Finding A Holster For The Taurus 709 Slim

Based on customer feedback and the success of some prior designs, the PT709 Slim was created by Taurus as a concealment weapon. Unlike the popular Millennium Pro series which is a double stack weapon, the 709 Slim is built on a single stack magazine. Only chambered for 9mm at this time, the magazine carries 7 rounds.

In 2009, the 709 Slim only came in a blued variation, but 2010, Taurus has added a total of 3 different variants to the 709 Slim family, including:

709B - Features a standard blued slide
709SS - Features a stainless steel slide
709Ti - Features a Titanium based slide

Like the Millennium Pro series, the frame of the 709 Slim is a polymer bonded substance reinforced with steel inserts. The inserts are strategically used in areas of additional stress. From a weight perspective, both the blued model (709B) and the stainless steel model (709SS) weigh 19 ounces unloaded. The more costly titanium style (709TI) weighs 2 ounces less.

Like many related Taurus firearms, the 709 Slim also features Taurus's patented double strike capability. The 709 usually functions as a single action pistol where the firing of the round cycles the spent shell, injects a new, unfired one, and cocks the internal hammer back for the next shot. However, should the round fire to fire, the Slim switches to double action mode so that the trigger resets and can be pulled again without manually cycling the slide. If the round fires on the 2nd trigger pull, the weapon goes back to single action. This is a really neat feature that is predominately only available on select Taurus weapons.

Like it's PT-111 cousin, the 709 Slim also features a manual safety that is easy to operate and is much like the thumb safety found on a 1911 weapon. Currently, the 709's are not factory equipped with a night sight configuration, but rumor has it that this may change soon. A good set of night sights is one aftermarket item that the 709 can certainly use.

As the 709 Slim has been on the market since mid-2009, finding a good gun holster for it shouldn't be too hard. It's size and weight make it an ideal choice for concealed carry. Although it could certainly be carried in a high riding belt holster, the 709 Slim is probably best suited for some type of inside the waistband holster.
