taurus pt 22 going full auto

[Guest highvoltage]

i purchased a Taurus pt -22 for my wife 6 weeks ago. after about 50 rounds the gun started shooting fully automatic. the gunsmith checked it out and called Taurus and had him try somethings we took it out today and it was fine for 20 rounds and then went back to full auto. any one had to deal with Taurus warranty what can i expect? or any ideas whats up with this little monster. the gun range i was at about freaked at the little pink fully auto pt-22. and my wife did to. not to mention its illegal in its current state.

hahaha....i couldnt imagine what a full auto pt-22 would be like...talk about a "pocket protector"....since its illegal to enjoy like it is I would definitely send it to Taurus ASAP. If you want to avoid there not so highly regarded customer service I would pm some of the hero gear guys or some of the mods of the NFA section to see if they have some ideas you could try to fix it.

magic that's what i had been told about there warranty. i did not think it would be possible for this thing to do what it does. most pt 22 i have read about jams. this one wont stop eating ammo at a speed i have never seen. sounds like a mad bee.

. any one had to deal with Taurus warranty what can i expect?

This happened a few years ago. I hope they have changed.

Be very careful, the ATF would love to make an example of you.

Think Olofson...

It's only firing "full-auto" if you're holding the trigger back the whole time. If you're releasing the trigger, it's slam firing. It could be caused by a gunked up firing pin channel. I've heard good things and bad things about Taurus's customer service. If it were me, I'd call Taurus myself and send it back.

thanks everyone for your help. the gun shop i bought it at is going to take care of sending it to Taurus for me. was just hopeful someone might have had this happen and knew a quick fix with out sending it back.

Just got a PT-22 back from Taurus, with excellent customer service, and repair of a Taurus PT-22. The gun had parts missing, and the pink faux pearl handles was cracked. Taurus fixed the gun in a timely manner, and did not charge me a dime. The only thing I didn't like was that you have to send the gun to them by an overnight shipper ( I used UPS) and it gets a little pricey. They will ship it back on their nickel though. I wanted the gun for my sweetie, and am very pleased with their service.
