The mags on my PT 840 has always been a little loose being my first semi auto i didn't think too much about it not really knowing. Since then I've bought several pistols two more were Taurus and mags were pretty tight . Anyway last Tuesday it fell out after about a half may put it back in and shot some more changed mags for full one and it fell out after a couple shots. Came home and cleaned gun then I called Taurus CS apparently it's been an issue because the girl mentioned a replacement part for it plus a new(different)spring? I'll know more when I get the parts in and compare them.It has been a good dependable pistol other than the loose magazine. All four were loose I'm just glad they had one.
I talked to CS about 5 minutes total call time was 1 hour 53 seconds
I will post when parts come in and pistol is fixed i hope it tightens up the mags

Taurus is sending you the parts? That's great if they are. They are known to be rather stingy with selling parts to customers.

Yeah FROM reading other peoples posts I think it's a weak point on some pistols she told me I also needed the spring to. Go with it. I don't know for sure but she seemed familiar with the issue. I got the parts at no charge and that surprised me because about a Year ago I pulled the pistol down and polished all the trigger parts and lost a detent ball and when I called Taurus to get a new one they told me that I took the pistol apart way too far and voided the life time warranty. I just figured I'd have to pay for the parts but they shipped them free of charge
