Bought new Tarus 24/7 It jams almost every time. I have shot it about 100 times the 1st 30 jammed every time now mabey 4 out of 15 jam. The clip is very hard to load. A guy on the police force said its caused by the clip.What do you all think. Thanks

If I were you I would take it back to the gun shop and return it for your full payment, including all fees. They won't want to reimburse you for the fees, but insist.
If they don't want to take responsibility for selling unserviceable goods, then they should sell goods that are serviceable.
OR................
They should take the gun and act as intermediary for you with the manufacturer. You shouldn't have to go it alone with a brand new gun. The dealer should be able to give you updates on the status of the manufacturer's progress in getting your gun back to you. If you feel you are getting the run-a-round, litigate in small-claims court. Litigate against the dealer and the manufacturer. Since you took possession of the gun in your city, you can argue that the chain of custody of the weapon ended with your purchase as the end-user. Therefore FOB point (where possession took place) is your city. That may keep the manufacturer on the hook in case he argues that he's not being sued in the correct venue.
If the gun's still bad after one trip to the manufacturer (estimated time 4-6 weeks or more), they should replace it and pick up all fees you would have to incur for that process.
- exactly which model?
- what caliber?
- what type ammo are you using?
- describe how it jams; e.g., failure to extract, failure to eject, failure to strip next round, close on empty case, failure to chamber new round, etc

Particularly with small, lightweight guns, if you don't grip the gun tightly, it will regularly jam.
Send it back to Taurus. Better them fix it, then you have to try to figure out what's wrong.
Just be glad that the gunmakers make a more consistent product than the automakers. Just look at all the recalls they put out.
taurus has a life time warrenty on there weapons if there is a problem they will fix it or give you a new gun. read your paperwork.and send it in.
You are absolutely right about the Lifetime Warranty,But some of there guns just cant be repaired ! I bought new, a Taurus PT-908
Compact Combat Auto, In 9MM Para. The repair facility in Miami,had my gun in their possession,longer than I had it in my possession !
they attampted to repair the gun Three times,to no avail, I sold that piece of junk,and vowed to never own another Taurus product.
My gun was having the same problems as Andre. and they never ever offered a replacement!!!
That should be the first thing you do! Is the pistol properly lubricated?

We all know that police officers are experts on all types of firearms!
