Alright Sheldon! Thanks for sharing this. If you read the threads on this forum long enough, you will find many more stories like yours. I own four Taurus handguns and one Charter Arms revolver that I bought for my wife in a weak moment. None of them have given me any problems.I bought a new Taurus 94 .22 revolver that had problems with the cylinder sticking about 3 times every 9 shots. It just would not turn. Took back to the dealer two weeks ago who sent it in to Taurus that same day. Yesterday, the shop called me and said they got confirmation from Taurus that they got the gun and that it would be 5 weeks before they sent it back. Assuming two weeks more for shipping, that would be a total of 9 weeks. Is that about what to expect from Taurus? I thought the turn around time would me a lot shorter. Do they just have too many to be fixed?Sheldon said:
Got a pleasant surprise. Gun shop called this morning and said my Model 94 was back from Taurus. That is 3-4 weeks sooner than expected. Packing slip said they "adjusted" the cylinder and the firing pin. Raining today and supposed to rain all weekend. Probably won't get range time until Monday but will then give an update on the repair.moncoacp said:
Well they did all right by me. Not only was turnaround time much shorter than anticipated, the M94 now works flawlessly after 150 rounds. No cylinder lockups, no light strikes like before. Had one misfire but on inspection it was the cartridge. I am awaiting delivery of a 738 which I hope will not have to be sent back, but if it does,I have more confidence that it will be sent back in working order within a a reasonable time.Big Ugly Tall Texan said:
I hardly feel like a trasher, matter of fact I tend to be a Taurus advocate, if your comment was directed my way! Otherwise my apology to you.MilProGuy said:
I doesn't seem to be working for me. I sent my PT745 back 4 weeks ago, which is the amount of time they told me the repair would take. According to the "Repair Status" it's still awaiting repair. Oddly enough, 10 days ago it moved to under repair for 3 days, but then went back to awaiting repair. Because of that, I'm wondering if there's a parts problem, but no one has communicated anything to me.Big Ugly Tall Texan said:
In the past I have sent 3 guns back to the manufacturer for repair. I bought a used HP 995 carbine and HP wanted to check it out before I shot it - back in 7 days, and still shoots perfectly. I sent back a S&W SW9VE for a free trigger job - back in 5 days with free shipping both ways. 500+ rounds w/o one problem. The other one I didn't send back. I called Kahr to ask about a metal mag release, although the polymer one worked. Two days later, I received two in the mail with a Ph# to call a tech, and he would walk me through the install - not required.rexy said:
Sorry to hear about your 24/7. I've heard about this in earlier models, but my 3rd gen has been perfect. In fact, the 24/7 was the basis for my buying the PT745, but that's been a disaster, and I'll probably sell it when it gets back. I thought the PT745 would be a better CC gun than the 24/7 c, but although it's a bit shorter, it's about the same in grip length and just as thick. I'm still looking for that "perfect" CC 45.PCottrell said:
