Re: Tauras PT 24/7 Pro, any experience?

My wife selected a Taurus PT24/7 Pro C DS in stainless steel for purse carry. It is striker fired with a manual safety / decocker. Double strike capability is a definite plus. Loaded chamber (visual and tactile) and striker cocked (visual only) indicators are nice. Capacity is 13 or 17 round 9mm and the grip is fairly full even with the 13-round mags. The grip is also a rubberized material which is very comfortable and probably absorbs some recoil. It has the Taurus locking system if you need that and the resting place on the frame to keep your finger off the trigger until you need to use the gun.

She has several hundred rounds through it mostly reloads, but some 124+P personal defense rounds as well without a hiccup. We have been very impressed with this $329 pistol and would not hesitate to recommend.

I am not crazy about pulling the trigger to disassemble (same as most other striker fired pistols). I do not use this pistol because the manual of arms is very different from our HKs. (You cannot rack the slide with the safety on, the safe position and decock action are both upwards motions from the fire position which means that the pistol goes to safe when decocked). Also, I shoot lefty and the PT24/7 Pro C is not ambi except that the mag release can be switched, but the safety / decocker is righty only as far as I know. Since I mostly shoot the HKs, the Taurus trigger feels great, although nowhere as good as the Kahr MK9. ;-)
