So I just shot my new pt24/7pro 0ss ds to day and was honestly suprised by the accuracy but dissiapointed in the jamming. The first 12rds. out of the maga worked perfectly but when you get down to the last three it wouldnt feed them all the way. I was using good ammo (magtech 180g. fmc) and federal fmj 180g. This was the first time this gun has ever been shot it was brand new and I am just wondering why this is happening. I even completly took it apart and cleaned it befor shooting it for the first time just to make sure it was flawless.
So any ideas?
When I first move to Indiana and got my carry license I bought a stainless Taurus Model 605 .357 Magnum. It would "bind up" after a few shots of .357 to the point where I could not squeeze the trigger or cock the hammer.
I sent it back to to Taurus...twice. After it was fixed and tested for functionality, I dumped it at a gunshow and have never and will never buy another Taurus.
I read on some forums that others had the same problem with this model.
This is not something you want your CCW weapon doing.
I also own a Taurus 1911. Cost wise I thought it was a pretty good deal for a 1911. However it was not Military Spec. like I thought.
What's not mil-spec? The grips are ever-so-slightly different but other than that? I replaced almost all the "guts" of mine with Ed Brown parts without any issues... I didn't NEED replace any of them, it was a "looks/vainity" thing. After all, it's a 1911!
When I bought my PT1911, I was told it was mil-spec. I had thought I might shoot in some matches so I thought about a new trigger. If it had not been for that I would not have changed a thing. Anyway, about a week after I bought my PT1911, I bought a Kimber .22 conversion kit. The conversion kit fit and worked well with my Springfield 1911 and my Rock Island 1911 but it did not work with the Taurus. I went to the gun shop I had bought my conversion kit from(not the same place I bought my gun) and ask them if they knew why it did not work. I was told that the Taurus PT1911 was not quite mil-spec. Since I experienced the problem with the conversion kit, I had no reason to doubt them. From what I see the Kimber slide does not fit the Taurus right. If it is a Kimber problem and not the Taurus for being a little out of spec my apologies for misleading anyone. I have not bought any parts and have not tried to modify anything on the Taurus since I figured maybe they would not fit. Since you say you have modified yours maybe I will try a new trigger after all.
