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.
