Taurus 24/7 G2 CO2 Gas Blowback Airsoft Pistol by Softair (Model: 428 FPS / Black)

"Excelent pistol, recoil feels real and good finishing. Only con is the magazines that are really hard do find in my country. Since this pistol is widely used by police forces in my country i can find great holsters made for this model.

"Awesome gum, my favorite. BUT, I am soooo tired of magazines going bad and not holding gas and they cost $40+ to replace if you can find them. And I keep my guns and mag seals lubed. Damn rip off.

"PSA since they don’t list the thread size. The thread is a 12mm CW.
If you wanted to use the AceTech Bifrost with this you need a 12mm CW (+) to 14mm CCW (-).

Pros:
• Really good weight and feel.
• Solid build.
• Strong blowback.
• Pretty consistent performance.

Cons:
• Noticeably larger than normal gap between the grip and slide near the muzzle.
• Some cycling issues, nothing big.
• Definitely going to be hard to find parts for the pistol but not impossible.
• Not enough documentation. (Hence why I added the thread size and direction at the top)
• Barrel has a noticeable amount of play wiggling it forwards and back .

Conclusion:

Well built with some design flaws and lacking enough documentation.

"I bought one of these because I have a real steel one and wanted to train with it.

It's a phenomenal quality replica; they did a fantastic job with the detailing and the feel of it compared to the real one. It's made with great materials and build quality.

The magazine is double stack, but it is unique in that you load the bbs in the follower window rather than an inlet at the bottom or the mouth at the top. The CO2 needle and nut to insert the cartridge is robust and will stand many cartridges.

Regarding power, this thing is ridiculous. Mine is shooting about 470 fps on a fresh cartridge, degrading to about 400 fps prior to it fizzling out. My cartridges would last at least 3 magazines. The kick feels legitimately like shooting a .22LR; it's pretty intimidating for an airsoft gun.

Regarding performance, it was overhopping every weight bb I could put in it (I used .20gs up to .40gs), pretty severely. I'm talking .40gs rising about 5 ft after about 50 ft. I haven't quite figured out how to reduce the hop up yet, but I assume when I can, it will continue to shoot as straight as it was despite the overhop.

Would definitely buy again, would like magazines to be less expensive, and like the real steel would like to see more model specific holsters.

"Overall nice feel. Internals are not good. The action isn’t smooth. The biggest issue is with the double or maybe you could even call a triple recoil spring. There is too much play in it from this two stage design on one guide rod. If you look at the gun from either side you will notice a gap between the frame and the slide that could be approximately 1/32 of an inch. This is caused by the the two stage spring design. That’s why another reviewer pointed out his shots with flying up no matter how he adjusted the hop. Thinking about returning it.

"This is a great gun. However, after only putting through about 70 mags worth, which is my standard testing for GBB, the mag release system is broken due to a fairly retarded method of installation. Great gun, generally tough, accurate, high FPS if you are able to use that, which I can, and aside from the mag release, I would recommend.

"Pistol is real nice. Quality of the outside finish is great, the only gripe I have is that mine came with a defect on the slide, internally on the side rail there is a spot were aluminum is rough, like a casting issue when fabricated, slide would not move smoothly.

The rest of the pistol is well constructed. Kind of disappointed at the above explained issue, I think I will need to work on this slide with some elbow grease and filing.

It took for ever to get it due to obvious reasons nowadays, would not send it back, is out of stock and if I do it, I probably will get a refund, I will make it work... it was $99 plus free shipping.

"This is my second review on this. I don't know why my first one wasn't posted.

Pros: Nice Feel, High FPS

Cons: Poorly designed. Has several design flaws, especially the guide rod and spring. There is an added spring (that still doesn't produce enough tension) different then that of the real 24/7 G2. This causes the entire slide to raise up 1/16" of an inch from the frame in the front of the gun. This is why another reviewer is having issues with BB's flying 5 feet above the target. It also causes the slide to stick at times in the area of the safety linkage. This prevents the slide from recoiling back all the way to fire mode.

I took pictures but apparently I can't post them to this review.

I don't recommend this gun.
