I have the same problem. Currently one of my magazines has been sent back to Taurus for replacement. It has been over two months and no magazine so I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and Taurus Brazil.

Good news! I got tired of waiting and tonight did two things to the magazine I have that only allows 8 rounds in the magazine to feed properly. I used a Dremel with a pointed grinding stone and grinded the upper portion of the magazine on both sides at the point where the upper lip begins. Then I removed the spring and noticed is was out of alignment. I twisted the spring until it was straight and then pulled on the spring to lengthen it. Success! I put ten round in 3 times in a row and successfully ejetced all ten round without a jam. CAUTION. I found it is very beneficial to use the magazine loader that comes with PT145. It appears to do a better job of loading the ammo then if doing it by hand.
