I actually have the same issue and from what I have read it is the mags, I guess they just pick two random mags and throw them in the box. I am contacting Taurus today about what I can do about this. I am assuming because there are so many mags produced mine must just be duds.

Bear in mind that I am old, and my memory is not to be trusted, but...

I seem to remember that there are two different versions of this gun, and that the magazine which fits one version does not fit the other.
The manufacturer shipped some older-version magazines out with newer-version pistols...or the other way around.

Of course, with my aged memory, I could be full of bull-puckey...

It' s the newer younger models that are not to be trusted.

...The newer, younger models of people? Or of the guns?

What was it we used to say, back in the '60s?
Something like "Never trust anybody under the age of 30"?
Naaaah—that wasn't it.

Lol, Both guns n people generally speaking, there are always exceptions ,don't we know.
I'm shocked how you could pull that info out of your memory ,referring to the magazine issue above.
You might want to start deleting some of the information off of your hard drive(brain)

Hmmmmm.......Taurus packing the wrong mags in with their guns?

Why am I not surprised?

Nowadays, my brain is so full of old facts that every new addition causes me to lose something learned previously.
Yeaterday, I was at the supermarket, and I happened to glance over at The National Enquirer headlines, and—Bingo!—Plane Geometry disappeared forever!

Lol, great sense of humor, thank you.
At least your thoughts are being properly stored and retrieved when called upon.
There are those who, myself included,lol, where the words come right out of their A$$,lol..
Could that be from an improper filing system?

I am curious with all the bashing you do what, pray tell, is your choice of firearm??

Maybe a Llama??

When it comes to semi-autos, I'd be happy with either a Beretta or a Sig. What the Hell, an HK even.

Revolvers? Definitely a S&W.

Forgive me: The urge was too great to resist.

I think Lima has strict rules prohibiting such.
