The Taurus 24/7 Auto pistols.

[R2me24]

Thinkin about buyin a 24/7 .40 for a carry/home defense gun. I have been reading about a lot of people talking about them jamming and dont want it to jam when I really need it. Most of the jams are happening with the .45 but I was just wondering if this would be a good purchase. I dont plan on spendin more than $450 on a gun and am looking for a reliable comfortable gun. anybody?

[squirrelbaster]

try takeing a look at some cz75, or the witness.

the owners will work with the manufacturer to correct the problem.

Accepting jamming as a somewhat normal experience is not valid for a gun upon which you might someday stake the life of yourself and/or your family.

The good old rattling army .45 of WW2 may have not been the most accurate of sidearms but it functioned in combat where it mattered.

[BIGDIX]

buy the 9, or the 40. the 45 is the one with the probs.

I love my 24/7 .45. It points naturaly, and after I got rid of the bad mag I haven't had any more problems.

Today, I hit the the bull eye several time at 20 feet, much better result with my trigger squeeze. I heard many people say the Taurus shoots low, I used to think like that before, today I think it 's not the gun that shoot low, it's the person that shoots.

I would say you are probably right the vast majority of the time, however now and then you find a gun that does indeed shoot low, shoots left, whatever. Most of the time adjusting the sights will clear it up. And then every so often you find one that has problems.

I just bought a 24/7 OSS that shot low and left for me. With my Kimber 1911 i can get decent groupings at 10 to 15 yards, but the OSS just would not do it for me. A fellow shooting with me that day who happens to be a local policeman tried it and got the same results, yet he can take my 1911 and rapid fire some really nice groups.

So while most of the time it is shooter error, now and then it is the gun...

I love my Taurus 24/7 Pro. I've put over 500 rounds thru mine without one hiccup. The accuracy starts to fade after 35 or 40 feet. Very happy with the gun. Easy to disassemble and clean. The sights are nice, easy target aquisition. Nice grips. Alot of nice features. Every once in awhile though, the mag gets "caught up" when trying to eject, it'll come out, just feels tight. Only thing I can find "wrong" with it.

I just bought one and lovin it so far will let you know after i put more rounds through it

I just reached 1000 rounds last week, so i finally decided to clean it for the first time.

Yeah I'm bad about cleaning my firearms. Anyways through 1000. NO JAMS. NO MISFIRES. NO PROBLEMS!

The trigger is a little looser than most hanguns I've shot, but this is a quality firearm. I own the 9mm and consistanly score 100's at 7 yards, and in the high 90's at 14 yards.

It takes a lot of shooters a lifetime to realize this. Low hangun shots are the result of jerking the trigger. Most will blame the handgun. Once you realize its you, not only will you become a better shooter but, rapid fire (learning to catch the sear and squeeze again) becomes second nature.

The sights on these guns shoot dead on, not 6'oclock, just as many others, but so many think all guns should shoot a 6'oclock. See if these two items will help. Correct sight is on left.

Just bought my G/F a 24/7 9mm Compact...after her checking out a LOT of different pistols. I'll pick it up after the waiting period and take her to the range...will give update then

I have a 24/7 45 and I'm lovin it. Just one question though, does anyone make accessories for this? I cant find any products specific to the 24/7. Am I just not looking in the right places or is this still to new a product? I was just wanting to spend a little money on the toys, night sights, lasers etc.

I have a Taurus PT 24/7 Pro in .45. Best auto I've ever owned. Had a jamming problem...until I realized that to function properly, 185-grain or lower just doesnt cut it for this gun. Why even HAVE a .45, and then shoot 9mm rounds in it? A .45 aint the gun for everyone....It's a lot of pistol. Had to get used to the Heinie/Straight 8 sighting system. (You gotta hold dead on instead of a 6 o'clock hold, else you be shootin' low) I practice with, (and carry) 230-grain Hydra-Shocks, or Cor-Bon. It works for me. A little more expensive to practice with, but if the SHTF, I don't want any suprises, when I pull that trigger. What's that saying...."Train like you fight"?......Nuff Said. Happy shootin, ya'all

Hey, bro!. I bought lighting for my 24/7 .45. Springfield Arms has a light that clips on underneath on the rail. They also have several diff brands of Lasers, in red or green. They start at like 70 bucks, and as in anything, ya pay for what ya get. No after-market low light sights as of yet. But it's a relatively new gun. I'm sure something will come out. Happy Shootin!

That's what me & the g/f were talking about also...it has an accessory rail so you can put almost anything on it...but she wants an Intergral Rod Laser in GREEN...so we haveta wait until someone makes them in Green, and for the 24/7
