My wife bought this pistol about 4 years ago. She fired about 20 rounds through it, we cleaned it, and it hasn't been fired since (it's been sitting in her dresser.) She finally decided it was time to get educated and start using the pistol. So we go to the range for a little basic safety and shooting. The pistol jammed about 6 times. I finally had her put it away and we continued using my PX4 (of course, now she likes the PX4!) Anyway, I start doing some research and I run across a guy who reviewed this same model on U Tube. He actually had the exact same issue and his video shows the gun jamming exactly like ours and he claims they sent it back to Taurus and they fixed the issue. Said it was "Extractor Failure in Chamber" and the replaced the barrel with and Oversize replacement. Then he said he fired about 200 round through the gun with absolutely no issues after the repair. So, I'm in the process of trying to contact Taurus (was on hold for almost 30 minutes when I hung up today) and hope to send the pistol back to them to get the issue resolved.
I'm curious if anyone else has experienced a similar issue with the Taurus PT709 Slim? Obvious if I don't get the issue resolved by the manufacturer I'll be looking for a good gunsmith. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
In case you're curious, this is the link to the PT709 review that shows the exact same issue I'm having.
