I think, just my opinion, I would get rid of the "reloads" you are trying to force feed the pistol before I would sell or trade the gun. And a pistol sitting does nothing to prepare it for a trip to the range.

 

Worth a call to ask them

 

I reviewed my postings here going back to the time of purchase and I guess I'll contact Taurus and cross my fingers. I've had good luck with Taurus products over the years but times have changed in the firearms industry-some problem with my S/W Shield EZ in .30SC magazines. Surprise, Taurus responded to my email the next day informing me that magazines have a one year warranty. I responded asking if I could get replacement springs and followers so I could install myself. If they turn me down, I may try Quality_drivens suggestion below.

 

I recently purchased a +2 base for my SD40 and it would only accept +1. When I contacted the manufacturer, they recommended that a sand down the follower some. I did just that, and now it's a +3. Sanding down the center post of the follower may help. It looks like the center post is about one round long. I've sanded other followers down to increase capacity by one.

 

I have a G3C in 9mm. The last round or two are tough. Probably impossible without the Uplula loader.

First time I took mine out, the first round off the top would stovepipe. Subsequent rounds were fine. This was lead bullets. I polished the feed ramp and switched to jacketed projectiles and have not had an issue since.

 

Are you using an Uplula loader. I've found that the last round is tough to get in. Someone once advised me to always load one round short to prevent jams but that has never been an issue for me.

Any pistol sitting for 2 years isn't range ready. It needs cleaning and relubrication.
