I re-read my PT111 9mm Pro Instructions again. The instructions do state that the pistol could accidentally fire if dropped on a hard surface hip high or the trigger could be pulled with one in the chamber, if not correctly holstered and the manual safety off. That is why I liked this pistol. Once racking the slide, loading the chamber, the pistol goes straight to single action. The only thing stopping trigger pull is the manual safety. But, if there is a fail to fire the pistol trigger can be pulled again and again to fire a hard primer. I plan to keep mine, if there is no fix for it. I will keep it as is.
I have a G2C and so far the safety is working fine. That being said, I'm not worried about either the trigger safety or slide safety not working because I don't keep a round in the chamber since it serves as just my nightstand gun and I have interior bedroom locks and a loud dog. So plenty of time to rack the slide. That being said, I haven't heard of anyone having problems with the safety on their G2C pistols. Most dealers seem to have much fewer returns on these pistols then on other much more expensive brands. Mine works great after several hundreds rounds through it. Plus it's so far eaten every type of ammo I've fed it including cheap jagged-edged hollow-points. So I'm quite happy with mine.
I own three Taurus handguns. The G2 PT-111, the PT-1911 and the Taurus 85 Poly 38+P. I have fired all three many times and have not had any problems. As far as accuracy goes, the PT-1911 is the best of the group. At 15 yards the PT-1911 will rip one single hole in a silhouette target. The only modification I made to it was a Wilson plastic recoil buffer. These reduce recoil considerably.
I own a Taurus PT111 G2 and the last batch of the PT145 Duo-tone. I like Taurus Pistols and I am keeping my PT145. I have been carrying for 33 years and may have dropped my gun once. Be Responsible and watch what the hell you are doing.
poor sap was probably forced to do this damn video, he looks like he's being held against his will and being forced to record a propaganda video from the Vietnam era. My lord Taurus, you didn't instill anymore confidence with this video.
sureshot jay You noticed that too, huh? It look like someone from Taurus is standing just off screen, pointing one of their crappy and highly unsafe pistols at him! He looks afraid and constipated. But on a serious note, I used to think Taurus firearms were a good value for someone who needed a gun because they had a limited budget. Save up and get something else. What good is an inexpensive firearm that’s unsafe and may kill you? Taurus pistols are a step above those old Jennings and Raven pistols, but just barely. Taurus products aren’t made out of pot metal. They’ve still got some serious design flaws though. I wouldn’t carry one.
I still feel that I can trust Taurus firearms... I've owned many of them over the years, with great results.. Passing the test of time, time, and time, again...
mattmorrow7777 You lost ALL credibility when you said Taurus Judge. Lol. I’m messing with ya. But for real, 410 handgun shot shells aren’t accurate and there are much better cartridges than .45 long colt. The gun has such a low capacity compared to how heavy and large it is. I guess it’s better than a pointy stick and harsh words. Most of the Judges I’ve seen had some sort of cylinder timing issues. How’s yours holding up? How often do you shoot it? Does your weapon have a high round count?

I sent my 6 year old 24/7 Pro back to Taurus 8 months ago and was promised a G2 Replacement which I am still patiently awaiting. Taurus Arms International, Ya'll are going to honor this policy, Right???
Mike, I called and was told that the case has not been settled yet and that it should be over by the middle on August. They told me not t send my gun in yet. FYI
Victor, Thanks for the info. I have searched the whole entire deep web trying to get an answer as to when or how to get my gun replaced or fixed. I would settle for the G2
I sent mine in 0ct 24/2017 just after the go ahead from the law firm. It's been over 8 weeks now. I have let my phone sit on hold with them for greater than 2hrs with no answer. I did however web chat with Fran through their website twice. She said I will not be getting a Gen II pistol and that they are now going to "repair" them....and they have no legally required date to return the pistol. I called the law firm and they said just prior to the class suit ending a addendum was made allowing them to develop a repair and not replace the pistol and confirmed Taurus is not bound by a date to return it. I wouldn't have swnt mine back had I know of this last minute change. Even the letter I got from Taurus acknowledging reciept of my gun stated 6 weeks estimate. I'm expecting years now if ever
my pt145 i bought here in the Philippines in late 2002,( sn nvh 5***3 ), does not have the word PRO on its slide, just millenium & pt145 on either side of the slide, is this model/generation included in the safety issues program ? i haven't fired it much( less than 50 rounds of our local standard load armscor 230 gr fmj ) and so far so good. I just want to make sure so i asked you, because the Taurus store guys here are reluctant ( & sometimes arrogant ! ) to entertain questions regarding the safety issues or gun related problems about their products ! i'm respectfully looking forward to your reply, thank you.
This guy has spoken too soon! There are numerous cases online attesting to similar safety problems with the new G2!!! Seems like Taurus has NOT corrected the design problem - or whatever the nature of the cause of injury and death. Having owned 5 Tauruses over 35 years, including the original PT111 Millennium I bought in 1991, which NEVER had an AD despite numerous drops (thanks to a cheap Uncle Mike's fabric/Velcro strap holster carried when jogging) onto the street, I will NOT buy another simply because of the piss-poor customer service experienced in the more than 3 months since I sent it in for the third time to get the front sight repaired after blowing off; they repaired and returned it within a week the two previous times, but that was before the lawsuit and return of thousands of pistols covered by it. Don't think I will EVER see the gun again. Shame on what was once a fine company! They simply need to hire more techs to expedite these guns sent in under the lawsuit; it ain't rocket science, Taurus!!! You just don't want to spend the money to hire them.
If you buy a new Taurus now days you shouldn't have a problem. That being said you are truly ignorant if you don't do your research about any firearm that you are planning to purchase. I research all my firearms before purchasing. Whether it be a Smith and Wesson, Beretta, Ruger , Colt, or Daniel Defense(etc) it doesn't matter. Purchasing something with lack of knowledge on the product is no ones fault but the purchasers. You assume all the consequences of your actions .
yup I dig real deep and make a choice based on what I find. all the manufacturers have had problems and will continue to have problems downloading the line. it's the down side to mass production.
Just spoke with Taurus 2 of mine so far fall under the provisions of the law suit haven check my other one yet. Thinking I might just send them in for repair or replace. Only offering 200$ for them. Less then what I paid so I would lose money
+J. Muller As far as I understand it's just for the safety. I don't drop or toss mine around so I'm of with it. Just bc it falls in the within the time frame of faulty safeties doesn't mean yours is one for sure. I never had any trouble with any of mine and I have 3 -pt112,140,24/7
+J. Muller I had the 24/7 checked out by local gunsmith and was fine, pt111 no issue as of yet, 140 I never carry. I did try at the range to make all of them fail and nothing. However wouldn't hurt to have a gunsmith give it a once over to be safe. My main issue is getting mags for the 140 most places are sold out or want 50$+ per mag.
So you guys really advocate carrying a gun for defensive purposes with a full magazine and an empty chamber? I have been to a number of classes with respected instructors and have never heard of this stupid practice.
Why am I just hearing about this in December of 2023. Good thing I never fire this pistol and keep it locked in my gun safe. I have a G3C that I carry and shoot regularly. I feel Taurus should have sent me a recall notice.
Don't feel like the lone ranger. I got tired of having my truck broke into in old Mexico (San Antonio, TX) so I bought 4 of the cheapest $$$ semi auto pistol I could find to use as a center consol gun. I was never contacted. But I heard they were offering a buy back that was about 75% of what the gun cost, so there's that.
I just bought a PT145 millennium pro about a month ago used. Just found out today there is a recall on my particular model. Manufactured 2009 according to the serial number. Am I subject to this recall? Or am I SOL on this pistol, and have to buy another one?
If you pull the trigger back and flip the safety up at the same time the trigger doesn't reset, therefore if you pull the trigger once again with the safety up being engaged, the gun will actually fire once. Then if you pull the trigger again the gun will not fire now that the trigger has been reset and the safety is engaged. Who in their right mind is going to pull the trigger and engage the safety at the same time especially with a round in the chamber?? If you would actually do that then you probably shouldn't own a firearm. Therefore I don't see a need for sending it in. If you turn it in, you are not going to get your gun back! They are either going to send you a PT 111 G2 ( problably the G2C now) or a check for $200.
I have a 40 S&W 24/7 Pro, and since Taurus tells me they do not sell parts for this due to this class action suit, where do I get any spare parts for it? I'm just looking to buy a few spare parts including The Recoil assembly such as the spring and guide rod in case I ever have catastrophic failures in the future. Would The Recoil spring for the 40 S&W 24/7 G2 work with mine?
I have a friend who a Millennium PT111 G1 that found out about the problems with this model and she's about 11yrs but only fired once, so is there anything she can do to trade or get help with her gun?
I didnt send in my Pro DS .45 for $200 and thats not even a sure thing considering the amount you get depends on the amount of guns actually turned in before the deadline(which I realize already passed, just saying). Never had even a misfeed nor problem with mine... great shooting gun.
Ah, now I see why taurus won't fix my junk pt22, the repair line in too long. Must be costing taurus a small fortune. Taurus will send you a shipping label and charge you $50 to send it back to taurus for repairs. I call BS. I bought a S&W 686 plus with a 3" barrel last year, no amount of rear sight adjustment corrected the point of aim/impact. I called Smith & Wesson and they emailed me a shipping label, sent it to them and had my revolver back in less than two weeks. Problem solved. Oh, Mr MartinHunter, Taurus pistols are junk. Read the reviews by people that are having issues with their pistols, the number of reliability issues are much too high.
At 3:56 he mentions the pro OSS isn't part of the recall. They never made a pro OSS! Does that mean the regular OSS, made in 9mm & 45acp, is part of the recall? We'll never know. Geez Louise.
My G2 really sucked!!! Second time I took her to the range the mag release jumped all over the place. Today, TWO months after Taurus USA have my gun, C.S told me that they don't know when they might get the part since the part come from Brazil... So, guys, before buying a Taurus, even when the price looks very attractive, don't buy it, because if something happens to it you will get stuck in this situation!!!!
I own a Taurus PT 111 Millennium and would love to no how to get it replaced with a G2, I've read all the legal stuff but nothing leads to a site I can replace it.
If you drop a Taurus firearm (most likely if its a polymer frame striker-fired pistol) to the ground it will fire. Some will have a malfunction that makes the gun able to discharge even if it has a safety on and you just shake the gun. Other models will fire if you rack the slide and then put the slide safety on, as if the safety lever was the trigger. A few of the handguns may fire fully automatic until the magazine is empty, if you press the trigger only once. The metal frame pistols like the .40 PT100/101 and so on might present a catastrophic malfunction where the barrel will blow up or the slide will come off when the gun is fired, puncturing the shooter's face or eye. Oddly enough, some of them would just never fire, which has caused cops to die because when they tried to return fire during a firefight, the gun would jam. The Taurus submachine guns are just a nightmare, they could either blow up when fired or fire 30 shots by themselves if shaken as well. The Taurus revolvers are mostly fine though. Today, August 3rd 2016, we had a hearing of people that were hurt by defective Taurus' pistols, most of them police officers and military personnel here in Brazil, they are suing Taurus and the Brazilian Government (which controls part of Taurus) because they have been wounded and rendered disabled for life and because of a dumb law that says the Police and Military are meant to use only Brazilian guns, but we have only 2 firearm brands here, Taurus and Imbel (Imbel used to make our version of the FN FAL rifle, now they make the IA2 rifle and 1911 style pistols). Since those guns are not safe, we are questioning Taurus and the Gov't why we can't import Glocks, M&Ps, or any good quality weapons that are safe and will work properly. Here in Brazil it's almost impossible for civilians to own firearms, we need to be either a cop or military and we can only buy a Taurus, so guys, if you''re going to buy a gun in the USA, don't buy a Taurus, let this company go bankrupt because all they make is shitty products.
I once dropped my 24/7 Pro I had went down to try and stop it from falling and it landed on the back side barrel facing toward me as I went down to reach for it. If it had gone off...I would have been dead. I had put 8000 rounds through that gun with no issues what so ever it was the best gun I ever owned. To this day I can't believe I pawned it away, surprisingly they gave me more then half of what I paid for it...I miss that gun :(
Victor Ramirez ... Nope. The presence of "then". Get it? You can call me little snowflake, but it doesn't make you appear to be gaining intelligence. Just the opposite, in fact. When you're done being wrong, maybe you'll go back and correct your comment. Little snowflake. SMH. Sorry, I forgot to invite you to go ahead and tell me to STFU. That's what comes next, right? OK, go ahead. Really show us what you're made of.
Only owned 1 Taurus, a pt111 g2. It was a worthless piece of shit, failure to extract, double feeds, failure to feeds. It got to the point where I could barely load a new magazine into it because the slide release would drop and jam the round into the top of the chamber. Worthless junk from Taurus, my friend got one too around the same time and his frame rail literally chipped in half. I hope they go bankrupt.
I'll tell you exactly the problem...either you, or someone forgot to dry fire the pistol before taking it apart, and then forcing the slide back on over same...doing this bends and screws shit up...by the way, it happens all the time...and then they get on social media and bitch about it...blaming the gun....I think it's hilarious
My 24/7 g2c .45 constantly fails to enter battery and double feeds and fails to eject. Terrible company that only got the judge right! I don’t think I can even sell or pawn this dog turd.
i have 3 of the taurus and no problems with any of them,my pt145 pro is my daily carry and after being dropped 4 times over the years it has never misfired,never jammed or ftf with any decent ammo(i dont buy the cheapest ammo).i dont really care for the sights on any of them and wouldnt mind if they would change that to be more like my ruger.but then again im not just looking for something to bitch about or looking to sue them for my mistakes either.any weapon will and can misfire or jam if its used by folks that shouldnt be carrying a handgun or anyone without common sense or even if its dropped,no matter what safety features they have.they need a dumbass feature to prevent the gun from firing when held by someone just looking for something to sue over.i own rugers,smith and wessons,taurus's and it seems to me that mine work just fine when they are in my hands or on my body. its kinda like saying the gun was at fault for the mass shootings that have happened instead of the shooter holding it or the cars involved in a drunk driving crash instead of the drunk driver.people nowadays will blame anyone and anything if they think that greed will get them a dollar
what you think would happen when you buy the s&w fail svd plants this should have been looked more into their a reason they sold it cheep and fast had one it hated with a passion steel case ammo and jamd till it died and had to buy new gun from other seller of guns i dont get why people mad at no round in chamber most guns say the same print just for these days when a whole line goes bad just law and buizz
I'd hope a firearm wouldn't go off just cause it was "bumped" into in a holster. Also unless your in an active war zone it might not be necessary to keep one in the chamber.
If it's a life or death situation and you only have a split second, and you have to put one in the chamber, that split second could be the difference between which side of the green grass your on..
TAURUS HAS HAD MY WIFES REVOLVER OVER A YEAR. THEY HAVE OFFERED HER VARIOUS OPTIONS FOR A REPLACEMENT BUT NOT THE SAME TYPE OF GUN SHE HAD 357 MAGNUM STAINLESS STEEL 2INCH HAMMER GUN. SHE WAS OFFERED A 4 INCH BLUED 38 SPECIAL. HAS HAD THE RUN AROUND FROM COMPANY FOR 6 MONTHS..
No the 809nis not part of it from what Ive seen. As a matter of fact I had a 845 and it was one badass gun. Then we got a slim later on and it couldnt hit a man size target from 5yards away haha get a rock island, much better brand and quality
Malcham and Dodge, If you want an inexpensive, reliable pistol that has a lifetime warranty, ready parts availability, and good aftermarket support- get a S&W sd9ve. Personally, I wouldn't trust ANY Taurus model that isn't specifically listed in this video as "Are NOT being recalled", even if it isn't listed as "being recalled"... (And the 809 and 845 aren't even listed on their website- because they're discontinued models- are parts even available?) The reason I say that is because Taurus probably won't list any pistol as questionable- if it hasn't specifically been listed as problematic in the class action lawsuit against Taurus... And for liability reasons, they're very specific about which pistols ARE safe... But I noticed they have eight pistols on display as "NOT part of the recall", but the narrator of the video NEVER touched the three on the left side of our screens!
EVERY gun manufacturer has recalls and issues on a regular basis!!!! Glock, SIG, S&W, Remington, etc......Google your favorite gun right now, GUARANTEE you'll find a recall somewhere.......I'm not defending Taurus, but Firearm recalls are NORMAL business, as models and designs change....It's exactly the same thing with Cars.....It's like people who talk shit about Ford or Chevy, meanwhile their Toyota is driving around with 8 different active recalls....but their too IGNORANT to go online and Look, because they don't want to admit their whole Biased Viewpoint is total bullshit.
1994/1989 Chevy Silverado 4x4 ... Hi guy! I have a question if you don't mind. Do you have a single truck that combined parts of a 1989 and a 1994, or do you have two similar trucks of different model years?
I've had no issues with my PT 609 PRO, I've fired several hundred rounds with no malfunctions except a couple stove pipe, but even a glock or other mid grade pistol are not perfect.
Taurus was forced to RECALL, by Class Action Lawsuit alleging 13 DEATHS and Numerous Injuries, and the internet is full of people complaining they were only given $150-200 ($200 was the max refund) regardless of what they paid for their pistols, and most replacement pistols are whatever Taurus sends the customer- regardless of what model/caliber the customer returned. I'm still shocked people are standing by the brand, but they are INEXPENSIVE- and most people love CHEAP. Both American companies S&W and Ruger make very good quality, inexpensive pistols, that have lifetime warranties that are serviced in the U.S.
I have Taurus pt 709 slim 2015 model,i have droped it several times including throwing it down the stairs it did not fire , it is a lot better than the older models
Half of a Taurus’ issues are assholes who try to shoot +p on non rated guns or else moronically try to use moon clips to shoot .45 auto out of a .45 long colt model.
And then came the Millineum PT111 G2 which has surpassed all expectations with flying color!
I re-read my PT111 9mm Pro Instructions again. The instructions do state that the pistol could accidentally fire if dropped on a hard surface hip high or the trigger could be pulled with one in the chamber, if not correctly holstered and the manual safety off.

Plus it's so far eaten every type of ammo I've fed it including cheap jagged-edged hollow-points. So I'm quite happy with mine.
you know it's fucked when you have to list the firearms not involved first
I own three Taurus handguns. The G2 PT-111, the PT-1911 and the Taurus 85 Poly 38+P. I have fired all three many times and have not had any problems. As far as accuracy goes, the PT-1911 is the best of the group. At 15 yards the PT-1911 will rip one single hole in a silhouette target. The only modification I made to it was a Wilson plastic recoil buffer. These reduce recoil considerably.
If it's any consolation I have a pt111 millenium g2 that's had 7400 rds thru it and still goes bang good gun parts are replaceable.
He said no G2 pistols are involved. Pay attention.
Whew that scared me. Thankfully I got mine in 2014 and it's a PT-840.
I own 7 Taurus handguns and I have had 0 problems from any of them.
yeah bullshit
@@94SexyStang Sorry But True.
I own a Taurus PT111 G2 and the last batch of the PT145 Duo-tone. I like Taurus Pistols and I am keeping my PT145. I have been carrying for 33 years and may have dropped my gun once. Be Responsible and watch what the hell you are doing.
Fleetwood Brougham im buying a older pt145 mill but it’s not a pro but know i don’t know if i should or not have you had problems with yours

Have you received your g2 yet? I am needing to send my g1 in but not if its going to take months to get the replacement. Thx
No, I have not received it yet and its been over 8 months now. I'm extremely frustrated and will probably never purchase another Taurus.
Mike, I called and was told that the case has not been settled yet and that it should be over by the middle on August. They told me not t send my gun in yet. FYI

should i be worry.. I have a 24/7 g2 compact.. 9mm.. please help
Why didn't they just say "All of our semi-autos prior to g2 have been recalled"? What a crying shame. Taurus has low standards in Brazil.
Not recently. after CBC got around administrating it, taurus got better.

I got tired of having my truck broke into in old Mexico (San Antonio, TX) so I bought 4 of the cheapest $$$ semi auto pistol I could find to use as a center consol gun. I was never contacted. But I heard they were offering a buy back that was about 75% of what the gun cost, so there's that.
I own a PT 111 Millennium Pro and have put over 1000 rounds thru it with no malfunctions.
i just bought a gen1 pt145 2 weeks ago. Is it covered in this recall? or am i sol because i bought it after 2013?
I just bought a PT145 millennium pro about a month ago used. Just found out today there is a recall on my particular model. Manufactured 2009 according to the serial number. Am I subject to this recall? Or am I SOL on this pistol, and have to buy another one?
Yes, it's recalled for Safety reasons.
If you pull the trigger back and flip the safety up at the same time the trigger doesn't reset, therefore if you pull the trigger once again with the safety up being engaged, the gun will actually fire once. Then if you pull the trigger again the gun will not fire now that the trigger has been reset and the safety is engaged. Who in their right mind is going to pull the trigger and engage the safety at the same time especially with a round in the chamber?? If you would actually do that then you probably shouldn't own a firearm. Therefore I don't see a need for sending it in. If you turn it in, you are not going to get your gun back! They are either going to send you a PT 111 G2 ( problably the G2C now) or a check for $200.
I have a 40 S&W 24/7 Pro, and since Taurus tells me they do not sell parts for this due to this class action suit, where do I get any spare parts for it? I'm just looking to buy a few spare parts including The Recoil assembly such as the spring and guide rod in case I ever have catastrophic failures in the future. Would The Recoil spring for the 40 S&W 24/7 G2 work with mine?
I have the g2 pt111 and pt840 works good about 2000 rds each
I have a friend who a Millennium PT111 G1 that found out about the problems with this model and she's about 11yrs but only fired once, so is there anything she can do to trade or get help with her gun?
I didnt send in my Pro DS .45 for $200 and thats not even a sure thing considering the amount you get depends on the amount of guns actually turned in before the deadline(which I realize already passed, just saying). Never had even a misfeed nor problem with mine... great shooting gun.
My G2 9mm went off and went threw my knee , l didn't have my hand on trigger...any information on any defects on that gun
yeah it's called JUNK
Ah, now I see why taurus won't fix my junk pt22, the repair line in too long. Must be costing taurus a small fortune. Taurus will send you a shipping label and charge you $50 to send it back to taurus for repairs. I call BS. I bought a S&W 686 plus with a 3" barrel last year, no amount of rear sight adjustment corrected the point of aim/impact. I called Smith & Wesson and they emailed me a shipping label, sent it to them and had my revolver back in less than two weeks. Problem solved. Oh, Mr MartinHunter, Taurus pistols are junk. Read the reviews by people that are having issues with their pistols, the number of reliability issues are much too high.
At 3:56 he mentions the pro OSS isn't part of the recall. They never made a pro OSS! Does that mean the regular OSS, made in 9mm & 45acp, is part of the recall? We'll never know. Geez Louise.
I have a taurus gt 809 for years no problems out of it at all
Where is the video for the latest Rossi/Taurus recall fiasco?
So I have the PT 24/7 pro .40 cal. How does this affect me?
My G2 really sucked!!! Second time I took her to the range the mag release jumped all over the place. Today, TWO months after Taurus USA have my gun, C.S told me that they don't know when they might get the part since the part come from Brazil... So, guys, before buying a Taurus, even when the price looks very attractive, don't buy it, because if something happens to it you will get stuck in this situation!!!!
You have review on taurus ts9??thanks
Is there a recall for these models??
I own a Taurus PT 111 Millennium and would love to no how to get it replaced with a G2, I've read all the legal stuff but nothing leads to a site I can replace it.
any luck? I have the same gen 1 love to know the procedure.Many thanks
If you drop a Taurus firearm (most likely if its a polymer frame striker-fired pistol) to the ground it will fire. Some will have a malfunction that makes the gun able to discharge even if it has a safety on and you just shake the gun. Other models will fire if you rack the slide and then put the slide safety on, as if the safety lever was the trigger. A few of the handguns may fire fully automatic until the magazine is empty, if you press the trigger only once. The metal frame pistols like the .40 PT100/101 and so on might present a catastrophic malfunction where the barrel will blow up or the slide will come off when the gun is fired, puncturing the shooter's face or eye. Oddly enough, some of them would just never fire, which has caused cops to die because when they tried to return fire during a firefight, the gun would jam. The Taurus submachine guns are just a nightmare, they could either blow up when fired or fire 30 shots by themselves if shaken as well. The Taurus revolvers are mostly fine though. Today, August 3rd 2016, we had a hearing of people that were hurt by defective Taurus' pistols, most of them police officers and military personnel here in Brazil, they are suing Taurus and the Brazilian Government (which controls part of Taurus) because they have been wounded and rendered disabled for life and because of a dumb law that says the Police and Military are meant to use only Brazilian guns, but we have only 2 firearm brands here, Taurus and Imbel (Imbel used to make our version of the FN FAL rifle, now they make the IA2 rifle and 1911 style pistols). Since those guns are not safe, we are questioning Taurus and the Gov't why we can't import Glocks, M&Ps, or any good quality weapons that are safe and will work properly. Here in Brazil it's almost impossible for civilians to own firearms, we need to be either a cop or military and we can only buy a Taurus, so guys, if you''re going to buy a gun in the USA, don't buy a Taurus, let this company go bankrupt because all they make is shitty products.
I once dropped my 24/7 Pro I had went down to try and stop it from falling and it landed on the back side barrel facing toward me as I went down to reach for it. If it had gone off...I would have been dead. I had put 8000 rounds through that gun with no issues what so ever it was the best gun I ever owned. To this day I can't believe I pawned it away, surprisingly they gave me more then half of what I paid for it...I miss that gun :(
Victor, I love mine. Goes everywhere I tell it to and leaves big holes. I do have a hard time racking it though.
Victor Ramirez ... Learn the word "than".
J W Aww...did the absence of "than" upset you little snowflake???
Victor Ramirez ... Nope. The presence of "then". Get it?
You can call me little snowflake, but it doesn't make you appear to be gaining intelligence. Just the opposite, in fact. When you're done being wrong, maybe you'll go back and correct your comment. Little snowflake. SMH.
Sorry, I forgot to invite you to go ahead and tell me to STFU. That's what comes next, right? OK, go ahead. Really show us what you're made of.
Is the Taurus Tactical 24/7 OSS DS involved in this program? The one I have was manufactured in 2008
Andy X oh well, still gonna keep it lol
Only owned 1 Taurus, a pt111 g2. It was a worthless piece of shit, failure to extract, double feeds, failure to feeds. It got to the point where I could barely load a new magazine into it because the slide release would drop and jam the round into the top of the chamber. Worthless junk from Taurus, my friend got one too around the same time and his frame rail literally chipped in half. I hope they go bankrupt.
I'll tell you exactly the problem...either you, or someone forgot to dry fire the pistol before taking it apart, and then forcing the slide back on over same...doing this bends and screws shit up...by the way, it happens all the time...and then they get on social media and bitch about it...blaming the gun....I think it's hilarious
My 24/7 g2c .45 constantly fails to enter battery and double feeds and fails to eject. Terrible company that only got the judge right! I don’t think I can even sell or pawn this dog turd.
i have 3 of the taurus and no problems with any of them,my pt145 pro is my daily carry and after being dropped 4 times over the years it has never misfired,never jammed or ftf with any decent ammo(i dont buy the cheapest ammo).i dont really care for the sights on any of them and wouldnt mind if they would change that to be more like my ruger.but then again im not just looking for something to bitch about or looking to sue them for my mistakes either.any weapon will and can misfire or jam if its used by folks that shouldnt be carrying a handgun or anyone without common sense or even if its dropped,no matter what safety features they have.they need a dumbass feature to prevent the gun from firing when held by someone just looking for something to sue over.i own rugers,smith and wessons,taurus's and it seems to me that mine work just fine when they are in my hands or on my body.
its kinda like saying the gun was at fault for the mass shootings that have happened instead of the shooter holding it or the cars involved in a drunk driving crash instead of the drunk driver.people nowadays will blame anyone and anything if they think that greed will get them a dollar
The Watcher I want a PT145 used..can indeed it to them for recall even if I'm not the first owner?
Dam novel
Shake a 24/7 they will fire from just shaking the weapon.
what you think would happen when you buy the s&w fail svd plants this should have been looked more into their a reason they sold it cheep and fast had one it hated with a passion steel case ammo and jamd till it died and had to buy new gun from other seller of guns i dont get why people mad at no round in chamber most guns say the same print just for these days when a whole line goes bad just law and buizz
Shit i have the pt745 pro an just finding out about this today what can I do
Pistol made 2 years ago is still shit, shouldn't be a secret trick to carrying safely. Worse quality than my granny's old television.
I'd hope a firearm wouldn't go off just cause it was "bumped" into in a holster. Also unless your in an active war zone it might not be necessary to keep one in the chamber.
If it's a life or death situation and you only have a split second, and you have to put one in the chamber, that split second could be the difference between which side of the green grass your on..
I just saw a pt132 for sale on armslist for 250
TAURUS HAS HAD MY WIFES REVOLVER OVER A YEAR. THEY HAVE OFFERED HER VARIOUS OPTIONS FOR A REPLACEMENT BUT NOT THE SAME TYPE OF GUN SHE HAD 357 MAGNUM
STAINLESS STEEL 2INCH HAMMER GUN. SHE WAS OFFERED A 4 INCH BLUED 38 SPECIAL. HAS HAD THE RUN AROUND FROM COMPANY FOR 6 MONTHS..
What about the g2c?
Damn ♉ Taurus 😲
Model 94 22 is garbage, STAY AWAY !! Mine has been sent back 4 times for repairs
hey guys is the 809 part of this thinking about getting one for my edc ?
Why take the risk???????!!!!!!!!
No the 809nis not part of it from what Ive seen. As a matter of fact I had a 845 and it was one badass gun. Then we got a slim later on and it couldnt hit a man size target from 5yards away haha get a rock island, much better brand and quality
Malcham and Dodge,
If you want an inexpensive, reliable pistol that has a lifetime
warranty, ready parts availability, and good aftermarket support- get a
S&W sd9ve.
Personally, I wouldn't trust ANY Taurus model that isn't specifically listed in this video as "Are NOT being recalled", even if it isn't listed as "being recalled"... (And the 809 and 845 aren't even listed on their website- because they're discontinued models- are parts even available?)
The reason I say that is because Taurus probably won't list any pistol as questionable- if it hasn't specifically been listed as problematic in the class action lawsuit against Taurus...
And for liability reasons, they're very specific about which pistols ARE safe... But I noticed they have eight pistols on display as "NOT part of the recall", but the narrator of the video NEVER touched the three on the left side of our screens!
EVERY gun manufacturer has recalls and issues on a regular basis!!!! Glock, SIG, S&W, Remington, etc......Google your favorite gun right now, GUARANTEE you'll find a recall somewhere.......I'm not defending Taurus, but Firearm recalls are NORMAL business, as models and designs change....It's exactly the same thing with Cars.....It's like people who talk shit about Ford or Chevy, meanwhile their Toyota is driving around with 8 different active recalls....but their too IGNORANT to go online and Look, because they don't want to admit their whole Biased Viewpoint is total bullshit.
Mike Fu like the Sig 226
Mike Fu ... Just before "too IGNORANT", you used "their".
Mike Fu it's ok friend I have a Taurus 24 7 gen 2 in you... thank you for non biased statement
Mike Fu my Chevy Silverado 1994 and 1989 Still runs great...Amen
1994/1989 Chevy Silverado 4x4 ... Hi guy! I have a question if you don't mind. Do you have a single truck that combined parts of a 1989 and a 1994, or do you have two similar trucks of different model years?
I've had no issues with my PT 609 PRO, I've fired several hundred rounds with no malfunctions except a couple stove pipe, but even a glock or other mid grade pistol are not perfect.
Taurus did the right thing. They bought back nearly a million pre-G2 pistols. I like their new products - great guns for the money.
Taurus was forced to RECALL, by Class Action Lawsuit alleging 13 DEATHS and Numerous Injuries, and the internet is full of people complaining they were only given $150-200 ($200 was the max refund) regardless of what they paid for their pistols, and most replacement pistols are whatever Taurus sends the customer- regardless of what model/caliber the customer returned. I'm still shocked people are standing by the brand, but they are INEXPENSIVE- and most people love CHEAP.
Both American companies S&W and Ruger make very good quality, inexpensive pistols, that have lifetime warranties that are serviced in the U.S.
I have a PT24/7 and a 24/7OSS and I never used them I wonder if it is too risky to use them
All you naysayers know nothing about firearms. It's like saying every car manufacturer that's ever been involved in a lawsuit is junk. Gees
I have an AMC Gremlin full of Taurus guns. When I can afford it, I'm buying a Vega.
I have Taurus pt 709 slim 2015 model,i have droped it several times including throwing it down the stairs it did not fire , it is a lot better than the older models
This might be the end for taurus lol😂😂
I seriously doubt it this was for older guns they actually fixed it and now have the best double stack compact pistol out to date
Is taurus owned by any other company that's in with them . Anybody
Glock
INTRO IS TOO LONG!
No other firearms company has Taurus's dubious track record. You just have to surf CZcams for all the negative reviews. Amazing they stay in business.
Check out the reviews on some of Kahr's product line.
I have to read taurus firearms and I’ve never had any trouble with them
The Perfect gun for Brazil.
my tcp I had was trash
Worst pistol ever for failure to feed .. I had the same thing happen with a keltec 9mm
The lawsuit was unjust
I have every pistol he just named as a hazard
Carry with an empty chamber?? REALLY! So I am planning to whack a robber in the face with a Taurus? GTFOH
at this point I rather buy a hipoint than buy a taurus
moey nolala have you owned a Taurus before ???
lmao.
My HiPoint C9 has NEVER malfunctioned, whereas my Taurus PT-22 has been back to Taurus TWICE for repairs. I won't shoot the Taurus anymore.
Ive owned 3 taurus pistols in my lifetime two pt111's and now a G2C and I've never had any problems with any of them.
+Flyboi Del me either...mine shoot great....I'm thinking it's the owner, not the pistol...
Taurus firearms are crap ! Spend 1
$100 more and get something better then a Taurus . GEEZE!
Wrong. I have two and they work flawlessly.
FUCK Taurus, you get what you pay for.....period. Just cause you "have a couple" and put 200 rounds threw it, means NOTHING.
Dude, Quit Hatin!!
Garbage firearms... so.e people say hey my taurus is great. I say even a nrome watch has correct time twice a day
LMAO
Mine are all great firearms....people are just like parrots.
Please stop making firearms.
Half of a Taurus’ issues are assholes who try to shoot +p on non rated guns or else moronically try to use moon clips to shoot .45 auto out of a .45 long colt model.
