Picked up a Taurus 942 in 22LR last week. Everything looked good until I loaded it and attempted to fire it. Dang thing would not fire.  Firing pin barely touches the rim. Change ammo with the same results. Pin barely stick out. Sent a service request to Taurus asking them to just send me a firing pin. They want me to send it back. Looked at Numrich for a firing pin. No luck.  Plan to remove the side plate and look around tomorrow. Expecting the gun to work I took pictures! They follow. I'll snap and post a few more as I take it apart. |

That's my biggest, long-standing complaint against Taurus. Instead of sending a $3. part thru the mail they demand the gun goes across the country. Last time for me it was a spring. Not much fitting to that.
Every time I discussed it with them shipping was on my dime too.
As much as I like some of their guns, I will not touch them now because of that.

This being a new gun I am sure they will pop for shipping both ways. I had no luck with them recently when I wanted to have them have a look at my Rossi 59 22 mag pump rifle. Got nowhere with Taurus because the rifle was made before Taurus took the whole thing over.
When I talked directly to Rossi, they said ship it back, on my dime.
About 10 days later it showed up on my doorstep! Took it out, no letter, no list of parts or repairs. I called them and got, "oh we didnt touch it, too old". Thanks...

I can vouch that they will not touch anything imported by Interarms. Ran into that also. Nor will they send a part to a local certified gunsmith (that sells new Taurus guns). After a somewhat heated discussion they refered me to EBAY and GunBroker for used parts. I have had 3 customer service calls in to Taurus,,,,,,, 3 BAD calls. Won't happen again. |
