David59 Posted November 18, 2017 at 06:46 PM Share Posted November 18, 2017 at 06:46 PM I sent back my Taurus PT145 for the repair or replacement recall about six weeks ago. Still waiting to hear if they will repair it or replace it. I read a few months ago that there was no repair option available at this time and they would simply replace it with a newer model. Has anyone else sent back their pistol and heard anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLOCK22 Posted November 19, 2017 at 02:15 AM Share Posted November 19, 2017 at 02:15 AM Good luck. I had a 24/7 PRO CDS in .40 that I sent in. Waited almost a year and a half for a new gun. That was back when they were just wrapping up the lawsuit though, so yours might not take so long. I opted for a PT111G2 in its place, as the 9mm was available before the .40 and i didnt want to wait any longer. My advice would be to utilize their online chat, and contact them every 3-4 weeks.I also requested and received a free magazine for my trouble.

cherryriver Posted November 19, 2017 at 11:57 PM Share Posted November 19, 2017 at 11:57 PM Hah. The suit's law firm (the people who actually profited from the whole mess) were telling members that Taurus was going to take 2-3 weeks to replace the sent-in guns. That remains to be seen.I have a PT145 in the hopper, myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raw Power Posted November 20, 2017 at 09:42 PM Share Posted November 20, 2017 at 09:42 PM When I read the title, I just assumed it was a blanket recall for all of their guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fnnuguy Posted November 20, 2017 at 09:49 PM Share Posted November 20, 2017 at 09:49 PM Good luck to all! After waiting a year I received a Pt11g2 to replace a Pt11 Mil-pro and another 9 months (21 mo total) for a POS PT809 to replace a 27/7 OSS tactical.They are not giving much of an option, A $200 G2, a discontinued 809 or whatever cash is left, up to $200 (which more likely than not will be about $100).There is no fix for the class guns! What I'd like to know what will happen to the NOS guns yet to be sold? Still alot of em on GB.Let the buyer beware! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David59 Posted December 5, 2017 at 12:25 AM Author Share Posted December 5, 2017 at 12:25 AM Update Week 7 Contacted Taurus by “chat”. After asking a few questions they asked me to fax claim form. I told them that it was sent in the box with the firearm (one inside gun case and one in the box). I gave them my claim number and claim ID number. They said to contact the back in 72 hours.

David59 Posted February 20, 2018 at 02:03 AM Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 at 02:03 AM Finally heard back from Taurus. They said they will soon be sending me a new replacement PT 111 G2 pistol. I had a 45 cal and knew that they only now make a 9mm and 40 cal in the G2 but they now say they no longer make the 40 cal. Also they said I can only get it in the flat dark earth/blue color. I guess better that nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmurph44 Posted February 21, 2018 at 10:36 PM Share Posted February 21, 2018 at 10:36 PM Taurus has had my TCP 380 now for nine weeks, this is why I will never buy another Taurus product, junk guns and junk service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aka Posted March 17, 2018 at 03:51 PM Share Posted March 17, 2018 at 03:51 PM Taurus has had some serious issues with their products lately. We have had a lot of complains in the store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After three months I finally got my gun back, they replaced the ejector and gave me a new clip, I haven['t had a chance to shoot it so I have no idea if it works. Taurus customer service is horrible, they wont answer their phone and the chat option is so bad it's laughable, I started trolling their Facebook page and miraculously my gun was fixed and returned within days. No more Taurus for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papa Posted March 18, 2018 at 02:01 AM Share Posted March 18, 2018 at 02:01 AM Taurus has had some serious issues with their products lately. We have had a lot of complains in the store.

Taurus customer service is horrible, they wont answer their phone and the chat option is so bad it's laughable, I started trolling their Facebook page and miraculously my gun was fixed and returned within days. No more Taurus for me. The TCPs were hit or miss. I found that the black SS ones are pretty reliable and the FS black one was returned before I even shot it.Also most of the issues are usually solved on You Tube but here's a hint if you watched "Shooting The Bull". Most TCPs and some LCPs will not chamber the last round if it's an XTP. The first round loaded in my mags in them are HS so they are the last round shot if you shoot all 7. I have run hundreds of assorted rounds through both guns and the only thing I noticed was the XTP issue. That's was a problem that wasn't addressed on "Shooting The Bull", he shot 5 rounds of each load so there was never a last round issue. I have also heard that they had issues since the class action settlement. I bought my TCPs a few years ago and both are E series black SS. I was apprehensive, especially with the first one which was the FS one. I put the mag in, pulled the slide back and it locked and then it flew forward and bit me. It went back to the gun store within an hour. They exchanged it for a black SS one with two mags. I shot the daylights out of it and then bought another one for $180. I have one in both of my vehicles as a last resort in pocket holsters. I have a LCP II and have had no problem with the XTP round. It has never failed to feed. I can't comment about the earlier LCPs.

Hipshot Percussion Posted March 18, 2018 at 02:15 PM Share Posted March 18, 2018 at 02:15 PM I must be one of the lucky ones. My TCP has been a great little pocket pistol. I don't shoot it a lot, but when I do it goes bang. I can't ask for more than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C0untZer0 Posted March 18, 2018 at 03:46 PM Share Posted March 18, 2018 at 03:46 PM I almost bought a TCP, but I'm glad I waited. I got a Remington RM380 for $99.00 and it has been flawless straight out of the box. I've been shooting it for 3 months and I haven't had a problem yet. When its not at the range it is my bathroom gun. I have a Taurus Millennium G2 PT111 which has been problem-free. I don't shoot it a lot, it mostly sits in a GHB, but I've had it for a while and when I've taken it to the range I haven't had any failures.

patriot1776 Posted March 19, 2018 at 12:33 PM Share Posted March 19, 2018 at 12:33 PM That's why I buy , Glock , S&W , Sig or Springfield . They all get recalled these days but those for me have gotten things done fast . If I wanted a different model gun I would have bought it instead of the one they recalled .

If I wanted a different model gun I would have bought it instead of the one they recalled .I have several Glock and Sigs. The Glock had a recall on the recoil springs and the exchange was painless. I called them and within a week it was all done. Never had a recall on a Sig. Basically those are the only handguns I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmurph44 Posted March 20, 2018 at 08:48 PM Share Posted March 20, 2018 at 08:48 PM Finally made it to the range today, I shot 50 rounds through the TCP 938 and it ran perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
