Taurus recall

[just jim]

This week it happened, 966,000 guns all across the country recalled.
“It is a vindication for us that we were right, that these guns were defective,” Wheeles said.
It's a vindication for Price, she said, because even after she got her settlement she continued her fight to prevent anyone else from going through what she went through.
"Finally the day has arrived for me that I can tell people number one all these 9 guns are going to be recalled because they've been hurting people for the last 5 years,” Price said.
Taurus pistols subject to the defects include the PT-111 Millennium; PT-132 Millennium; PT-138 Millennium; PT-140 Millennium; PT-145 Millennium; PT-745 Millennium; PT-609; PT-640; and PT-24/7.

can discharge when dropped and have a defective safety that allows the gun to fire even when it’s engaged.

My 92 from them is fine I don't like it more than my beretta but I like it

That 92 clone with the frame safety is an upgrade from the beretta model i feel.

And these taurus guns were featured in romeo and juliet with leonardo decaprio

So how did it fail? How is the firing pin block defective? The articles do not say. Understanding why would be helpful.

Well I guess it will soon be bye bye taurus.

I've always thought that, too, but my PT111 Gen 2 (redesigned and not subject to the recall) is a surprisingly good gun. Never thought I'd say that, but it's true.

It's been reviewed here and elsewhere.

BTW, isn't this a dupe?

Isn't the 24/7 the one in those videos from the Brazilian police showing it'll fire if you shake it a little?
