Don't buy Taurus!
I bought a brand new PT-22 as a birthday gift for my wife. We took it out to fire it and found that the firing pin would not strike the cartridge with enough force to cause detonation about 30% of the time. We tried different brand bullets with the same result. We also had a jam.
I returned the gun to Taurus and called a week later to check the status and was told that all repairs take 5-6 weeks. This is an outrage! Repair would be fine but this gun was defective right out of the box and should be replaced immediately.
Obviously I will never buy another Taurus! They are junk!

Taurus is ok. Not the greatest, but not bad for the price. Yes, they copy other firearms, but they also sell equivalent arms at very much lower prices. They fill a niche. They do back up their guns. If they are broken, Taurus fixes them. What ya want? Apologies and hand wringing? Prayers and miracles? Ease up. You get what you pay for, both performance wise and support wise. I have a few, I had to have one repaired, I'm satisfied. They are a decent company. Accept it. 0 -

Don't give up on Taurus...they REALLY are good guns....and a lot better than SOME out there. In the store we have had a few with minor issues and Taurus fixed them all with no questions or charge...even when it was stupid people that had "worked on" their own guns to the point of no return. Everything has a "dud" come along. The PT-22 is one of the better guns out there and a LOT of fun to shoot. You will be very happy when it comes back. Auto 22's don't really like the lead nose bullets is one tip I can give. I have sold many many many pt-22s and everyone loves those guns.
You know with all of the rigamaro guns have to go through to get into your posession....Taurus CAN'T just scrap out that gun and send you a replacement. I am shure they want to know why it is doing what it is as much as you do. I have gotten a nim rod on the phone when calling about a repair...you may have spoken to the same one and that person doesn't help at all....but Taurus is a good bunch and you should give the PT-22 another chance.

Friend blew up a Model 85 4" with a double load in .357Mag; Taurus didn't even flinch when he sent the pieces back to them, they sent him a new gun with the same serial number in 4 weeks!
1-2 day turnaround happens all the time; look how fast mail crosses the country![}:)]0
