how many rounds of the hydra shoks have you put through it? do you routinely practice double-taps and rapid fire?MikeUCTX wrote:I often carry my Taurus T738 380 cause it easily slips in my pocket when the wardrobe calls for a small pocket pistol and it shoots well. I'm shooting Federal Low Recoil 90 Grain Hydra Shok JHP with good results and accuracy.
I also carry the TCP 380 routinely. I have probably put 300 rounds through it, mostly FMJ target rounds, but always put one or two magazines of hollow points through each range trip. I've been using some Liberty Civil Defense ammo that I got a good deal on.
I like the Taurus mostly because of it's size, and it's got a decently smooth DAO trigger with a decently crisp reset. I haven't had many jams or FTF/FTEs except for a few FTEs that cleared very easily while shooting double taps/rapid fire with target ammo. That said, I was shooting it in April and while firing through a 6 rd magazine it malfunctioned badly. Mid magazine I pulled the trigger and nothing happened. No bang, not even a click. Still had trigger spring tension, but no hammer movement. I racked the slide, no use. Cleared the gun, and couldn't get anything to happen. I ended up sending it in to Taurus and they sent it back within two weeks. Their report said that they replaced the trigger assembly, but didn't indicate what the malfunction was. It's worked fine since, but I plan on finding a new primary carry gun. Starting with my new Sig p239 9mm.
