Re: Taurus pistols - $39 Million settlement

Although they tell you that you can check the status on the internet when you type in the id it doesn't show you anything. I did get an email from them saying that they received it. It is not my carry gun and I bought it basically as a keep in the desk gun.
I sent in one of my PT111 MilPros just to see what would happen. Taurus received on 08/12 and I got the same 6 weeks email & letter. I had an online chat that boiled down to "it will checked and repaired if possible" and "if it can't be repaired and the judge OK's the settlement it would likely be replaced." Which sounds like replacements wouldn't go out until after the settlement is final.

I didn't drop test mine but I did find a way to apply the safety and still get the striker to fire. IF I pull the trigger about 1/4" past where the slack is gone when the striker is not cocked, I can force the trigger past the safety and fire the striker. If the striker is cocked or I don't pull the trigger while applying the safety I can't force it.

I know someone with a PT111 (non-pro/Mil pro) .40 that can bypass the safety with a hard trigger pull. I wonder if this is either specific to the .40 models or the earlier PT111?
