From The Beginning
The gun weighs in at 25 oz., is less than 8" long and just a little over 5" high. With a width of 1.25" and a capacity of 15 or 17 rounds, it’s the perfect size for many of us when it comes to a carry gun.
Let’s start with the grip and frame. It has several unique features designed for comfort and to push the shooter toward a correct and accurate handhold. It starts with a palm swell, forcing the shooting hand high on the grip. Complementing the shape of the grip are textured panels on the sides, front strap and back strap to help the shooter maintain a secure grip even with sweaty palms. Thumb shelves are integrated into the frame on either side of the grip, which place the index finger in position for a straight pull on the trigger.
Integrated into the frame above the trigger guard, Taurus “Memory Pads” offer a natural location for indexing the trigger finger when not actively engaging the target. These Memory Pads have been around since the PT 24/7 I bought 15 years ago and are located on both sides to accommodate left- and right-hand shooters. It also has a Picatinny MIL-STD-1913 accessory rail for lights.
