Mag Tech.. We have reviewed all of your information that you have provided. We have come to the conclusion that this is a firearm issue, not an ammo issue.
So.. Taurus is going to take a look at the PT1911. Sending it in. I ask them to put all the used parts back in the gun and not to replace a thing if they are not broken and they feel nothing is wrong with the gun.

i would take a serious look at your index finger too [;)]

I would tell Taurus to keep the POS too.
Not trying to gouge you but even when a gun is left out and loaded I think it should be in a holster especially in a truck console where stuff is shifting around. A good holster keeps anything from touching the bang switch.
Another Piece of advice, and it free, if you are going to leave a gun loaded in your truck console go with a revolver in a holster. Many less things to go wrong. Taurus makes an OK revolver if you like that brand.
It is sad when a company allows their product quality to slip and erode whatever good reputation they enjoy, and have worked so hard to acquire. We in the U.S.A. are facing the same situation.

Shifting around? It is in the front compartment on top of a nice soft piece of cloth. Only thing in there with it is a leather wallet and a comb. Taurus firearms are warranted for life regardless if you buy one new.

Solid advice. If you have to keep a handgun in the console, it would not take much effort to mount a holster for the pistol in the console somewhere accessible. Then you can keep the 1911 cocked and locked with no worries![:)]
I still say it WAS the ammo, not the pistol,
Removed all MagTech ammo and contacted another ammo manufacturer for a possible answer.
random primer strikes found on the net
i make no claim to the text
Just get a old j frame or even a Da only pistol...and that way when you go pistolwhip the rent out of somebody...you dont shoot up the glove box.

I do not have an answer for what I have read about the glove box discharge.
I just hope that you will make this as much of a learning experience as I have.
