My new Taurus 709 SLim 9mm

Featured Replies

Bit the bullet and got a VERY good deal on one on Gun broker.

 

SHould be at either SS or Brick armory next Sunday to test her out.

 

Seems very well made, breaks down just like a glock and fits my hand very comfortably.

 

Was packed with a TON of grease, but she is clean and ready to go.

Been dry firing her for past 2 days.

 

If anyone wants to try her out next weekend, let me know :)

So I have spent the last several days dry firing her and I must say, i REALLY like the trigger and size of this gun/ergo's.

 

It really is the perfect size self defense/conceal gun.

 

I really like the 2nd strike capability (basically DA operation). The single action has a bit of getting used to as their is a decent amount of uptake, but their is no Resistance on the uptake at all. You then get to where it breaks and it breaks clean and the reset is VERY pronounced. NO grit like my old M&P trigger. VERY smooth and it is even broken in yet. I hear it smooths out considerably at the 500-800 rd mark.

 

I ordered a hogue grip and Keltec pinky extensions for the grips I have seen others successfully use.

 

I am excited to try her out at the range on Sunday.

 

Any of you Taurus haters want to come by, I will probably be at SS on Sunday.

Very cool. Do not forget to let us know how she shoots. :icon_e_smile:

Way to go Mike, don't let these old timers tell you Taurus guns are junk. Run her good, run her hard, and then run here with a good selection of defensive ammo and it'll be good to go!

She will get a mix of federal FMJ, Winchester silver tips and Speer Gold dot 124gr +p :)

Throw in some WWB, Wolf, Blazer Aluminum too!

When you pay for them ;)

 

I'm just saying run a bunch of ammo through her, the wolf and blazer aluminum are cheap. The Winchester stuff is pretty cheap too.

Shoot and worry about the stuff you're gonna carry. Forget about the rest of the stuff.

Just trying to help Mike run the gun and learn the trigger. Don't want to use expensive stuff for everything.

that is not a bad looking gun.. looks like it would be comfortable to hold..

 

 

You are more then welcome to try it out whenever you like. I will be at SS this Sunday late AM , early afternoon.

 

I have plenty of fedaral I will run thru it.

I have even more GD +p and winchester silver.

 

I prob wouldnt run much +p thru it, but I would use the silver tips in the house.

 

If I ever carry it, will probably be corbon power ball. Will cross that bridge when I get to it ;)

 

Now I just want to break her in. I am in the market for more CHEAP range ammo tho as I am sittin on waaaay more defensive 9mm now then range.;)

thank you much for the offer.. I will likely be riding this Sunday.. weather looks good.. I am pretty south also.. I need to get out and shoot with some of you guys once the weather breaks.. but this right now.. this is snowboard season.. so my guns don't get out much..

 

If I ever carry it, will probably be corbon power ball. Will cross that bridge when I get to it ;)

 

quite literally when you cross that bridge.. lol
