Definitely not a good look for the manufacturer. It looks like that's a different model, though, and that it's been recalled:
In 2016, the PT24/7 was included in the settlement of a lawsuit which alleged that it, and certain other Taurus handguns, could fire accidentally if dropped and that Taurus covered up the safety defects. Without admitting guilt, the company paid $39 million, extended the warranties, and recalled the pistols for repair.
I wonder how common it is to test whether that type of accidental firing can happen or how quickly it would be discovered after the gun hits the market.
