I just looked at a Taurus 24/7 in 40 S&W that has an extended slide and barrel - it is very similar to a G35 or a XD Tactical. It was new and priced at $399. It felt really good and boy is that price right!



Is anyone competing with this Taurus 24/7 in 9mm or 40? Are any gunsmiths working on these yet?

Wow - no comments?

I handled a 24/7 OSS at the SHOT Show. Seemed like a well made gun with a good trigger for Production.

Taurus doesn't seem to have a huge following around here so this gun probably hasn't been handled or shot by too many of the forum members. The 24/7 and their new 1911 do look promising but I don't have any experience shooting either of them.

Hopefully we will get a range report from someone soon who can answer some of your questions.

Any updates? I know when I looked into the 24/7 awhile ago the "Pro" version with the SA/DA trigger wasn't on the approved list.

But, if I'm understanding the OSS system correctly, the safety/thumb lever acts as a traditional safety and as a decocker so the gun can be "cocked and locked" or carried hammer-down for a DA shot. Is this correct?

Anyway, here's what the rules say:

24/7, 817, 827, M66, P945, PT100, PT101, PT111, PT140, PT145, PT911, PT92, PT940, PT945, PT99
C Models not allowed. Any DAO or DA/SA revolver with a barrel length of up to 8.5" is approved. All listed models must be DAO, DA/SA or with a decocker only.

Anyway, I'm assuming the "decocker only" ruling will keep the OSS or the other longslide variants from making it.

Too bad, since the new 9mm OSS might be an interesting gun to try.

I can't speak for the Pro or Long slide, but I have a 24/7 and the thumb safety is not a decocker.

I'm not very happy with this gun, especially for competition. It's not very accurate, and the DA/SA trigger makes for a really long take up. I plan on trading it for a M&P 9L as soon as one hits the shelves in my area.

Just my $.02

I have two 24/7. The most recent purchase was the long slide. One is my house gun, and the other is my truck gun. I have shot the short barreled 24/7 in IDPA, but not often. I love to shoot these guns. HOWEVER, I have to agree that the accuracy leaves alot to be desired. At self-defense distances, I consider them acceptable, but beyond 10yds...........no. You can't get adjustable sights for them, no one is making aftermarket accessories for them.

I suppose this is the trade off you make when you pay $200 less than an XD or M&P.

What kind of inaccuracy are we talking about? Can you keep 10-12 rounds in the "A" zone at 25 yards slowfire?

NO

Even with my bad eyes, I can group about 3-4" at 25yds with my .40 S&W SVI Limited gun. With the either Taurus 9mm with handloads or WWB, it grouped about 3 times that. Most of the shots could be covered with your hand, but it had flyers out a ways.

i would like to see some groups shot from a machine rest before i would say the gun was totally inaccurate.

Taran Bulter seemed to shoot it pretty swiftly.

I looked seriously at that Taurus at both the NRA show and SHOT show as a future Production gun. Since then I ended up getting
the SIG but would still like to shoot a Taurus myself to see if one belonged in my collection. It sure felt good in my hand.

I hate pretty much all things Taurus. One of my guys purchased a 24 7 in 45 acp as a duty gun. After just 6 months the mag springs went bad and the pistol would not feed until the springs were replaced. Not a confidence builder. Stay away from Taurus guns. There are far better choices out there.
