Taurus is supposed to have a top notch warranty and service and that is a big part of why I purchased this pistol however, if I can diagnose this issue myself I would like to. I am, however, prepared to ship it to Miami if I cannot or if it is thought unwise.
I did my homework before buying this pistol so please keep the anti-Taurus posts out of this.
I bought my wife this pistol for Christmas. I did my best to clean it well before we took it out but had a hard time removing the slide. I have read and watched many videos regarding removing these slides and was aware it could be tricky. Decided to run it without removing during cleaning and 2 mags in it failed. Not (in my opinion) an FTF or FTE. It fired, ejected, did not feed and I could not operate the slide without pulling and holding the trigger. I dropped the mag, pulled the trigger, locked the slide and reinserted the mag. It chambered a round when I racked it but again ejected and did not feed. This happened a few times. It never operated properly once this started. I cannot see anything blocking it but, even when I pull the trigger to release the slide I still cannot remove it. I can get the slide about half to 2/3 of the way off but then it hits something. Does anyone else have any experience with this?
