Not to take the thread off topic, but I REALLY wish that more ranges had this. I usually do a quick break-down and clean in my car while I am sitting in the parking lot. For some reason, I frequently am not heading home right after the range, and I know that I won't feel like doing the cleaning after dinner, movie, or whatever else I am going to do right after shooting.DoubleJ wrote:I used the one at *my* local range, Bellevue Gun Club, which has a Gun Cleaning room.
here's their blurb on the specifics:

been having trouble with the new 709 FTF
Problem now seems to be solved.
The main 2 things I did to solve my issue are...
1. clean the snot out of it and make sure the firing pin mechanism is well oiled (as previously noted they pack a ton of grease in these at the factory)
2. started shooting better quality ammo
today I shot 100 rounds of Remington UMC with ZERO FTF issues and just to see if this was the problem I loaded 1 mag of Monarch and sure enough the 4th monarch round was a no fire. see ya Monarch and White box Winchester I know your cheap but I'm done with you.
If you buy a less expensive gun, but can't shoot cheaper ammo, doesn't it make it a more expensive gun in the long run??
Seriously though, I've seen the response to many gun issues as, "Run better ammo." That seems like a problem to me. I want my gun to be able to run the cheapest of cheap stuff as well as the good stuff. I'll pay extra up front for a Glock or other gun that I know will always go bang, then bang again with the cheapest stuff Walmart or other places have to offer.
Thats why I like Glocks.I must be the exception. No problems with my Taurus PT-709 running WWB or anything else. Don't get me started on my Taurus PT 24/7 (45 cal), however. That thing has had all kinds of problems.
Taurus really seems to be hit or miss in my experience.
