I am thinking about getting a Taurus PT 24/7. What do you guys think of this gun?

I bought a 24/7 Pro 45 cal a little over a year and a half ago.

for the first 300 rounds I was as tickled as could be.
The grip fit me, the recoil was managable and fast follow up shots were a cinch for me.
( I loved the Hienie Straight Eight sights)

By the 400 round count there started to be trouble in paradise.
I started having nose dive FTFs.
By the 500 rnd mark, i couldn't get thru more than two mags without a FTF.
I had 5 brand new factory mags too.
The FTFs would happen with all mags and would happen with 2 or 12 rounds in the mag and anything in between.
Tried several different brands of factory ball ammo too.

i send it back to Taurus and after a 6 week wait, i got it back.
They said they adjusted the slide and changed a mag body.
I took the gun out and didn't get thru 10 rounds before i had the same nose dive FTF.
(even with the "new improved" mag)

I traded it in as quick as i could.
I lost $80 bucks on the deal, but i was happy to be rid of it.

When the FTFs started, i searched the internet and discovered the probs I had were fairly common to the 45 cal 24/7.
I tried some of the adjustments and tips recommended by some to no avail.

The FTFs doesn't seem to plague the 9mm 24/7 and I don't know if the latest 45 cal has been modified to correct the nose dive FTFs or not

...L.T.A.

Were they the ones Cracking the slide or was that another Taurus Model?
