I was able to fire a few rounds of Winchester White Box 230 grain ball ammo through the replacement PT 1911. All fired casings looked fine to me. There is definitely a problem (in my opinion) with some of the Taurus that have been shipped. I hope everyone that has a PT 1911 checks their fired casings. I would bet that ultimately there will be a recall on some of these pistols. Apparently my original one wasn't the only one that got out. I have no idea why this wasn't caught in the test firing supposedly done at the factory. They may fire the pistols but someone didn't look at the casings.
