Called today to check on status, first thing they asked was do you have an ro# i said no they told me i did not need one.

asked for my zip code gave him that and then i asked do you want my name, that worked found me in the system (GO FIGURE)

Told me about 3 weeks a smith would be able to look at it, this thread will doc the date for me..

I do not care about the time as long as they correct the gun..

So i will have to keep tabs on them..

They will fix it but they can be slow and drawn out.

If you do not like where you are going in a few weeks ask to speak to a manager and they

will get it corrected and shipped back. I have never had to send one back and have owned quite a few

but some friends of mine did and that is what they had to do.

Good luck Tony

thanks TB.

I am patient, After all i have owned it for a long time and never fussed with it, so if it took me all these years to send it in what is a few weeks..But if it were my only handgun i might be doing BACKFLIPS..

Well atleast your not bad mouthing the gun to death. I hate posts where all it does is beat on the gun. Every company has problems with some guns lol. I own two taurus. 1: Because I like what they have to offer. 2: I am not rich or even near to it and these gun are cheap and do exactly what I want them to do..

 

Good luck with the gun hope it works out for ya and I hope I never have to send mine in lol

one week down.

one week down.

 

might not hurt to give them a call, who knows, it might be ready and it's on her way home.

I certainly thought you would have your Taurus back before RayRay got his Charter Arms Southpaw back...

So did I! Sent it on a Friday and got it back the following Thursday.

called today and it was shipped in the morning and should be here tomorrow.

hey maks will have to give it a whirl again tomorrow, maybe you will hit some paper this time.

I will be honored.... as long as you give it the first shot. Dont want to be your test pig.

Or have it blow up in your face

still shoots low, no repair. that wasted 40 buck's.. say's on repair that they adjusted front site and it is non adjustable.. you would have to cut off the site to repair it.

 

I was just looking into another 1911 by taurus and this may change my mind. I am sending a letter to taurus and see what their response is.

I always liked Taurus but for their 1911 price point you can get a low line Kimber for $50.00 to $100.00 more it's a no brainier for me. When they 1st released the PT1911 they had a modest price point of around $495-$550.00 not anymore. Their customer service sucks it always has, your letter will end up in the trash, call them. I love all my Taurus pistols and revolvers but I have a specific price point I would not go over with them.

I have had the PT1911 in my hand a number of times....

 

For reasons like this thread I refuse to buy it..... Customer service is worth $$$$ .

 

I will keep to my S&W's ......

I gave them a shot, after reading all the pro's and con's especialy on 1911.org their is more bad than good about their repair facility.. looks like i will have to repair it myself. their lifetime warranty repair is basicly useless one less selling point once you know the truth.

I am going to have to shoot it out of a rest and figure out how much taller the rear site needs to be, remove it, measure the dove tail and order a sight for it.

How can they say they fixed it if they didn't. They should pay the shipping and get it right.

 

67GTO you can never go wrong with a S&W.

That sucks B@lls tony, hopefully Charter doesn't screw me since I have almost the same problem.
