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 .40 S&W pistol offers a solid option for shooters seeking a balance of performance and practicality. Its accuracy is commendable, delivering consistent groupings at moderate ranges, while the ergonomic design ensures a comfortable grip for most hand sizes, aiding in control during extended sessions. Reliability is a strong point, with the firearm functioning well under varied conditions when properly maintained. However, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome, requiring more effort than some competing models to disassemble and clean. Availability of replacement parts may also pose a challenge, potentially delaying repairs. The trigger pull is smooth with a predictable break, though some users might find it slightly heavier than preferred for quick follow-up shots. Felt recoil is manageable for the caliber, though less experienced shooters might notice a sharper kick compared to lighter loads. Overall, it’s a capable choice with considerations for upkeep.
