Taurus 24/7-40DTP-15

Does anyone know very much about It?

I just got an Airsoft version, tracked down the model through comparison and am interested in what everyone thinks of a .40 pistol.

In my opinion, more can be had weaker with 9mm and less can be had stronger with .45 and the price of .40 caliber ammunition isn't worth the stouter recoil and smaller capacity, especially when hot-loaded expanding 9mm can come close to its performance. The gun itself looks okay, but I don't like the curved, shapely form of the grip in comparison to the straight, flat slide. Makes it look a little weird.

I'd buy it just cause I like the look of the 24/7 series. Especially the longslide, desert tan-framed ones. It just looks like the kind of gun I'd enjoy shooting.
That's me, though.
Basically, if you still want it after a week, go with your gut on it.
That's my rule.

Thanks for your input.

Yeah, the. 40 seems like a bad caliber to use. I do enjoy the look of the grip, mainly due to the magazine forming part of it. Just seems like a neat idea to me. It's an odd looker but it feels right.

The 24/7 series is... Odd to me but it does seem fun. It's appears to be close to the real thing and I can say it feels pretty nice in your hand. Love the sig Sponge, all 3 in one. Took me a minute to realize that.

I don't exactly plan to buy one of these but I wouldn't exactly be opposed.

It's a nice looking gun, I'll give you that.

But I'll have to agree with the caliber, no sense getting a nice gun with hard to find ammo, 'specially with the prices going up. Go with something nice in 9mm or .45, since it'll save you some trouble in the long run.

We have no problem getting .40 ammo, it's getting more and more popular every day.

Taurus customer service is hit or miss, look it up sometime.
