Taurus 24/7 CO2 ABS

Brief History

Taurus PT 24/7 was introduced to the market in 2004, manufactured by Forjas Taurus S/A Brazil and distributed in America by the Taurus USA franchise. This model was designed as a compact pistol for civilians. It has also been used by law enforcement as a backup weapon.

Description

The airsoft replica presented mimics the original pistol in external appearance. The major difference is the non-blowback NBB (Non Blow Back) operation. This principle is simple. When the trigger is pulled, a BB from the magazine is fed into the barrel, and the hammer is cocked and released. Thus, the trigger pull is slightly longer than that of recoil-operated pistols, and the pressure required to pull it is greater.

Exterior of the Replica

The upper part of the replica (the slide) and the lower part are made of quality ABS plastic. Its relatively light and well-distributed weight contributes to maneuverability. The operational buttons such as the mag catch and safety are positioned according to the real pistol. The other buttons, however, are strictly decorative. At the front, there is a standard 22mm rail on which a variety of accessories such as lasers, flashlights, or other devices can be mounted.
The grip is covered with a rubberized layer featuring grooves for superior traction. The sights of the airsoft replica are fixed but aligned straight, allowing for aiming.

Interior of the Replica

The firing mechanism is extremely simple and practical. Thus, its reliability is very good. Quality metal components are used, making it resistant to wear. The airsoft replica does not feature a BB lift system, Hop-Up, but due to the relatively high speed of 130-135 m/s with 0.20g BBs, the BB has a straight trajectory over a sufficiently long distance.

Power Supply

The airsoft replica operates on CO2. The 12g CO2 cartridge fits into the BB magazine. At the bottom of the magazine, there is a cap with an Allen screw. Using the Allen key included in the package, this cap can be unscrewed, and the CO2 cartridge is inserted with the thin end inside, after which the cap is securely screwed back on. It is loaded with 6mm airsoft BBs from the top, the magazine is inserted into the replica, and it's ready to fire.

Warning: It is recommended to spray a small amount of silicone oil on the contact seal surface before installing a new CO2 cartridge. It is not recommended to store the CO2 cartridge in the airsoft replica; after each use, even if the cartridge is not empty, it should be removed to protect the seals.
