I never had much interest in Taurus handguns afterthedisappointment ofowning an earlyPT145. But, I broke down and decided to give a 24/7 Pro .45ACP that was in the display case at a local range/gun-shop a 'once-over', not expecting to be impressed. The action was surprisingly tight and smooth (by hand), and upon dry-firing (with the consent of the dealer) I was surprised how cleanly the trigger broke, in SA... Just as crisp as my XDs, but lighter (considerable take-up though)! The grip was very comfortable and ergonomic, and I like the fact that it can be carried 'cocked-and-locked' (though I am disappointed that there is no decocker).
Does anyone here have, or know where I can find,reliable info about the long-term durability and reliability of these pistols? It seems to me that if they are as nice as they seem, the PT1911s as well, I probably can't afford to NOT get one of each... They'd make quite a pair of economical carry .45s for various situations! I'd like to know that there are many success storiesof high round-count experiences with these models, before I seriously consider them... The lifetime warranty is comforting though.
There are a few other guns which I intend to add to my collection first, but I feel like my eyes have been opened to new possibilities for down-the-road...
