Taurus 24/7 Pro Pistol

This is the Taurus 24/7 Pro Pistol. Why do they call it
the 24/7? It is a workhorse of a pistol that is one of the
most reliable pistols on the market today. When you have
to use it, you can bet your life on its readiness. It is available
in the 9mm caliber, 40 caliber or the whopping 45 caliber
variety.

For the 9mm caliber you can load 18 bullets in the clip and one in the chamber. The 40 caliber has 15 rounds in the clip and one in the chamber. For the 45 caliber there is 12 rounds in the clip and one in the chamber. You decide how much fire power you need and go with what suits you.

Something that is unusual for a pistol are two locks. The Taurus 24/7 Pro Pistol comes with an actual key lock that is embedded with the gun. On the other side of the key lock is a chamber lock that prevents the pistol from accepting any rounds in the chamber. No round in the chamber means no firing the weapon by mistake. By chance if there is a round in the chamber and the chamber lock is engaged, the bullet won't be allowed to fire due to the inaction of the firing pin.
When you need to fire the Taurus 24/7 it won't let you down. It was built to fire and fire with minimal maintenance. Just a couple of drops of BreakFree Oil and you're back in business and the fun never stops.

The Taurus 24/7 Pro Pistol is one of the most comfortable handguns that I've owned and I've owned a lot of them. The way that the grips were made and the finger molds help to prevent a sweaty hand and therefore little slippage. The grips are designed to allow air to flow around your fingers and that keeps your hands cool and dry instead of wet and sticky. When you are 6 foot tall and 240 lbs and firing more than a hundred rounds a session, the adrenaline that starts flowing is beyond anything you can imagine. The pistol grip is made of a molded plastic with a neoprene grips. The latest and the greatest breakthrough in some time, that should be on every make and model pistol made. It makes your hand feel as if you're shaking hands with an old friend that you haven't seen in awhile. Sure feels comfortable to me! You can probably buy the Taurus 24/7 Pro Pistol from your local gun dealer, but before you buy it, see if your local gun shop will let you fire it at their range and you tell me if that ain't one piece of fine machinery.

P.S., Stock up lots and lots of bullets and targets cause you're not going to want to stop once you get started!

I Like These Weapons

Why do I like those weapons? Because there are so many of them. Why are there so many of them? Because different weapons are used for different situations. What kind of situations? Survival situations. What sort of survival situations? Water, Land and Snow.
Yeah? Desert! If there is a plane crash and you land in the middle of the ocean, you want to make sure you have some sort of floatation device with you and fluids to drink. So, doesn't every aircraft come with some sort of under the seat floatation device? Yeap, but why depend on theirs, when you can bring yours and you know that it works. Because every second counts. But, isn't that a bit much to try to get on the plane with? How much is a life worth? Or, better yet how much is your life worth? Priceless! Oh yeah. How about getting through airport security? Well, with survival gear, you just bring it on the plane with your carryon. We aren't talking about an AK-47 or anything like that. We're talking about a cotton ball for kindling for starting a fire with or on and a mirror to redirect the sun needed to start a fire. Hmm, very interesting. What else would I need? A level head. About just a fresh haircut. Nope, that's not going to work. Anything else I need to bring with me? Yep, a flashlight that you can put on a key chain. But I normally leave my keys at home. Okay, you just make sure that you bring a flashlight and leave it in your carryon bag. Just a small light to help you find your way in an event of a plane crash or you need a moment of light to evacuate. Pretty cool, but the picture shows quite a few weapons and I don't see a mirror or flashlight in the picture. The picture is just an example of things that we make available to those interested in purchasing some survival gear and yes, we have mirrors and flashlights. How about an indestructible 8-inch blade knife and it really works. It works on what? Trees, arms, legs, thumbs, it sent me to the hospital and the blade didn't give, I did. So, you survived that episode? Just barely. So, what the purpose of this blog? To inform the everyday Internet user that there is a need to survive for every situation. Take for example, the 9-11 incident or any number of harrowing experiences carried out throughout the world everyday. Do you feel safe? It depends on your definition of safe. You should use more of a word like alert, when I am in a situation where there is little light. I feel alert realizing that I am ready for any situation and I want this blog to prepare the citizen for any such situation.
