I just traded into a Taurus PT 24/7 PRO in .40 S&W today, and thought I'd share my own impressions.
It is an interesting little beast. Stainless slide and polymer frame with Heine Straight 8 sights factory installed. Trigger action is DA/SA, though not in the traditional sense. If the slide is cycled (as in normal loading) then it is a SA trigger pull, lots of take-up but a rather crisp 6 lbs (as measured in repeated tests on my RCBS premium gauge). If the slide hasn’t been cycled, as in a failure to fire, then the pistol offers a long, though smooth, DA pull measured at 7lbs. There is also a manual safety, up for safe-down for not, easily reached with the thumb.
The pistol was fired for accuracy, off-hand at 15 yards with CCI Blazer 155TC, and PMC 165 JHPs. Results were promising, with the PMC load delivering neatly rounded groups of 1.5” while the Blazer ran just a bit over 2”.
These pistols are also supposed to be available in 9mm and .45ACP. Personally, I can’t wait to try one in 9mm, as I think these are a good improvement over the older, DAO, 24/7s.
