dashowdy 141 Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 I cannot make up my mind on these two I definitely know I want a 9mm and these two for the price have caught my intrest. The mags are cheaper for the ruger but I have heard people who have had problems with them. The 24/7 is packed full of features but it seems like taurus owners have a love hate relationship with their guns. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Thor88 3 Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 (edited) I had a Ruger P95 for several years and never had a single problem with it. It's a little large for CCW, but for a entry level full size 9mm I think its hard to beat. If you go that route, I would definitely suggest a Houge grip sleeve, it greatly improves the grip. Hope that helps. I have no personal experience with Taurus products but from what I've heard,if there is a problem their customer service isn't the best to work with.

dashowdy 141 Posted July 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 (edited) thats what I have heard too about taurus but I think with the features on that model I might as well spend the extra 100 and get a XDm 9mm. I am not getting it for concealed carry, in fact I will probably open carry it every now and again since I live in nc. the only problem I have heard of with the ruger is the factory magazines can have some FTF problems but other than that it is a solid gun. I had a chance to hold one the other day and while it is a little heavier then I expected it feels very solid in my hand. Edited July 7, 2011 by dashowdy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The_Vigilante 14 Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 Should extend your search to the M&P 9mm!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arik 565 Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 Should extend your search to the M&P 9mm!!! +1 I have 2. A full size 9 and a 45. Love them both. Next one is going to be the 9c. I wish they'd add a10mm to their line up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dashowdy 141 Posted July 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 Nice pistol just a little far out of my price range to keep my old lady happy. She knows about each of my gun purchases so I try to get her ok before I buy something. I am trying to keep it around 350 including transfer fee. The only reason I looked at the taurus is because alot of people compare them to the springfield xdm. If I was going to spend that money I would get a springfield xd or maybe a little more and get a glock. I am just looking for a solid entry level 9mm that is a good price and reliable, the ruger seems to be it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
