SpeedyR, I loaded my first two batches for my FNP Tac last night and remember reading in your post about a shorter OAL. My data called for 1.15" and 1.2" for 185gr RNFP and 230gr RN, respectively. For both loads I started the OAL a little shorter, at 1.14 and 1.19. In both instances the...
Yeah I wasnt expecting them to replace the slide, was excited to see that on the invoice until i saw they replaced it with another customer's take-off. The least they could have done is give me the right sights back!
I did, was polite about it but the lady from CS basically knew they F'd up. The carry wear wasnt too bad, just around the rear of the slide and a few long scratches on the top. The worst was the wear internally, it looked like a duty gun inside for real, and when it was assembled my barrel...
Got it from FedEx a few minutes ago, Taurus replaced the recoil rod assembly and the slide. Recoil assembly looks good, its a new part. Slide that they gave me has obvious carry wear, lots of internal wear on the extractor and firing pin channel, horrible lockup movement on my gun, and to top...
Good to know, I was expected at least a few weeks and not a few days. Going to have it out on the range on Saturday and will report back with the results.
Sent my gun out Tuesday overnight to Taurus, they received it on Wednesday. Today (thursday) I get an email saying its on the way back to me. Should I be skeptical that they fixed the four issues I sent it back for?? Hmmmmm....
Long overdue update, still getting the slide lock issue and now also having problems with light strikes in DA mode, and some issues with the recoil rod (end is coming unthreaded and its very difficult to remove the rod from the slide during disassembly). Its going back to Taurus tomorrow then...
So my girlfriend happened upon one of these a few years ago and when we started dating I knew I just had to take it to the range at some point. Well, that time was yesterday.
I took this to the range along with a few other guns and gave it a whirl, and I will say it was both the most fun...
Went and shot 150 more of AA reloads and Win SXZ, only issue I had was the slide lockig back with one round left. No other issues with loading or ejection so Id say it is definitely an improvement. Its so much nicer to shoot a pistol that acts right :)
I think I know the deal with the mags...
We shall see, probably going to shoot a few more boxes tonight and see what happens. The issues were getting less prevalent as the day went by so perhaps it just needs a workout.
I had a chance to get in some range time today so I thought I would past a review of this pistol.
Here were my initial impressions:
So today I headed to AMC with a few hundred mixed rounds of 9mm to give it a whirl. I shot about 75 rounds of Alabama Ammo Co. 115gr JHP and FMJ reloads...
Bud's has these on sale right now, thought about maybe picking up one of the full-size 9mm models. $345 shipped aint bad at all.
