Hey, Thanks to all for the responses on my question about my 24/7 G2 not returning to battery ready to fire. Dogchild, that video did the trick. The setup on the PT111 is exactly like the 24/7. By pressing down on the spring loaded extractor axle, the extractor was easily removed. I expected trash behind it obstructing the movement, but it was clean as a whistle. So, I removed some minor burrs on the extractor and polished the contacting face to a mirror. I also just polished the side of the extractor some and easily filed a chamfer on the slide where the extractor is recessed to make sure there were no hangups. While I was polishing, I just hit the feed ramp and the inside of the firing chamber. The ramp was already quite good, but the chamber needed some attention.
I put everything back together and took the gun out this afternoon. Fifty rounds later, both rapid fire and slow deliberate shots and no hiccups. I was even using TulAmmo ammunition with those cruddy steel cases. It spit them through and landed every case within a 1-foot diameter circle. To say I am relieved and happy is to be guilty of the understatement of the month. I now feel confident in using it for an EDC. I had previously carried my CZ (either PO7 or PO1) but did not want to risk having them wind up in an evidence room for a couple of years if I had to use them in defense. The Tauruses I have had previously had been very accurate and reliable.......and the price is right. I feel I can now bet my life on this gun but won't lose the family farm if the police impound it.
Thanks again, everyone for the welcome and the help. Now, maybe my story will help someone else who gets a bargain that doesn't always work just right. Blessings all and keep it in the BULLS EYE.
