Re: PT 24/7 OSS

Did you see it on the cover of American Rifleman? Just pulled it out of the mailbox...

(later)
Just read the article real fast.
They added a decocker! I've always liked pistols that feature decock. great for conceal carry (or non-conceal too), it's always nice to carry chambered but uncocked/DA.

Re: PT 24/7 OSS

I wonder if that feature will make it into a MilPro??

Re: PT 24/7 OSS

I wonder if that feature can be added to the 24/7 Pro

Has anyone had the chance hold one of these yet? Is it the same grip size as the other 24/7's? I have a first gen .45 24/7 and the only problem I have with it is the safety is not ambi.

Having small hands the 24/7 fits like a glove, I have a .45 XD and it doesn't feel nearly as good as my Taurus.
I never understand why Taurus never pushed the 12 rounds of .45 in the smallest grip frame avalible

There is a detailed review of the 24/7 OSS in the new February 2007 issue of the NRA Magazine American Rifleman. From a cursory reading, the grip is slightly different in that it is not the rubberized style grip, currently on most of the 24/7 models. The only way for you to know whether it's grip is acceptable to you would be to examine one for yourself. A very similar (and probably less expensive) alternative would be a current longslide version, if you can find one.

 

[Elmoh01]

The whole reason for wanting one is the ambi safety. I never knew why they didn't put one on the 24/7 the first time around.

I've definately got a thing for autos with 5" tubes going on. If it's got the Taurus price and quality, I think I'll have to get one!

I posted on a thread about this in the lounge, on the American Rifleman thread. My FFL dealer talked to one of his distributors today, and the gun is not yet in production. It was designed for military use, but expected production will be for civilian sales. Apparently, we won't see these for a while yet.

Re: PT 24/7 OSS

Nobody has the scoop!!!
Great this seems like it gonna be another 1911 release!

Please Note: Two separate threads have been combined here "PT 24/7 OSS" and "24/7 oss".

 

[beagler]

Please help the ignorant: what does "oss" stand for?

 

[TitaniumMan]

O6 submission ( Oh-Six-Submission ) - submission meaning being submitted for army trials.....

 

[beagler]

Thanks TiMan,
What are the standards set up for these trials?

 

[jwc007]

Due to Budget Cuts, the trials have been canceled, for at least the time being.

I also note that the Longslide versions of the PT24/7's are no longer shown on the Taurus Website.

 

[michaelfm]

Update on the 24/7 OSS. A distributor that does a lot of business with my local FFL dealer is checking into the possibility of some of these coming available soon. I'll get the scoop sometime tomorrow, probably in the afternoon. If one is available he's going to order it right away, since there has been much interest in this model since its announcement. I'll have pictures if that happens.

They're still there ;D

It's nice to see that the Longslide 24/7's are still available. For some reason they were not shown in the general online category when I last looked, and they were there before. Perhaps they are not in general distribution, as yet.
