The PT-145- An experiment in Taurus QC
My Father in Law had a couple of the first generation guns. They were reasonably accurate, but neither would light off a primer every time. The first one he had would fail to ignite at least one out of every magazine. It made a trip to Taurus on the slow boat, finally came back with no report on work done and not much if any better. He liked the gun, we tried all kinds of factory and my handloads with no luck.
Finally he traded it in on another one, with about the same results. This one would only missfire occasionally, but would still do it. It is long gone too.
