Before you envy the Glock's trigger too much... do some reading "glock + accidents" on google, or http://www.motherjones.com/news/feature/2000/01/glock.html.

Try to guage the weight of the trigger pull... if it seems excessive, contact Taurus. If it is just the "length" of the pull... remember that the older Taurus models had no "pre-cocked" springs. The light trigger pull on Glocks (and a great many other pistols is due to the gun being cocked" during the slide cycle (just as the 3rd Generation now do).

Any time the gun is "pre-cocked" you are ready to fire. The Glock gives you ONLY the trigger safety... and obviously it doesn't work all the time as intended. At least the newer Taurus include the safety which put the gun into a "cocked & locked" mode.

For a CCW the early DAO models were great... you had to intentionally know you were going to shoot them.

The trigger on the 24/7 is the same system used on the Mil Pro... it is a trigger "bar" and a catch on the firing pin... the bar draws the catch to the rear until it is forced of move down and release the catch, releasing the firing pin. Polishing these surfaces would be an exceedingly difficult task without creating problems. Unlike some guns, there is no danger of "going full auto" but you even if you could "smooth" the engagements, the length and weight of the trigger pull is a product of the firing pin compression and that can't be changed.

Many folks have found the best approach for the DAO is to just be aggressive about pulling the trigger (don't jerk... but don't try to feel for the release). These guns have an inherant safety in that pulling the trigger must be an intentional act. I just learned to treat my 24/7 9mm like a DAO revolver... best be about it once you start the act.
