Jonyrotten, I was just bugging out on the group hug.....
I'm still waiting to see some pictures of a specific issue, or at least hear some kind of specific detail as to what the OP is having issues with. Tick-tock, tick-tock......
I tend to agree with you Jony, I've never ever had a problem with a Taurus right out of the box. I thought I did when I bought my 24/7 Pro 45, but turned out it had more packing grease in it than Fonzie's hair does - after I cleaned this out, everything was fine. I bought a 24/7 9mm from Bubba on this forum down in Houston, and once I got it home and we were breaking it down, my son broke the firing pin retainer - quite simply his own fault. I sent the slide back to Taurus, and I got it back in 27 days - completely fixed, including a replacement of the front sight that I didn't ask for but they must have seen something. So, while I've heard a lot of posters complain of brand new guns never working, I'm more under the umbrella of satisfied, happy customer. Maybe I've just been lucky, but I really don't think so. JMO.
