Does anyone have any experience with one? How about your experience with newish Taurus pistols in general? Reliable? Need service? Get good service? Inquiring minds want to know..........................elsullo
I have a buddy who just purchased one (709) and he is very pleased. Says it shot great right out of the box, easy to handle, easy conceal, recoil was very managable, no malfuctions to date. I got to hold it for a while and was impressed with the feel. Profile and controls are slim, as advertised I suppose. Big one for me, contains a thumb operated safety in addition to a trigger safety, some of the smaller pistol options don't contain that. He got his for around $380 at a show. One downside that he discovered, mags are not the easist to get a hold of. Other than that...
I understand that Taurus has a great repair policy so I hope that works out for you.I last shot my 709 last weekend, three mags, three jams (FTE), again. Seems like the outgoing round was wedged against the round in the magazine. I took it back to where I purchased it, they shot some rounds though it with the same result and have sent it back for repair. Hope for the best...

I just purchased a 24/7 compact for my carry gun. It has a great finish, lots of features, was cheaper than comparable guns, and fit my large hands better than anything else in its category. It is as accurate as my buddies xd subcompact. And reliable with factory loads. I bought some cheap reloads at the gun show and have had some that i had to hit more than once. which is another great feature of the 24/7. You just pull the trigger again and it hits the round again. You don't have to manually recock the gun to drop the firing pin again. Which with these crappy reloads i've had to do a few times. Overall i'm very happy. My only complaint being lack of holster selection for the Taurus guns.
