Heine 'Straight-8' (Pro series)Introduced to the firearms market in 2004, the Taurus PT 24/7 is a semi-automatic pistol using the short type of recoil operation, and available in various models with double action only (DAO) and double action/single action type trigger actions. Using a hammerless, striker-fired design these pistols are manufactured by Forjas Taurus S/A (Taurus Forge) in Porto Alegre Brazil and distributed in the United States by their subsidiary Taurus USA.The 24/7 product line was designed for the civilian concealed carry Firearms market, and as backup weapons for Law Enforcement officers.Quinn, Jeff.

Design features

The 24/7 pistol features an injection molded polymer frame with blued carbon steel, stainless steel, or titanium slides. Available cartridge chamberings include 9x19mm Parabellum, .40 Smith & Wesson, and .45 ACP. Magazine capacities vary between 6, 10, 12, 14, and 17 rounds depending on model and caliber. [http://www.taurususa.com/products/gunselector-results.cfm?series=TI1 "Gunselector results"] , Taurus USA Web site - products section. Accessed July 3 2008.] The PT 24/7 pistols share several safety innovations with other Taurus product lines, including a positive firing pin block as well as the 'Taurus Safety Latch', a transfer bar safety which prevents firing of the pistol unless the trigger is pulled. Together these safeties assure that the pistol will not fire if it is accidentally dropped; selected models have been certified as satisfying the California drop safety requirement. All 24/7 models also include a frame-mounted manual safety lever, and are equipped with an integrated firearm locking safety system, which Taurus calls the ‘Taurus Security System' (TSS). [http://www.taurususa.com/products/product-details.cfm?id=108&category=Pistol "24/7 Pistol in .45 ACP CAP 12+1 Rds"] , Taurus USA Web site – products section. Accessed July 3 2008.] 24/7 pistols are also equipped with a visible/tactile loaded chamber indicator and a dust cover Picatinny accessory rail integration system, allowing for the easy attachment of accessories such as laser sights or tactical lights. Sights on 24/7 pistols vary by model, basic models are equipped with fixed open iron sights with a single high contrast/visibility dot on the front sight. Three-dot sights and Heinie ‘Straight Eight’ combat sights are available for the Pro and OSS models, as well as Tritium night sights. Handling characteristics of 24/7 pistols are enhanced by features such as an ambidextrous decocking lever and ergonometric design attributes which Taurus calls 'Memory pads', consisting of various grooves which promote proper consistent hand placement for superior handling control. [ [http://www.taurususa.com/imagebank/index2.cfm+%22memory%22+site:www.taurususa.com&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=34&gl=us "New Product Images"] , Taurus USA Web site - images section. Accessed July 21 2008.] In addition, a secure grasp of the pistol grip is afforded by a superbly engineered high adhesion gripping surface. An option on selected basic 24/7 pistols and standard on Pro models is a soft, ribbed, non-slip, hand-conforming grip which Taurus dubbed the ‘Ribber’.

Trigger actions

While the earlier standard versions of the 24/7 pistol came equipped with double action only triggers, the later Pro models and some of the OSS pistols sport double action/single action triggers, allowing for a safer and harder long double action initial trigger pull, with the action for all subsequent shots being cocked by the first, resulting in a lighter and more concise single action trigger pull. This system allows for two major advantages, one being that the pistol can be safely carried with the safety off for faster first shot capability, and the second being that if a round misfires, the trigger can be quickly pulled again in double action mode, repeating the attempt to fire the recalcitrant round. This type of DA/SA system, pioneered on such firearms as the Walther P38 and PP/PPK, is much faster and simpler than the standard tap, rack, bang method of clearing a dud cartridge.

OSS series

Due to deficiencies noted in the terminal ballistic performance of the standard 9x19 Parabellum M9 military service pistol during combat in Iraq and Afghanistan, in 2005 the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) issued requirements for a new .45 ACP service pistol and requested interested firearms manufacturers to submit models for field trial testing. With a large U.S. government defense contract for as many as 650,000 pistols and related accessories in the balance, Taurus was one of many companies to respond, submitting an upgraded 24/7 design they dubbed the ‘OSS’ model. When the USSOCOM request was at first delayed, and eventually indefinitely shelved, Taurus decided to offer its submission to the civilian marketplace [Metcalf, Dick. [http://www.gunsandammomag.com/ga_handguns/trialsoss_042607/index.html "The Taurus Trials"] "Guns and Ammo" magazine, June 2007. Accessed July 21 2008.] where it garnered much attention and popularity, eventually winning the National Rifle Association (NRA) Handgun of the Year award in 2005. [ [http://www.taurususa.com/company/awards.cfm "Awards"] , Taurus USA Web site – company section. Accessed July 3 2008.] The OSS models feature a sophisticated 3 position safety system, the bottom position enables the pistol to fire, the middle setting puts it in 'safe' condition, and the upper decocks the striker. This arrangement results in very versatile carry options for the user as the gun can be carried with a round in the chamber ‘cocked and locked’ in ‘Condition one’ (striker cocked with safety on), or the arguably safer ‘Condition Two’ (striker decocked and safety off, requiring a revolver-like DA pull to both cock and fire the pistol), or even with the striker decocked and the safety on. The OSS retains the loaded chamber indicator of the other 24/7 models, and additionally allows visual verification that the pistol is ready to fire as the striker can be seen when the pistol is cocked.
