Taurus Guy - The Firearms Forum

Taurusguy · 09-30-2011, 06:43 PM

Just placed my 2nd order with Luckygunner.com for 100 rds. of Winchester Whitebox 9mm and .40 each + 50 rds. for my .380. $63 ammo & freight. I consider that to be a heck of a deal, especially since they have been in stock for both of my orders.

Since I may have helped one of you to save a little money, I am having feeding problems with my new Taurus .380....... is there anyone out there who would be willing to weigh in on any positive experiences with .380 target ammo or self-defense ammo.

My LCP handles everything I run through it, WW white box target to Hornady HP defense ammo. You might have to send it back to the factory to get the feed ramp smoothed or the mag lips adjusted.

My wifes CZ83 eats it all too and doesnt ever get hiccups.

My CZ83 eats everything. It would probably even chamber a rock and shoot out a bullet. My Sig 238 ate everything but was a little picky on firing Hornady A TAP. My dads Sig 232 eats everything. Which Taurus do you have?

My little Sig P238 has eaten every thing I have fed it so far. I did just sent it back to Sig for some trigger work, it had an 8 lb trigger pull on it!!

If you a problem with your Taurus pistol, you send it back to Taurus. I don't know of a gun smith that will work on them, outside of the factory. I have the PT-58 in .380, no problem with the feeding of ammo, but it shoots low, from up close, and the further out you move the target, the lower it shoots.

I have been looking at the CZ 83. A fine piece, and from all I have read has just been confirmed by the posts above.
