Re: 6 weeks Taurus... 6 weeks

I have four Taurus semi-autos that have been reliable for me: 738, 709 Slim, 638, and PT92. I prefer the PT92 over the Beretta because of the frame-mounted safety. The 638 is a nice gun for stepping folks up from a .22 since the .380 in a PT111-sized gun keeps the recoil down.

I did have a lot of FTFeeds with the 709 at first but figured out it was a magazine problem and Taurus replaced the magazine. No problem since except it doesn't like the bulk hollow points from Freedom Munitions.

I also have a 24/7 G2 that I haven't fired yet and a PT111 Mil Pro that I haven't had any problems with but haven't shot enough to say it is reliable.

One thing I did learn about most Taurus semi-autos, and any made in Brazil, is they tend to have a lot of grease in the firing pin channel and it will get sticky and frequently is out of the box. A thorough cleaning solves the problem.
