Hey guys,
I was at a local gun shop in Concord when i came across the taurus 24/7 G2 9mm for $385. He told me that you will get what you pay for and that I should get
the Beretta PX4 Storm 9mm. Has anyone have experiance with the Taurus 24/7 G2?
I shot it once, and it's a decent weapon. Didn't really stand out performance wise for me, and I don't have anything horrible to say about it. It did jam on me twice though, but jamming can have a lot to do with the magazine sometimes. I can't even count how many times I've had an M16 jam on me because of ****** magazines... But anyway, back to your gun. To me, it didn't quite feel right in my hands. It just didn't seem like the balance was right. But the problem with asking for advice on what gun to buy, is that it's different for almost every person. For example, i Love glocks for the durability and the fact that after thousands of rounds, I've never had a jam. I can throw it in water and sand and pick it up and shoot it. BUT, it doesn't feel right to some people, therefore it might not be a great choice for them. Of course, most guns have aftermarket grips and things that you can buy. What I would suggest, is going to a gun shop with a range and renting the weapons that you're interested in, and seeing what you like best. I'm not saying don't research the technical side though lol, because a weapon may feel great in your hands, and it may feel just right when you're firing rounds down range, but if it has known issues with constantly jamming, it may not be the best choice for self defense. So test-fire and do research and find what weapon meets in the middle for you. Keep in mind that as far as self defense goes, I wouldn't go any smaller than a 9mm though. I personally carry a .40
Also, when doing your research don't take every person that claims they've had a weapon jam on them so that gun is horrible, seriously. Try to look for reviews and posts by someone who's been shooting for awhile. Because the biggest reason that pistols jam on new shooters, is that they're holding the gun too losely.
I know this isn't an exact answer for what you're asking, but I hope it helps a little.
