I just received a new PT 24/7 .45 from an online purchase with a reputable dealer. I was transfering 3 guns and it was late at night by special appt. with my FFL because I'll be out of town for the next 3 weekends and didn't want my guns just sitting there. I checked out the Glock and Sig that I purchased but when I got to the Taurus, I checked it out cosmetically, but not mechanically.
So here's my problem. The Mag in the gun would not drop free, I pulled it out and put the other one in and it drops fine.
Okay, so i start looking at the mags. The one that was originally in the Gun is vissibly damaged. On the left side of the mag at the top most forward part of the mag, right where the steel meets the follower it's bent out slightly creating a little lip or ripple. Also at the top on same side but towards the rear part of the mag it has other little dents and dings.
I would say it increased the over all width at the top of the mage by 1/64 to 1-32 of an inch. So I'm assuming I"ll have to send the Mag to Taurus to be replace.
The second, bigger problem I have is I can't get the trigger to engage. I've never owned a Taurus auto before, but this was a steal. It feels GREAT in my hand if looks and feels well built. But, I'm just not getting it. I racked the slide, put the mag in, took it out. Racked the slide again. Made sure the lock wasn't engaged. It's like the trigger is in "freewheel" mode, no tention. :???: Maybe I'm an idiot, but I've never had this problem before.
Anyone have any advice.
