This article explains what you need to know about the Taurus pistol recall. There is a Taurus recall forum and a Taurus firearms recall website though, from which you can get the latest update on the Taurus firearms recall status. The recall included nine of their more popular handgun models manufactured between , namely:. Once the recall period for the pistols started in the fall of , all transactions were held by a third party, rather than Taurus.
It is a pistol that fires a bullet with each trigger pull, then prepares another discharge right after. At the time, some have estimated the total cost for the company to be somewhere near the 50 million dollar mark. That is, once the recall is over and everyone, including attorneys, has been paid. While a settlement is nice and all, not everyone got covered by this. To make matters even worse for them, why would anyone want to buy a gun from a company with a class-action lawsuit, and who needs to recall that many Taurus pistols?
I know many law enforcement officials who chose Taurus firearms. Imagine what they would say if they heard about the settlement Taurus is providing for their faulty firearms. Oh, I know why. And because companies recall products without defects all the time.
Handgun models are not supposed to work like that. Taurus, I have a novel idea that goes something like this: Admit that your Taurus pistols were faulty, then apologize for it and let the gun community at large know how very sorry you are.
Also, let us know that a Taurus pistol recall will never happen again. This story first broke somewhere else, first. Here is the link to that original story on the Taurus firearms recall.

I also own Taurus, and love my gun. Probably comes from youthful inexperience as a writer. Tricks are all Obama knows, deceitful son of a bitch!
Those mother fuckers murder babies, rip em apart and do whatever with those tiny body parts, and want to call legal gun owners domestic terrorist? It wont bankrupt them, and not everyone of the guns recalled will make it in to be recalled. But, again, with the Gun Lobby trying their damndest to kill gun manufacturers in this country what then, our Armed Forces will carry Swedish and German weapons only??
I would like to know the complete list as I have two Taurus guns. A PT and a PT Never had a problem. Granted I have not shot that many rounds through ANY of my guns. I need not see why I should.
Only about rounds in any of them and I have many. Then cleaned and lubed them and put them away. So who will send us list or will we be notified by Taurus?? I have moved many times over the years since purchasing my guns. So how would ANY of the manufactures know how to contact me?? Been buying guns for over 45 years now.
I have owned Taurus firearms for many years and they have always worked fine with zero problems. Now I understand that as I am someone that respects firearms and takes good care of them if the firearm is maintained properly the chances of a malfunction drops dramatically.
I carry this firearm all the time as my concealed weapon of choice. I do so because it is accurate, fires a. Another Reason I like this weapon is because it has a second strike capability which means that should the round fail to fire the first time I can simply pull the trigger again and the firing pin will strike the primer again hopefully making the gun go bang.
All I need to do to bring my weapon into action is flip off the safety with my right thumb and pull the trigger as this firearm is capable of double action. When it goes bang it is now in single action mode and even more accurate than before. Bottom line, I think it is a damn fine firearm.
I love mine, no problems yet, had a few jams at the range, but after a good cleaning, it worked well. This Firearm was made for tactical use and looks and feels great in my hands. What holster do you use?
I bought at PT G2 Dec , production model. After 29 shots the trigger safety broke. I notice others have had the same problem. Taurus has the gun for 7 weeks now and thier customer service indiicates parts on order.
They also indicated looking into this issue for possible defect. I guess my gun is outside of the recall production date ending I wish I would have gone with another manufacture. Are you aware of others with a simalar defect. Thanks, Robert. I have had Taurus pistols all my life all different kinds over the yrs.
I finally settled on keeping my pt 92afs and a pt g2. Both have been flawless in operation…I have had friends who have had glocks n sigs and had sent them off several times for repair for one reason or another.
Do not return your pistol to Taurus. I made that mistake. They said that I will get a free replacement, but all replacements are on backorder. They will not say when the backorder may end. They will not issue a credit so that you can purchase a different pistol. If you contact Taurus they just read a script to go to the Cartersettlement website and follow instructions.
At that website the only instructions are to fill out an online form and leave your information. Taurus is dodging this recall by constantly pushing the Final Court Settlement date off into the future. Taurus will not take the guns back even though the settlement declares under the Enhanced Warranty they must take them back without any claim and without any cost to the owner. The only people making out on this bogus recall are the attorneys.
Even if this ever gets in gear to start taking back guns, the time limit for them deciding what to do means you may never get a gun back, because they will not return your gun. Buy quality guns from companies like Ruger, Smith, Glock, Sig, etc…. If you want a cheap gun buy a used Ruger instead of a crappy Taurus.
I Have a Taurus. This will discharge on its own and has several times. I an glad that no one was injured when this was Happening. I have E-Mailed Taurus with no Response at all…and when called ,,they give the runaround.. Great post. Is there anything unique about the Taurus PT G2? Now have found it to be on recall. Took it back to the dealer for a refund. The damned thing was on recall when he sold it to me. How legal is this. Still have reservations? Has the Class Action Suit regarding the PT pistol been resolved and may I have information on when and to whom I may send my pistol for replacement?
Donald Robertson [email protected] NET. Never had any complaints, but I put them away because of the drop-discharge issue. I bought a pt to get it away from my irresponsible brother. I figured I could use it for the range.
I would never carry a poor quality gun for self defense. Misfires, stovepiping and jams were very reliable. Every third pull was a dud. It makes no sense to save a hundred bucks and risk your life. Its 4 3 17 and I want at least another gun I can plink with or partially swap for a real weapon.
Any updates on when this might happen? Already have the new G2. There is no. Sounds like a cluster for Taurus and owners who decide to send their pistols back. Never had any issues with any of mine. The day I dropped my PT I was getting it down off an overhead shelf in a closet and the IWB holster caught on something and the gun kept coming. It went down at least 7 feet and hit the floor carpet.
This was years ago before this recall was ever posted. Not sure how it could fire when dropped. Not going to do it. Is the OSS even on the list?? Vague list. I kind of doubt it since the OSS was made for military use but obviously never made it that far. But who knows. The story I read about a police officer running and dropping his PT sounds corny. So the gun discharged when it hit the ground with the safety on?? What officer carries a PT?
Not to mention a safety that was in the ON position. Makes no sense. I was trained this way by ex military and ex cops. Best to carry a pistol with no safety at all. I own a Taurus PT, once I dropped it while loaded, luckily it didnt go off.
This particular pistol has never given me any troubles. A friend of mine sent in a Rossy model for repairs around 10 months ago and they wont respond to his emails or calls. Same here, have fired hundreds of rounds thru mine and never a hiccup. When the magazine release fell out of my PT G2 going on 6 months ago the customer service has continued to tell me the parts are on back order.
Has anyone else experienced this issue. Poor business practices at best. Would recommend doing business with a different manufacture. As a new buyer, reading a two year old article…. I have a Taurus PT92AF early version without the drop hammer from the 80s, Have shot very few rounds through it but the sear broke many years ago so it will not half cock or full cock.
I considered it a great firearm and shot several hundred rounds through it at the range. One day I was firing the gun and the spring and guide rod came through the frame rendering the gun useless. I sent it back and Taurus did replace it with a G2C in stainless. They also failed to send my case and magazines back with the exchange.
There was no mention of a recall or clear communication that I would not be receiving the same gun. Somewhat deceptive way of honoring your warranty but after reading the reviews I believe the new G2C to be a better firearm. Still not sure I would stake my life on it. Probably just be a plinking gun or a bartering tool down the road. I have the PT Pro 9mm. I purchased mine in at Academy. To find out it can go off at anytime is a little scary.
I just called Taurus just now. Good luck on getting another one. I sent my PT in three months ago per their request for replacement. They advised me that they only get a few guns per week for replacement and have no idea how long it will take for my replacement.
At this point I feel as if they have confiscated my gun. What good is a lifetime warranty if it takes a lifetime to get your gun and or replacement back. Who, what and where do you contact to get a replacement gun. I have a PT Never had a problem with it but the drip discharge makes it too dangerous to carry. How long does it take to get a replacement? One is the Titanium slide model the other is the steel slide model.
Never have had a self fire or drop fire issue. I even conducted head high drop tests on both with Snap Caps in the chamber.
Not one fired. However, I can replicate the safety problem you described by pulling the trigger to the firing point and engaging the safety only on the Titanium slide model which is the older of the two. The steel slide model will not allow the safety to engage. When I release the trigger on the steel slide model then the safety will fully engage and will not fire.
On the Titanium model, when performing the same test, by releasing the trigger also disengages the safety. However, I did experience different results with a round in the chamber and no magazine in the gun.
The trigger would then fire if pulled again. I agree that there is nothing wrong with either model and the problem obviously is an inexperienced shooter. There is no reason why anyone with any sense or experience would pull the trigger to the point of firing and simultaneously engage the trigger. The judge that ruled on the lawsuit obviously must have thought Taurus, or any other firearms manufacturer, should design guns that are stupid proof!
I have a mil pro pt bought it in 01 or Been carrying it for almost 20 yrs now. I have dropped it several times loaded with 1 in the chamber, never went off. Did jamb up naturally but never an issue with unintentional discharges. Always goes bang when I tell it to.
Sent it back once within a yr or so of owning for a spring issue, and mag release issue. They fixed both took wks. Which they did. I have a G2C manufactured in Jan , purchased on march 1 I have fired less than rounds at target practice since purchasing it.
This past Sunday July. When I release the trigger on the steel slide model then the safety will fully engage and will not fire.

This past Sunday July. Tried again and it failed again but after 2 to 3 seconds it fired on its own. As I kept it pointed down range at all times no one was injured. I was able to duplicate both the miss fire and self discharge again, so I safe milkthe gun. Once I got home I was able and am able to duplicate the failures numerous times. I contact Taurus Monday morning and they ask me to pay shipping cost to look at the gun and warranty it. I will contact a local gunship today.
