Wife purchased new Taurus PT 738. Have not fired the gun yet but have tried to feed live round through it. Problem is that the rounds keep hanging on the trough leading to the barrel instead of sliding up the trough into the barrel. Only thing I see that I question is when the slide is open you can move the barrel freely back and forth and up and down. Shouldn't the barrel be held solid so the round can be feed into it?
