Yes. Take the gun to have it evaluated. Anything that is bent, broken, buckled, distorted, cracked, out of tolerance or otherwise unserviceable should be corrected.

I don't know how the Sportsman's Warehouse is where you are at but the one I "not so often go to anymore" will tell you to deal with Taurus.

Somehow I knew you would jump in on this. I can still say, my Taurus 66 is on it's 21st year, and still has not had a major problem.

My wife has a Taurus 9mm pt 111. It had a trigger which became progressively worse. I field stripped it and couldn't find anything wrong so she took it to a well known Taurus gunsmith. He worked it over before finding a cracked sear. It went off to the Taurus Motherland in Miami and after 10 weeks it returned fixed. The trigger job had to be redone and it is now a very sweet shooting DAO pistol.

The smith said that when he talked to Taurus he was reading between the lines and apparently there is a silent recall on this weapon. They did make it right.

Silent recall? What good is that?
