Picked up an unfired Taurus PT138 a while back from a form member, it was around a year old but never fired.
Took it to the range to pop the cherry well i put several mags through it and had about 20 persent of the rounds that would have a light primer strike and not fire, jack another shell in and away we go again until the next one. Put about 60 through it and had around 20 that didn't go off.
Took it home and stripped it including removing the firing pin and cleaned it really good, oiled liberally and took it back to the range put a couple of mags through it with no poblems but then about the third mag it started all over again
Called Taurus about having them fix it and all that did was piss me off but that's another story.
Anybody else out there had this problem? i'm thinking it has a week recoil spring that's causing the barrel to not seat all the way.
Thanks,
Steve,
