About the Gun

The striker-fired PT-24/7 pistol features an injection molded polymer frame, a frame-mounted manual safety lever, a visible/tactile loaded chamber indicator and a dust cover Picatinny accessory rail. Handling characteristics of 24/7 pistols are enhanced by ergonomic design attributes which Taurus calls 'Memory pads', consisting of various grooves which promote proper consistent hand placement for superior handling control. In addition, a secure grasp of the pistol grip is afforded by a high adhesion gripping surface. An option on selected basic 24/7 pistols and standard on Pro models is a soft, ribbed, non-slip, hand-conforming grip which Taurus calls the ‘Ribber’.

Analysis

This compact .40 S&W pistol offers a solid blend of features for both novice and experienced shooters. Its accuracy is commendable, delivering consistent groupings at typical defensive ranges, while the ergonomic grip design enhances control and comfort during extended sessions. Reliability is a strong suit, with the firearm performing well under varied conditions, provided regular maintenance is upheld. However, upkeep can be somewhat demanding, as disassembly and cleaning require attention to detail. Availability of replacement parts may pose a challenge for some users, potentially leading to delays in repairs. The trigger pull is smooth with a moderate weight, aiding in precision, though it might feel slightly heavy for those accustomed to lighter mechanisms. Felt recoil is manageable for the caliber, though shooters with smaller hands or less experience may find it a bit sharp, necessitating proper grip technique for optimal handling.
