I put a Hogue Handall Jr on my PT709 Slim, upside down. Same as I did with my PF9 and DB380.jeeperbryan wrote:Having shot both the PTSlim and the PT111, I'd definitely recommend the Slim over the 111. It is much more ergonomic, much more concealable, and not quite as ugly. They're both ugly but the Slim is somewhat better.
The PT709 Stainless is my snake gun/BUG when kayaking. with CCI snake shot as chambered round, followed by JHP.
I like it because it's Stainless and the thumb safety for a thin SOB (small of Back) or pocket carry (as a BUG to my Glock 26)
The slim compared to a PF9 and some other thin 9mms, Slim has a huge area for a trigger finger, better for Winter with gloves on.
I'm sort of irritated at Taurus for failing to produce the "Extended Magazine" they originally said they'd have for it.
I've carried in an all kydex holster, and a Kholster, probably in some model Uncle Mikes model nylon, or a Desantis "Tuck This 2" and ... with thumb safety on, in my life jacket pocket in a little holster I made from an old wallet+eyeglass case+electrical/duct tape (not pretty, but fish don''t care).
