it worked).
I'll have to contact Taurus and see what they say and report back.
Appreciate the posting.
Same here.I'll just keep mine. Shoots too well to trade it in for $200 or less.
