At The Range
Review of the Taurus PT-25
It all started a couple of Months before Christmas. I was looking for a new Concealed Carry gun my 9mm was just a little bulky for my liking so the search was on for a new pistol. Over the next several weeks I went to several gun shops looking for the right pistol for my liking there were a couple of features that I wanted the gun to have. I looked at several guns then I saw the Taurus PT-25. It had a nickel finish with Rosewood color grips and it was very comfortable in my hand. It was a small frame pistol with a 2.75 inch barrel and it weighed about 12 ounces it came with a 9 round magazine also. So I decided to get it the only problem was my wife told me I had to wrap it and put it under the tree for my Christmas present. So I unwrapped it on Christmas day and couldn’t wait to get to the range except that would be another 3 weeks before I could make it there.
Finally the day had come that I could go to the range. January 15th the temp outside was in the upper 50’s and I had gotten everything ready to head out got out to the range. When I got to the range there were a lot of people waiting on a spot so I decided that I would wait to because I couldn’t wait to shoot my new pistol. So I waited for a hour and a half for a spot to come open. Once I got my spot I started out shooting my Taurus 24/7 9mm, because I only had one box of 50 for my .25. Because the range I was at didn’t have anything closer than 25 yards I had to start out shooting at 25 yards and fired the first shot I struck the target low and to the left of the center. I took aim again and hit the target low again. I fired 9 times and all 9 of them hit the target some were low and to the left and some were just low. One of the things I like about this gun is there is very little recoil and a very smooth shooting gun. My overall opinion of the gun is that from about 15 yards it would be very accurate and a good conceal carry gun with the right holster. I give is 3.2 stars out of 4.

I carry this gun and like it. It has very little recoil and I find it fun to shoot. Mine has been extremely reliable and at fifteen yards is very accurate.
ReplyDeleteGreat! There's a lot to be said for the small gun that you have with you vs. the big gun at home in the nightstand.
DeleteI think it is an old Gun, but there is old saying that "Old is Gold".
