Buds is the best by far. This was the first gun I brought from buds and I didn't know much about the Taurus brand, but for the price this is a great gun. I was able to get about 300 rounds in before my house was broken into and stolen. I like the gun and didn't have a single problem.

I picked up a Taurus 24/7-G240BC from Bud's using the 90 day lay away plan. It's great to be able to spread the cost out over a few payments. This handgun does not disappoint! I picked it up from my FFL, took it home and cleaned it right away as some of the glue that the factory used to secure the foam in the case had gotten on the slide. A little bore cleaner and it was good to go. The gun is amazingly easy to field strip so cleaning and regular maintenance should be very easy. The manual is a bit confusing on one point, dry firing. In one section it clearly states not to dry fire the weapon. In another section (disassembly) it clearly instructs you to dry fire it to release the slide. Although in that instance, you're not dry firing from full cock so it may just be my interpretation. A cleaning rod would have rounded out the accessories nicely, not sure why they didn't include one. None of these issues warrants a reduction in the 5 stars given. At least to me. I took it to a range and ran 200 rounds of S&W .40 mixed ammo through it. Brass, steel and even some Herter's aluminum cased ammo. Not one single FTE and only one feed issue, towards the end of the day one of the aluminum cased rounds didn't go up the ramp cleanly. Drawing the slide back slightly and releasing, chambered the round perfectly. I had no light primer strikes so I couldn't try the "Strike Two" feature.Accuracy was on par with any other handgun I own which is to say, as long as I was using a firm grip and concentrating, grouping was fine and recoil was very controllable. This gun comes with 2 magazines, one 11 round and one 15. The 15 round has a nice extension that makes for a full sized grip. Even with my big hands, the 11 round magazine was comfortable and the grip felt very secure. I expect with proper maintenance and care, this gun will be around for a very long time. Sights are adjustable for both windage and elevation and there's an adjustment screwdriver included. The overall size is truly nice and compact and fairly light as most polymer pistols go. As far as Bud's and their service goes, it's always been 5 star. I would recommend the Taurus 24/7-G240BC to anyone looking for a compact pistol, and as always, I highly recommend Bud's.

Firearm was purchased for the intended purpose of Concealed Carry however after the first trip to backyard to fire the weapon I am very disappointed, after 3 magazines worth of ammo (41 rounds of Winchester 180 gr FMJ) the magazine release failed and held the empty mag in the well and would not release, upon further investigation the pin that seats the release into the well has loosened and no longer sits within the well. Taurus customer service very responsive and cooperative and the pistol is on the way to the repair center. I had high hopes for this firearm especially after the reviews on here and around the internet, but after 3 magazines out of the box and this failure I am second guessing my purchase, I will update with another post once the firearm has been serviced and taken to the backyard again to test / fire. Buds was great to deal with as always, will continue to buy from them for all my future purchases.

I payed for taurus 24/7 g2 40 s&w on a weds morning and received gun on Thursday. Buds was so fast in shipping i couldnt believe it. I was a little frustrated because gun didnt come with cleaning brush or back straps, so i called buds and they were so helpful. They actually called me next morning and Taurus will be sending items to my house. Now onto gun i didnt even clean gun just picked up and shot 150 rounds and they went thru it without any problems. I would tell anyone who is looking to buy a gun that Buds is place to order. Thanks for such fast shipping and being so helpful.

Ordered my weapon on Sunday night and had it in hand on Thursday! Spent a couple of hours at the range on Sunday and the weapon worked flawlessly. Fired 500+ rounds thru it and only had 1 misfire. Sights are very accurate and I achieved relatively small 3.5" groupings at 25 feet. I was worried that the weapon would come caked in grease, (other reviewers indicated theirs did) but it did not. I throughly clean it upon arrival, and only found a slight amount of fouling in the barrel (probably due to being test fired at the factory). I am a fan of Taurus handguns and have one of the original G1 24/7 Pro models. My new 24/7 C fits nicely on my hip, It conceals perfectly and appears to be just as reliable as the original model. My only complaint is that the magazines had a slight rattle when fully loaded and inserted into the weapon. I found that I could emiminate this by putting a small strip of felt at the base of the receiver. This did not interfere with loading or releasing, but did stop the rattle. This was my first purchase from Bud's but won't be my last. I'm already looking at my next purchase!!!

Received my Taurus 24/7-G240BC-15 PT24/7 G2 Compact 15+1 40S&W 3.5 from Buds at a great price. None of my local Gun shops could even come close to what I paid from Buds. Received it within one business week. Put 150 rounds through with no problems. Highly recommend this gun for the price.

This is my third or fourth purchase from Buds, which has always been a great experience. This is my first .40 and came packed in plenty of lube, with the sweet case and the two mags like everyone else mentioned. You cannot beat the price and I am ready to break it in this weekend at the range.

What a beauty, opened the case and was exactly as described. Going to take her to the range next week and break her in. Came with two magazines, 1 15 round and 1 11 round. Mag loader and a very nice Taurus case. Gun was clean and in perfect condition. Unbelievable service through Bud's, fast shipping three days even in the bad weather. Thank's Bud's for a great experience. First time gun owner.

im a real person, you can see my youtube vids if u search "theJcrackz". this gun was awesome, GREAT safety features. good "strike two" system, even tho i havent had to use it yet. took it to the range straight after picking it up from ffl dealer, put about 100rnds to zero it, but my first shot was a bullseye, no lie, so instead of zeroing, i was grouping at about 2". i outshot the two glocks next to me. it has easy acquisition, would b a lil better with truglo sights IMO. and its kinda hard to find sights for this particular model, but maybe the ones that fit earlier versions/diff models are interchangeable? the compact DOES NOT come with grip attachments, thats full size model. its recoil is minimal in the .40, so the 9mm has to be amazing. it came in box with 11rnd magazine, and 15rnd magazine, they will definitely need to be broken in, its near impossible to load the 15th round, lol. it also comes with a speedloader, but i cant figure how to work it, so im just mashin thumbs on it till it pops in, lol. the first shot is ALWAYS DA, then it stays in SA till u push the lever to return to DA. the trigger pull is gritty feeling, but not to heavy, break is crisp enough that it can suprise you, especially if u aint used to the SA pull being WAY shorter than the first DA pull, it will catch u off guard... breakdown for cleaning is simple and easy, and easy to reassemble. for people with smaller hands, id recommend the smaller pt111, as the first round is DA and its hard for smaller hands to wrap the grip AND reach the longer trigger, but the SA is shorter, and perfect. i plan on buying my wife the pt111 9mm for her defense gun, this is MY defense gun. this is the first taurus ive bought, and it definitely will not be the last. and on top of it all, the "make offer", add to cart, checkout, proccessing, shipping proccess from buds was quicker than expected. id say for my first on taurus AND buying guns online, i am EXTREMELY pleased.

Just received gun the other day .Great looking gun ,at a great price from a Bud's. Have not shot it , just getting use to the feel and loosen every thing up. Was not as greasy from shipping as I had read . Broke it all down and clean it up.and lube .Thanks to Bud's for getting it to my FFL in a timely manner. Hope to do business again in the future Also will give a review after I have shot it and taken a safety course , as I'm pretty new at this . Maybe I should mention the pistol is a Taurus 247 -G2 40 Compact.................Thanks Again
