I like em. just saw they they discontinued the 24/7 pro compact in.40. i was thinking about getting one eventually.
I like the idea of what they got going, those new G2 24/7's look like a good idea, pretty much "glock" like with a decocker/safety, also the TCP and 709 slim catch my eye, but after shooting a pt101, and having the take down lever break off and go 4 feet down range totally turned me off...
I bought my wife a 709/Slim about a month ago. She has small hands and after trying out a bunch of guns over the last 6 months she liked it the best. I took it to the range and shot it side by side with a Keltec PF9. I have to say I really like the gun a lot. I like it so much in fact that I am going to have to get myself one in stainless. I have almost 400 rounds down it and so far it has worked flawlessly.

I absolutely freakin' LOVE my Taurus 24/7 Pro .45!!! Reliability-wise you can put it up against the best of them. Don't forget that the 24/7 Pro was the NRA's pistol of the year in 2005..and was the platform Taran Butler used when he broke the Steel Challenge world record by hitting four, 12" targets from 30' at the World Speed Shooting Championship (in .97 seconds!!). Oh yeh I almost forgot, throughout the entire competition more than 10,000 malfunction-free rounds (Winchester) were fired through the 24/7 Pro...now that's a work horse!
And when it comes to metallurgy, Taurus actually is in the top tier of ALL firearms manufacturers. These guys know their steel better than most! They even make the CNC machines that make their parts. Throw in an Unlimited Lifetime Warranty and you've got a match made in heaven. I really don't see why so many folks talk down on them when they are one of the best firearms manufacturers worldwide! Too funny...go on ahead and save up for that Sig, or that H&K...meanwhile I'll just walk into Academy with $350, walk out with a G2 and be shooting before you're even done googling for that magical rollmark!
