Load up and every shot is fired with a crisp single action trigger pull. Then its happened to all of us... a deafening click and no ignition until now the only way to correct the problem is a rack-jack-slap or some ridiculous mantra. The Taurus Model 24/7 PRO is the only pistol that automatically reverts to double action and with a simple trigger pull gives you a life saving double action try at firing a faulty cartridge. If it still does not fire, then extraction by slide operation will insert a fresh round and revert to single action firing mode automatically. The 24/7-40SSP-15 includes loaded chamber indicator, cocking indicator, decocker safety, manual safety, Taurus security system, internal trigger safety, and checkered polymer grips.

Designed by Winchester and introduced by Winchester and Smith & Wesson in 1990, the 40 S&W was designed as a "compromise" semiautomatic pistol cartridge that would offer more performance than the 9mm Luger (9x19)…but would produce less recoil and allow higher magazine capacity than the 45 ACP. Few compromises in the firearms world have ever worked as well. From a manufacturing standpoint many pistols designed for the 9mm could be re-engineered to handle the larger cartridge; in a short time it has become a standard issue in the law enforcement community. Using a .400-inch bullet of from 135 to 180 grains from a .850-inch cae, the .40 S&W produces up to 1205 fps, and although recoil is greater than the 9mm, it is easier to shoot than the 45 ACP, and its greater velocity and smaller bullet diameter aid penetration. — Craig Boddington
