Re: Taurus informal poll

I didn't because there isn't an option for Taurus says "Its not an issue." On many 24/7 pro pistols, and possibly other DA/SA capable pistols in their lineup, it appears that you can set the safety and still fire the gun. The flaw comes into play when the trigger is not fully forward and the safety is engaged. Depending on how far rearward the trigger is the weapon can be fired. Now my 24/7 OSS is unaffected and newer versions of the 24/7 Pro (Novak sights and without the ribber grip) have also appear to have been fixed. Possible reasons the trigger may not be in the forward position are:
#1 Finger on trigger (Most likely).
#2 Debris in the pistol's mechanisms (Possible, even likely for some of us).
#3 Wear or damage to the pistols mechanisms (all things mechanical experience wear).

If the gun is kept clean, well maintained, and the operator keeps their finger off the trigger then this issue will not manifest itself. Now to me I am annoyed with Taurus and do not like their policy regarding the 24/7 Pro flaw. With that said I do not let that bother me when I purchase products they have produced besides that one. I happen to own, or have owned the following Taurus products:

Taurus Pistols:
PT1911 (.45 ACP): No manufacturer issues.
PT 24/7 Pro (.40 S&W): Above mentioned Issue.
PT 24/7 OSS (.45 ACP): No issues.

Taurus revolvers:
The Judge: No issues, other than finding ammo.
The Judge, Public Defender: No issues, other than finding ammo.
Rossi R35102: (.38 special, 5 shot snub nose revolver, made by Taurus).
