Thinking of picking up a Taurus 24/7 G2 9mm

[Wicked98Snake]

Anyone had any experience with this gun? Gun has only had 60 rouns through it and I'm getting what I think is a good deal, just don't know anyone who has had one.

No, but my 709 slim is pretty picky about ammo

Same frame and action setup as previous model other than the trigger (stole Glocks design) and a few eyeball changes. I have a 24/7 .45 and have NEVER had an issue with it as far as ammo although mine is "last years" model.

Just my .02.....really only worth .01 though

edit: Is this the one on THF? Guy wants $350 so not a bad deal but the one below it (S&W M&P .40 Cal) for $450 would probably be a better deal although I do understand it is $100 difference, might be worth it...comes with extra mags too

BTW, these are not my guns but for about the same price you get better quality and re-sale value compared to the Taurus. Check this one out, the new M&P Sheild in 9mm for $432....NIB not bad

Thanks for the reply. Yeah it's the one on THF and I talked him a bit lower than that. I saw the M&P but it's a .40 and I was wanting a 9MM. I'm still on the fence so I'll do some more thinking

Dont get me wrong, I love my Taurus and part of that is the price. They are less expensive and better looking than most guns in the same price range and their quality has improved alot. The main complaint I hear and have myself is the trigger quality...The only one I have purchased and did not like was a Taurus 24/7 OSS Tactical that was just too heavy in the front...

The 9mm is almost the same price as .40 so I am not sure if that would be a concern unless you are using the round for something specific but for cost, I would not worry. If cost is a concern, get a .22

Anyways, good luck and if you get that Taurus down to around $300....jump on it because at that price, you cant go wrong

LOL how old is that picture?

I have owned nothing but Taurus for awhile now although I have had the chance to shoot several guns, I have to say for the price you cannot beat the Taurus. Their 24/7 frame was gun of the year in 2006. They have some issues with their firearms like the 738 slide not locking back after the last round...maybe it is not as accurate as another firearm but I have never seen anything that resembled the gun pictured above.

I know they also have the ability to produce every part in house. This goes for every firearm they manufacture hence the ability to keep the cost down. In this case, with Taurus, the price is NOT reflective of the quality. Just my opinion but when I see the same stories or pictures posted (not speaking directly to you Alex) and it has been the same stories or pictures for some time, I had to say something lol.

Can companies not change for the better?


edit: I will say their 1911 frame guns are WAY closer to a higher end 1911 than their polymer guns are to other polymer guns

Sure can't.

[YALE]

Ahem...

The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of a low price is forgotten.

[Gtracer]

Sure can't.

Well at least it isnt a high point.....damnit

Ironic name alert!

That's the funny thing about cheap stuff. People who choose to buy it will defend it as "just as good as..." until it blows up in their face.

I'm sure this has been the same refrain for many of the Glock Kaboom owners. And they aren't necessarily cheap by comparison.

Earth to gun owners: hot reloaded .40 and a non fully supported chamber can cause, problems. It's not just a glock thing.

Ive put thousands of rounds through glocks with no problem.

I bought a 24/7 pro for one reason . I don't want a $1500 dollar gun bouncing around in my trucks door pocket . It's fired every round I feed it and hits what I point it at . Are there better guns , yes. Is it a pile of smoking shit , no. It's like the mustang of sports cars, cheap but it gets the job done .
