So my wife bought a Taurus pt745 pro Millennium .45 a couple of weeks ago. We took it to the range & fired about 20 rounds through it & it jammed a lot. We took it back to the dealer & they said it needed to have at least 100 rounds through it before the jamming went away. I doubted this as I had ZERO problems with my Ruger when I bought it new 20 some odd years ago... They also told us we needed to have the gun very firmly into the webbing of our hand & that would help... It does jam more for my wife than me, not sure what that means. Back to the range today & 200 rounds later it's still jamming. I'm heading back to dealer mon with it & just wanted to make sure their excuse about it needed broken in was bs or not...Any ideas?? Sorry, the jamming is failure to feed. it ejects fine, but won't feed the next round in.

I've never own a Tauris but from what I've seen they don't do a great job when it comes to fit/finish.
Are you trying to feed hollow points or ball ammo?
Is it stove piping or just not picking up the next round?
Most of the time the feed ramp is the problem when it would feed hollow points, it your having the same problem with ball ammo the feed ramp it really in need of tuning.
If your just not picking up the next round it's typically the magazine.
I don't get why you should have to cycle 100rds through it to get it to function, it should work straight out of the box. Maybe the dealer thinks any burrs left from manufacturing gun will be worn/smothed out.
How firm or tight you hold the grips has nothing to do with how the gun cycles, once you pulled the trigger it should operate without any issue.
Personally I'd ask for my money back or exchange it for a Colt or Sig.
Ball ammo both new & remanned. I agree on the grip issue... Also on the it should work out of the box issue. Not sure about stove piping, it basically just doesn't want to feed the next round in.

no problem at all ejecting, just the two mags it came with. One website forum had the problem listed & said the mag should have either 8 or 10 coils, these have 13. It's going back, I certainly don't trust it, & it should fire out of the box for cripes sake....

The last 2 mags of 6 we fired yesterday had 8 - 10 mis feeds.

seriously, it's a taurus, it's crap. they don't even use the same parts, even when copying a design (1911's)
You have to send it back to the manufacturer for warranty then sell the piece of crap
of course, by the time you get it back you won't be able to do private sales in colorado without a whole lot of hassle. Welcome to Taurus. Motto: cheap crap and we know it.
