Why was Taurus pt145 recalled?
The recall applies to nine different Taurus models. The lawsuit, which was filed in a federal court in Florida, alleged that the pistols contained a safety system defect that caused them to inadvertently fire when they were jarred or dropped. The final settlement of that lawsuit is still pending.
Is Taurus G2C drop safe?
When it comes to safety mechanisms, the G2C is “loaded”! It has an internal striker block that keeps the firing pin from moving forward unless the trigger is pulled. This prevents accidental discharge if the gun were to be dropped.. Using a manual safety is a personal preference but I like them.
What kind of gun is a Taurus 22?
The Taurus PT-22 is a compact .22 LR pistol that is designed for use as a backup gun for police officers and others and for concealed carry usage. The Taurus PT-22 is a semi-automatic pistol that works on a blowback action with a pop up barrel. The pistol has a spurless exposed hammer and fires only double action.
How tall is the Taurus PT-22 pocket pistol?
The predecessor to the Taurus 22PLY, the PT-22 is an extremely compact pocket pistol chambered in .22 long rifle. Featuring a black alloy frame, the gun sits at just over four inches tall with a 5.25-inch length. The 2.75-inch barrel works well if you intend to take the “pocket gun” label to heart.
Where are the safety controls on a Taurus 22?
The Taurus PT-22 is an easy to operate pistol. On the left side of the gun are three controls: the safety, magazine release, and barrel release. With the controls being on the left side this would make the pistol difficult to operate for left handers. The two position safety located near the back of the slide hit both positions securely.
What’s the weight of a Taurus Mod.2?
The PT-22 used for this review came in at a 10-pound trigger pull. Compared to my usual carry gun — a Springfield Mod.2 with a weight of 6.5 to 7 pounds — this was a major departure. Making up for the lack of a lightweight trigger, the Taurus uses the always intriguing tip-up barrel, reminiscent of the Beretta 21 Bobcat.
