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 .45 Auto pistol offers a solid option for shooters seeking a reliable duty or personal defense firearm. Its accuracy is commendable, delivering consistent performance at typical engagement distances, while the ergonomic grip design accommodates a variety of hand sizes, enhancing control during extended sessions. Reliability is a key asset, with the firearm functioning well under diverse conditions when properly maintained. However, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome, as disassembly and cleaning require extra attention to detail compared to simpler designs. Availability of replacement parts may also pose a challenge for some users, potentially leading to delays in repairs. The trigger pull is smooth with a moderate weight, providing a predictable break, though some may find it slightly long for rapid follow-up shots. Felt recoil is manageable for most, given the caliber, though newer shooters might notice it more during prolonged use.
