Brands aside, this ain’t cool…
I finally got my SO comfortable carrying her pistol around with her instead of leaving it at her apartment, small win, the next step is getting her more proficient with it.
We ended up taking an unexpected trip to the range with her family this past weekend, so I wanted her to run some ammo through her Taurus G2C and see what needed to be worked on.

“It broke”
Slide is locked back on a partial mag… maybe it was the grip? Send the slide home and have her shoot it again. Grip is right, slide locks back. Maybe the mag is in a bind? *removes mag, fires one round*
Slide locks back.
The dang paper clip thin spring that holds the slide stop down broke, and with the recoil was going up and engaging. This gun does not have 100rds on it. Called Taurus to no avail, they don’t have the part currently but I can send it in and wait till they do, but no lead time on that. Somebody on the forum have a couple?
I’m thinking after this, she is going to get a 365 for her birthday. I get stuff happens but that could have been a disaster if she actually had to use it.
So here it sits and will continue to sit till I find the part I need.
