Hey guys, new member! Ive got a new taurus pt-140 mellenium pro
That, quite often, the slide will not come back when pulled manually
Without just a hair of pull on the trigger? To me this is not a safe condition.
Ive only put 100 rnds through it. Fired, chambered, just fine. Nice shooter with no
Failures to feed or extract. This issue occurs on chambering the first
Round, or unloading the weapon. Is this something minor i cld take care of?
Or do i need to send this back to TAURUS? Ive always been a revolver guy, this
Is the 2nd semi auto ive purchssed, issues already!
Thanx for any ideas!
