Taurus tells you in the manual to use high velocity premium ammo only. It needs the warm ammo to blow the spent cases out . The light primer strikes may or may not have something to do with using bulk ammo.
RU-vid/google censorship has made it impossible to find disassembly/assembly videos or even pictures of these. I can't even find a picture with the grips off to see how the recoil springs work. They're different than the PT-22 and the Beretta 21A. They're captured and they don't use the guides like the others.
Hey look it's another Taurus Jam-O-matic pt-22, these are very ammo sensitive, mine likes CCI mini mags 40 grain round nose target. It only likes 6rnds in the mag 1 in the pipe and it wants to be clean, very clean, and oiled. Then and only then it will give a fairly decent performance.
Yeah, the PT-22 isn't bad, but it's nothing compared to the Bobcat. The single action makes a big difference too. Not sure why they got rid of that on the Taurus models. They pretty much had everything necessary, so it wouldn't have costed them much of anything at all to make them DA/SA. They even have a sear, but then the hammer doesn't have a face to engage with the sear. I'm not sure that point there is to have a sear without Single Action, because it could work just fine without one. Does it only stop the hammer from going too far forward when the slide is off or something like that? Having a hard time imagining the point of even having one without Single Action.
I have a collection of these I have the older pt22's and the newer ones with the poly frame and also have the berettas But out of all of them only one of the older pt22's does that and I've done everything to make it run right even changed out the firing pin twice but it still has light primer strikes I hope you can figure it out and keep us posted sir
Those fedarm primed casings are steel. Magnet sticks to em. Even my normal 1911 (stock mainspring) with a 22 conversion has a problem setting them off reliably.
Damn. Never heard that before. They were denting in a weird way, as if the metal didn't want to bend like brass does. I was kind of confused by that, because the dent is larger than the firing pin should be. Normally with brass, you can see the exact shape of the firing pin indented into the rim of the case.
Yeah, they even have a sear like the Bobcat does... but I'm not sure why. If there's no single action, then there's no need for the sear. Not sure if it just stops the hammer from being over-extended, but I'm not sure the hammer even has a sear face anywhere on it. As far as I know, the only mechanical face (except the pin hole and where it strikes the pin) is the Double Action face where the trigger bar cocks and releases it. I'm gonna have to take a look at that when I get to mess with one. (I'm sure I'll eventually come across one when someone I know has one break).
