I was talking with a couple of guys at the range yesterday. I know, I know, most of what you hear is at the range is probably bs. But here it goes. One of them said Taurus is coming out with a 24/7 compact. Have any of you heard of this "New Pistol"? Wouldn't that just be one of the Millennium series pistols?

I think it's true. If you look on the Taurus web site, there are a number of 24/7s (without pictures) which describe shorter frames. May be a while before we see them, but I'm confident they are coming.

Thanks for your response. I guess then my only question would be, what's the difference between them and the Millennium's? My cc gun is a 24/7 and it is great in the winter. I think a little too big for summer. That's why I'm looking at the 745 or the 145. The only problem I could see on a compact 24/7 would be the ribber grip. It might catch on lighter, thinner summer clothes. Not a problem in the winter under heavy jackets, but all I wear in summer is a t-shirt.

All that said...I still want one. ;D Maybe two ;D ;D

They will be larger than the Mill Pro's. The capacities and therefore the grips are aligned to the 24/7 Pro. Therefore the 45 will have the same grip as the 24/7 pro larger than the 745 by a large bit but capable of 12 rounds. However, there is no ribber grip on the 45.

I guess I'm not getting the concept of the 24/7 compacts.
I carry IWB , so the hardest part to conceal is the grip. Not the slide.
I guess I would rather see a .45 like the XD .45 compacts. Shorter grip with 4 inch slide.
And you could also have the extended mags.

My memory may be failing me, but I'm pretty sure I've seen one, offered by Garbado (sp???) firearms at a gunshow in Tucson. The accessory rail on the forend only had one crosscut rather than two due to the shorter length.

I was under the impression that the Compact has a shorter grip along with the shorter barrel, used a 10rd mag or a 12rd mag with a grip spacer like the XD has?

hi, i have the 24/7 40 compact 200rds through it very nice gun, the grip on it is the same size of my pt145, it comes with a 11rd mag and a 15rd mag with a spacer it is a compact gun.

Here's a 24/7 compact next to a PT140

Cool, Taurus's web site doen't really give that info.
According to the web site they were the same height, at least the .45 and .45 compact.
So guess I could buy a 10 round compact .45 mag and chop my grip on my 24/7 full size.
