Had another failure today on my pt-111 (3rd gen). Same as last time, shell caught under the slide.
Stupid me didn't mark the mag the first time or today. One of the mags has a loose cartridge when full. After I load the mag full one cartridge shakes around (is loose)if you shake it. After I tap the mag it tightens up but is still loose(can hear it moving). I think it's the 6th shell from the bottom, which makes sense since it has failed about in the middle of the mag both times. Also both times I didn't tap the mag after loading.
Anyone else have this problem?
I'm going to call taurus tomorrow and see what they say about it. I hope it's just the mag. All else fails I guess I'll send it to Miami.
Still awaiting replacement sights that won't break my wallet. I can't hit point of aim at 7 yrds even when benching it. I'm alot better with it at 10-15'. Maybe it's just me, being new and all, but I'm deadly with my buddy's s&w 15, It's got 3/4-1" more barrel and a damn fine sa trigger though. I just really hate the straight 8's. I want to see the poi when I pull the trigger. It's making me think twice about the ss pt1911 that I've been planning/saving for as my next big purchase if they ever come out. Or maybe the mil-pro is a close range gun and my expectations are too high.
ok done with my rant.
Thanks
Joe
