Taurus pistols - $39 Million settlement

[WinoVeritas]

Taurus free return shipping was 12 months on a new gun; then 6 months; now 3 months. The fact they offered to pay it back was pretty good indication they're trying to resolve problem even if recall/suit isn't totally finalized.

The G2's Millennium or PT24/7 are not affected - all those series earlier are Millennium, Millenium Pro, and any configuration of PT24/7 prior to G2 - that would include OSS, Long Slides, Compact & standard, with or without decocker, Pro or not.

It is in that limbo state of unknown. They received it 8/11. I am just waiting to see when they send it back what they will say. 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 will post when I hear more.

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?

My most recent call to them was on 8/28/15, and at that time they still had
no details on what the settlement will give to those of us who have the guns on the list.
The rep said to call once a month and/or watch the Taurus website for details.
Thanks for nothing.

I don't see any sense to sending my pistol in just to be checked. I don't want it checked.
When the settlement is finalized the best case scenario for me would be to get a check,
which I can then use to buy another Springer, Ruger, or something else "non-Taurus".

If a check is not in the cards, I would take a new Taurus G2, but I'd rather have the cash.

Went on line today to check on Taurus. Their website doesn't work so had a "chat" with Massiel who said "your firearm is part of the class action settlement. It will be replaced with the pt111g2 please have dealer fax/email copy if their FFL to 786-441-2108 or email to
taurusffl@taurususa.com referencing your service order # and serial # "

So, I am going to wait until I get the formal letter and have my Taurus dealer handle this. I don't know if I will be stuck with a FFL fee or if the dealer will do it for free (I didn't buy it locally). I sent in two mags and I hope I get two mags back.

Those that sent theirs in should hear soon I guess.

Terms of the recall

The link above says that reimbursement may be made "up to $200".
I wonder what determines any individual's exact reimbursement.

With regards to getting your mags back, I don't recall if it was Taurus' site,
or someone else's, but some manufacturer states that magazines will not be returned
due to the patchwork of laws regarding different states' maximum magazine sizes.

States with restrictive mag sizes usually limit it to 10 rounds, but I believe NYS
has a 7 round limit. IIRC, a 10 rounder in NYS is OK as long as you only partially
load it with 7 rounds. Thank goodness we don't have that nanny state nonsense here.

At such time as I call the claims number above, I will post the substance of the call
on this thread. Don't hold your breath for my entry. You are free to go the fridge
for a cold beverage. :-)

When I went online and "chatted' they wanted FFL to send service order number and serial numbers. I would make sure that both are given. They never contacted me yet but going to my dealer tomorrow anyhow.

I expect they would replace with a PT24/7C G2 Compact .45.
