Back in June of 2000 I bought 9mm Taurus Millennium pistol to use for home defense and camping (tent). When we gave up the tent in 2003 in favor of a trailer for traveling the country, that Millennium usually went with us.
Last year I stumbled onto an article that mentioned a recall on that firearm because it wasn’t drop safe. Unfortunately the recall window closed back in Feb 2018. No big deal to me because I had put thousands of rounds through the pistol without any issues. This year I decided to retire the Millennium and I bought a Taurus G2c pistol to replace it.
Sunday I was looking at the manual that came with the Millennium and noticed it had a lifetime warranty and I had actually sent in the warranty card when I bought it. Monday I called Taurus to see if I could send it back to them for repair under the lifetime warranty. NOPE, they won’t repair it BUT they would send me a new G2c as a replacement. The Millennium pistol would then be destroyed. Since I already have a G2c I guess I could sell the one they send me.
I’m actually torn between keeping the Millennium or sending it in for destruction. Sending it in feels like I’m sending a close friend to a retirement home where he will be euthanized. I’m still debating what I want to do.
