Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the KWC 24/7 TAC Non-Blowback CO2 Pellet Pistol is a bit on the medium to heavy side so it’s not going to make for the best action shooter as it is a double action only shooter when compared to a single action only trigger or a single and double action trigger. As with most double action triggers it is a bit longer and slightly heavy but not unusable, just be prepared to get a little bit of a finger workout.

Accuracy: Starting with what the actual velocity of the KWC 24/7 TAC Non-Blowback CO2 Pellet Pistol. We made sure to keep the Sea Can and Airgun nice and warm before making this test and we also placed a brand new 12 gram CO2 cartridge in it and went with lead pellets we are guesstimating where around 7 grain so not super heavy or super light, definitely not high velocity alloy pellets. We were a bit shocked that our average fps was no where near the claimed 360 fps. Our 5 shot average came to 259 fps with a couple shots even shooting under 200 fps which we through out. Is that good enough for shorter range plinking? We would say so but but way off the claimed 360 fps. Maybe the manufacturers claim was using high velocity light weight alloy pellets? Next as with all our Field Test Shooting Videos for the KWC 24/7 TAC Non-Blowback CO2 Pellet Pistol we performed our accuracy portion of the test and reloaded the 16 round magazine which is actually a dual 8 round rotary magazine you manually switch sides to unload all rounds. Our first 8 shots for the most part where decently centered perhaps a bit to the right but the grouping was rather spread out close to a around 5 inches maybe even a bit more. We then rotated the magazine to the other side of fully loaded pellets and this time we had several malfunctions/jams where rounds did not rotate properly therefore getting squished rather than going down the barrel. We have a feeling this is a problem with this specific magazine as we had the same problem during our Velocity test. We even switched to pointed pellets for the accrual test from flat head pellets but it did not seem to help. The best we could do on this day with this gun was to get around a 5-6 inch grouping which is not very good for a pellet shooter at 30 feet out.

Build Quality: The KWC 24/7 TAC Non-Blowback CO2 Pellet Pistol is built as expected just like all the other KWC Airguns. KWC has been making Airguns for a while not just for themselves but for other companies like Umarex, Gletcher, ASG, Crosman and even Sig Sauer and so quality control and durability have to stand up to these manufacturers standards. You will find metal on this gun where it matter. The slide, the full size drop out metal magazine and of course lots of internal parts. The frame, magazine release, trigger and safety are all plastic. We do like the feel of the rubberized grips for sure! Fit and finish is good overall and the fact that this is a fairly simple Airgun design with no blowback action or even a moving slide, so less moving parts means there is less chance for something to go wrong so it should last a while even with a fair amount of use.

Realism: The KWC 24/7 TAC Non-Blowback CO2 Pellet Pistol shares it’s looks with the Taurus 24/7 but is not an exact replica. The trigger guard is a bit different and so is the placement of the controls and even the slide and frame are not exact but very similar. In terms of size, weight and vernal overall design for sure the KWC 24/7 TAC Non-Blowback CO2 Pellet Pistol looks a lot like a Real Steel Taurus 24/7 at first glance.

Pros:

  • Good weight and solid feeling gun. Lots of metal where you need it in the slide, magazine and other internals.
  • All metal full size drop out magazine holds CO2 and 16 pellets.
  • Decent looking replica (but not bang on) of a Taurus 24/7.
  • Not a lot of writing on the gun, very clean looking (Non Ranger version).
  • Recessed barrel helps with look of realism.
  • Fiber Optic front and back sights for easy sight acquisition.
  • Rifled barrel will help with accuracy.
  • Non-blowback operation with increased fps and CO2 efficiency.
  • Rail on top of slide and frame for lots of accessory add on options.
  • Double action trigger is long but not overly heavy so should be OK for action shooting.

Cons:

  • No blowback, slide is fixed and does not move but can be removed with a tool for internal access and cleaning.
  • No single action shooting so may not be the most accurate for slowed down shooting.
  • Sights are not adjustable but you can add an adjustable red dot to it using the rail setup.
  • Hard to tell when out of ammo, have to listen to the sound or count shots.
