This is a 6 month old Taurus PT24/7 PRO DS in .45 ACP. It has about 300 rounds through it. Finish is about 97% as it has some mild barrel smileys and the slide has a little holster wear. It took about 150 rounds to break in the magazines which weren't feeding some hollow points at first (common problem with many taurus semi-autos). The first four rounds didn't feed properly. The magazines now feed most hollow points. FMJ ammo has always fed perfectly. This gun has a polished feed ramp from the factory which is nice. Taurus also provides a life long guarantee on the gun. In fact, I already used it to get a free guide rod/spring because the initial one had some corrosion on it. I was going to get replacement magazines too but I got the 3 I had working good. They are pretty good to deal with.

I carried this hiking and around town both concealed and in a SERPA holster also for sale with it. I'm upgrading to a magnum gun for bears (yep, had a black bear encounter last weekend camping and learned my .45 would not have done much) and need to sell this. I've had several .45 polymer guns and oddly enough, this inexpensive little Taurus is much more comfortable and a better recoil manager. Yes, I know that doesn't sound likely, but it's got a smaller and much more ergonomic grip (it's like a .40 sized grip, not a .45), and it handles recoil easier than the glock 21sf and M&P45 I had. It is also a very good looking gun. I enjoyed carrying it concealed and OWB with 12+1 rounds and recommend it over the heavier, larger glock 21. One other cool feature of this gun is that it's not just a SA/DA striker fired gun, it's SA option will go to DA if the striker falls on a bad primer or hard primer. Pretty cool feature, and the SA pull is very light and crisp, the DA pull is long and safe. Oh yeah, the manual safety also decocks the striker when pushed all the way up. Find these features on ANY other .45 gun, if it exists, then find it for under $400!

For $325 you get the gun, 3 magazines that hold 12 rounds each, and the hard case with cleaning brush and mag loader. I paid $385 for it 6 months ago so I figure $325 is more than fair.

For $425 you'll also get 320 rounds (170+ are 230grain FMJs, 150+ are assorted 230grain JHPs) AND a blackhawk SERPA holster with both the paddle attachment and the belt attachment. The ammo and holster are at least $150 worth of stuff, I'm bundling them with the gun for only $100.

I'd prefer a face to face transaction. Contact me with any questions.
