I bought a brand new Taurus PT 1911 last week as a plinker for the summer, until I can make my mind up on which "custom" I want to order and then wait for 3-6 months until it is done. I took the Taurus out shooting today, after 30 rounds it stove pipes. I eject, rechamber, stove pipe. I eject the magazine, and the shell and look in the chamber. What do I see? A broken extractor. It was broken right off. So, I called Taurus and they say they will fix it, but it will be 4-6 weeks turn around time. I think I should have just not shot .45 this summer. Anybody else have any similar experiences with Taurus?
