As I posted in a thread started by pgreen7436 about serious accuracy problems with PT24/7 pro's, I've got one that shoots WAY low, and it's going back to the factory tomorrow.

The target below is 8 inches wide, and was shot using the PT24/7pro 9mm FROM ONLY THREE YARDS! At that range they group decently about 2 and 1/2 inches low. I don't know about you guys, but I would call that unacceptable even in a non-target handgun.

There's no handgun manufacturer that I know of who doesn't sometimes get a lemon out the door. You can find this sort of tale about just about any gun you can name, so I'm not upset, although I am a bit disappointed. I want this gun to work right, hoping the folks at Taurus will do good work and make it right!

When I first got my .45 24/7 pro, I could not hit well, low and to the left of target. It took me a couple hundred rounds to get the feel of it. Now, I can hit great! Maybe you just need to shoot it some more?

Here's the thing Z400ACDC, If I adjust the sight picture so that the back sight lines up with the front edge of the slide (the base of the front sight) it groups around dead center. So I really think that there's something misaligned in the top half of this pistol. The two other ppl who I have had try it also shot way low and centered left/right. And from only three yards it's not too hard to get a sight picture going. (Yeah, I know my grouping in that picture sucks for a 3 yard shot, but you can definitely see that it's a group. Not one shot, even one of the bad ones, made it above the center line of the target!)

From what I've gathered, it's approx one inch low for each yard from the target. So at 10 yards it's 10 inches low, off the paper for the targets I use.

Some people might say, "just aim high and live with it", but I'd like to get this thing working better than that. And without knowing why it shoots so low, I have to wonder what part of the gun is so far off and will it get worse? Is the barrell warped? Is the slide not true? I don't have the tools or skills to make that sort of evaluation, and since it's a brand-new pistol, I'm inclined to send it back.
