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 9mm compact pistol offers a solid blend of features for both novice and experienced shooters. Its accuracy is commendable, delivering consistent groupings at moderate ranges, while the ergonomic grip design enhances control and comfort during extended use. Reliability is a strong point, with the firearm performing well under varied conditions, even with budget ammunition. The trigger pull is smooth, averaging around 5 pounds in double-action mode, though some may find the transition to single-action slightly less crisp. Felt recoil is moderate for its class, manageable for most users with proper grip technique. On the downside, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome due to a complex disassembly process, which may frustrate those unfamiliar with the design. Additionally, sourcing replacement parts can be challenging in certain regions, potentially delaying repairs. Overall, it’s a capable choice, though not without minor hurdles for upkeep.
