The finish is a little sharp. Like on the beaver tail, where theres a channel for the hammer when it's cocked, has sharp edges that may be too uncomfortable when it's pressed on your skin. Serrations on the slide are a little rough as well. But the gun sh

I have a Taurus 24/7 in .40 SW. Great gun. Decided to get the 840 to have a firearm with a hammer and see how I liked it. Wow. An even greater gun! 3 backstraps which should fit just about any sized hand. And it is as comfortable as the 24/7 even thoug

First the positive: This gun looks absolutely bad-ass. A little heavy, but very comfortable, and the weight helps absorb some of that .40 cal kick. Really sweet trigger, smooth as butter even in DA. Shoots anything you feed it with no jams, right out of b
