Frequently Asked Questions
Taurus 709 Slim for sale
Is the Taurus 709 Slim a good gun?
Opinions vary. Some users report reliable performance after a break-in period, while others experienced feeding failures and sight problems. It's a budget-friendly compact 9mm, but inconsistent quality control is a recurring complaint. Some reviewers praise it highly as a concealed carry option and use it as their everyday carry pistol.
Is the Taurus 709 Slim discontinued?
Yes, Taurus discontinued the PT709 Slim, phasing it out in favor of the G2C and G3C models. Used and new-old-stock examples still appear occasionally through secondary retailers, typically priced around $200–$250, but availability is limited.
What ammo does a Taurus 709 Slim take?
The Taurus 709 Slim chambers 9mm Luger (9x19mm) ammunition. Use standard pressure rounds from major brands. Do not use +P ammunition — Taurus only approves +P in models specifically designated for it, and firing +P in other models may be unsafe, not merely a wear concern. Confirm 9mm handgun ammunition at purchase.
What is the capacity of the Taurus 709 Slim magazine?
The Taurus PT709 Slim magazine holds 7 rounds. With one round chambered, total capacity is 7+1. Its single-stack design keeps the pistol slim enough for concealed carry.
What is the recoil like on a Taurus 709 Slim?
The PT709 Slim produces moderate recoil typical of compact 9mm pistols. It's manageable for most shooters, though the lightweight frame means more felt recoil than full-size guns. The encapsulated recoil spring helps somewhat. Most users find it acceptable for concealed carry despite occasional snappiness.
What magazines are compatible with Taurus 709 Slim?
The Taurus 709 Slim uses proprietary 9mm magazines. ProMag makes multiple compatible aftermarket options, including 7-round (TAU 20), 10-round, and 15-round blue steel magazines. Original Taurus magazines are scarce since production ended; check specialty retailers or gun parts sites like GunBroker or MidwayUSA. Verify fit before purchase.
Will a Taurus fit in a Glock holster?
Not reliably. Glock holsters are molded for specific Glock dimensions. Some Taurus models share similar profiles and may fit loosely, but poor retention creates safety risks. Use a holster designed for your specific Taurus model.
What is the Taurus 709 Slim made of?
The Taurus PT709 Slim has a polymer frame and steel slide, available in blued or stainless finishes. This combination results in a weight of approximately 19 ounces.
