I would ask if you gave the pistol a deep cleaning and removed all the white, *****, cosmoline packing medium that Taurus preserves their guns with on their trip up from South America.
If you haven't, that is likely your problem.
When I bought my first Taurus pistol about fifteen months ago, I didn't realize that the pistol needed a thorough cleaning before being fired...and, the first few rounds jammed up and wouldn't eject or feed. Once I gave it a thorough cleaning, it has performed flawlessly.
Once you get that OSS up and running, you'll have a big cheesy grin on your face that will make everyone around you wonder what you've been up to!
well certainly i agree with these guys about the importance of throughly cleaning any weapon and inspecting it prior to using it.
Taurus as its produced over seas is throughly packed with grease as a precaution against rust so a good cleaning is generally in order.
But failure of all 12 rounds to eject is pretty bad.
of course the thorough cleaning is the best and easiest first step to determine if that is the problem.
If it isn't then give a better description of what is happening:
you say it fails to eject? but does it also fail to extract or does it extract but not eject (clear) the spent round from the gun?
extraction and failure to eject is different than failure to extract from the chamber.
The 24/7 D/S OSS is a military designed weapon specifically developed to compete in military test trials, so it should actually function on just about any weight 9mm cartridge reliabally.
its design was for the standard or NATO power 124 grain projectile however.
MY 24/7 D/S OSS in 45 acp will run just fine on 185, 200 , and 230 grain ammo.
If you don't get it running on all (9 cylinders) give us more info to help you with it.
I agree with what olfarhors said, if it failed to extract all 12 rounds, it's probably a bad extractor or bag mag. Did the problem happen on all 2 mags or on only 1 of them?
So I think it's likely the gun has a bad extractor. Recently, Taurus has been working on the repairs very quickly (it took only 10 days the last time I sent the PT145 in for barrel replacement) so expect to live without it for 2 weeks.
I have the same gun. I've put close to 1000 rounds through it, with the last 600 having been shot since the last cleaning. I haven't had any problems what so ever.
