hey
that guy on youtube was me.
I had my machine shop buddy took at it. He said would cost me about $70 to have one made. Not worth it for me.
That's a large part of the reason i'm going to the OSS model with a full metal rod among some other nice features.
I called Taurus back and asked when they would be releasing the new metal rods for the 24/7 and they acted like I had been huffing paint. Apparently the first guy i talked to at Taurus didnt know what he was talking about (or the last one didn't) because they'd never heard of plans to do that.
I'm pretty sure using a machined one would void the warranty if they actually found out you had done that.
On the up-side the replacement rods are only like $100 through Taurus. Make sure they send you the right one though. Look up your exact model on the website. They sent me 3 of the wrong type.
If anyone here knows a cheaper machine shop, that might be interested in working with us, i'm sure we could throw them some business.

Sup man I really enjoyed your video review.I saw the review before I bought my 24/7 it was the icing on the cake for me. So hows your 24/7 working out for you? and did you take your CHL class if so how was it?merddyn2002 said:hey

hey man, thanks, I really enjoyed doing the videos. I just did a follow-up video this weekend and answered a lot of those questions. I get about 5 emails a week from folks who enjoyed the videos or had questions.
The new video is up at
In short, I really love it. I've had some problems with hollow points feeding, but I keep glazier rounds for self defense so it's no worry for me.
I'll be upgrading to the OSS when it comes out because I dig the new features.
I also address the guide rod issue in the video as well.
Disassembly was a real bitch for me to figure out. That's really why I did the videos. The guy behind the counter at the shop couldn't even do it.
Looking for other stuff to do videos on now
