My understanding is that the newer ones had several issues addressed.
My 1st gun was a pt92 beretta clone. Was a terrible shot with it... Moved on and got a beretta cougar in 45. Not much better shot. So I found a great deal on a fm high power, and suddenly I could hit anything at any distance.
Had a few taurus and beretta guns since. Only one I have kept is the raging bull in 44mag. Very nice gun, well made, well fitted, good trigger and it is accurate. I had a pt11 and did not care for it. I would not bother with a taurus semi again, better stuff out there, coughglockcough.
I do like the polymer revos, might ride better IWB??
As for the judge, not much point shooting 454 out of it, as the rifling is not as pronounced as a real gun, and not as accurate. They had to put some rifling in there as you cannot sell a "pistol" shotgun with a barrel under 18". They shoot 410 buckshot the best from what I have seen.

Looks like a Glock, an M&P and an H&K had a little 3-way par-tay one night... just sayin
I own three Taurus handguns along with my Smiths, Glocks, Rugers, etc. All are fine guns. Have a PT 140, PT 145 and PT 1911. All have been flawless. Just my 2 cents. I would like to get another PT 145 by the end of the year to keep in my truck.
I guess I got a few good ones and have not had to use their warranty service so far.

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.
Good to know!
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!

I make a very sincere applaud to you sir for using the search function. I actually haven't seen the 24/7 pro and now that you have revived this 2 year old thread, I may go pick one up next check.

This is a very old thread.

Maybe the 24/7's are OK, but I was the owner of the Taurus pt101 that the take down lever broke. Since then, I picked up a Rossi(Braztech AKA Taurus) revolver. The firing pin broke not once, but twice! First, time I sent it back for warranty and that took only 4 months. Second time, I went to a gunsmith to fix because I didn't want to wait. Sometimes I think about picking up a Taurus because they look so cool, but then I punch myself in the face and flush 300 dollars down the toilet. I only stick with glock, beretta, and hk for semi's now. All you guys that had good experiences should consider yourselves lucky.
