Welcome Aztec, and nice piece you got there. 
Following the same line of reasoning. Maybe we should also ban/burn cars, since peace time statistics show that they kill more than guns in the hands of civilians. As they say, opinions are like .........., everyone has them and are entitled to them..... Peace!

Aztec,
here's a visual comparison of the first and second generation FN-Five-seveN that you were asking. wow looks like bibilhin mo na yung nakita mo sa GunShow, huh?
i prefer the older, odder-looking, rounded trigger-guard, first gen version. but hey.... lower the price and i'd take home any version!

Cars are designed to provide transportation. Guns are designed to shoot things with a view to causing damage to the target.
Personally I would severely restrict gun ownership and use to those who need a gun for their job e.g. farmer, gamekeeper, etc and for sport.

exactly my point scotsboy..
someone a wee while ago said that they would rather have a gun to defend themselver agaisnt someone else that had a gun... my point was that ALL guns would be melted down.. therefore the the chances of you meetiing someone else with a gun would be 0.

Precisely the point.. now aren't we all in this gun stuff for sporting purposes? It isnt like we buy guns to shoot people whenever we like to. However, that may be a good idea. hahaha |

The Taurus PT24/7 gun of the year. Yep very nice gun. Although you have to be very careful with this baby since it doesn't have a hammer like the glocks.
Hey why don't we give it a test run when it comes... |

Well why not? A newbie could always use some pointers from more experienced gun owners.
I was told that although the PT24/7 is glock-like (having no exposed hammer), it has a manual safety similar to those of 1911 guns. Geez...the waiting time is killing me! |

That's really goood to hear. I just hope we're from the same country.
Basically, the Taurus PT 24/7 pistol is Taurus' answer to the Glock and Springfield XD pistols. The Taurus 24/7 is a polymer-framed, double-action only (DAO), striker-fired pistol with utilitarian lines. Unlike the Glock and Springfield XD pistols, however, the 24/7 features a frame-mounted, sweep-down manual safety (1911-style) on the left side of the frame. This is the only type of manual safety, except for Heckler & Koch's (HK) squeeze-cock frontstrap featured on their P7 series pistols. To top it all off, the gun comes with a tactical light rail. Yeah, so ill be pretty excited to own one like that too.
Just be very careful in handling such a gun since you may not be able to see if it is loaded/ cocked or not.
Be very wary of the 4 laws of safety..

hahaha.. that would be nice... maybe you could pass a law like that to make the world a better place. Oh and for your info, it wouldnt be safe to melt ALL guns in the world because that would really be a problem with the environment.. But then again, i would rather meet a potential criminal with me carrying a gun rather than with a stick. |

Thanks boysaint! It's a funny thing that I discovered this site because of my new found interest in guns...although I also own a SE mobile phone. |

Thanks for the tip aztec. I'll surely bear that in mind...being new to guns and all things related to it. The one I got is not the DAO model but the new PRO SA/DA model. With regards to knowing whether the gun is loaded or not...I saw in the Taurus website that the PT24/7 has a red-colored "loaded chamber" indicator that protrudes near the top right portion of the slide. I have to see this for myself when the unit arrives. | |
