Picked up a new Taurus PT 24/7 Pro in .45acp tonight. This is their new Stainless and black slide version which comes not with their usual straight eight sights, but rather a three dot set up with a serrated face which I'm more used to and so prefer. I would rather see larger dots, but these will work. The DA trigger pull is very smooth at 7 1/2#s and the SA has a long take up but breaks nicely at 5#s. I'm a large guy, but the grip fits me just fine, much better than a Glock, but not quite as nice as my S+W M+P 9. I appreciate the hooked trigger guard for a two hand hold. Empty magazines drop free as they should. I disassembled and reassembled without a catch, a very straight forward operation. The slide fits tight and the barrel ramp is polished up to a mirror finish. The action was filthy so it got a good cleaning. I have a Don Hume holster on order through http://www.gunnersalley.com/s=gunnersalley.com/ for this pistol.
So far I couldn't be happier with the looks and function of the gun. Now all I need some serious range time! Here's a stock photo 'til I get some photos of my own.

I had the same gun in their matte black finish and those darn straight 8 sights. It shot well, was reliable and the trigger was OK but those darn sights. After nearly 30 years of 3 dot I just couldn't get the ol brain to shift gears. I sold it and used the money to help me buy the Colt 1911 I wanted anyway.
