Just got a Taurus today

[Big J]

My wife had been looking fro a 9mm. We had been looking for awhile several different models. She has a Walther P22 and was looking for anther Walther because she would be familer with it. Her dad has a Taurus Slim that she had shot and liked. Today we found the same gun with 5 mags for a pretty good deal. I wish the mags were bigger, but I am a HC person.

Almost went with that over the LC9......was talked out of it by LGS and a buddy. Then you see all these failure threads on the LC9.....Now I am second guessing my decision

Did she end up going with the Slim or the LC9?

I own no less than a half dozen Taurus firearms, revolvers and semi's.

The only one I've EVER had any issue with is the TCP 380. Then again, I bought it from my niece, who bought it new, and had failure to eject problems right out of the box.

She decided she didn't like it and wanted a .22Lr revolver instead. I had more than one .22Lr revolver, so I traded her for the TCP.

I still haven't sent it back to Taurus yet, but it's still covered by the "Lifetime" warranty.

Other than another TCP, I would not hesitate to purchase another Taurus.

The only issue I've had with my PT745, and I've put over 5000 rounds through it, was while firing some UMC ammo. Other than that, it's eaten everything I've fed it. I don't take the decision of which gun will be my EDC lightly, and the 745 is my number 1 EDC. Congrats on your purchase!

Congrats to you and your wife!

Grats on the new gun! I have owned several Taurus handguns also and have nothing but good things to say about them and will not hesitate to get another one in future.

I owned 7 Taurus though the years and still have own 3. I've never had one issue with any of them. IMO they are one of the best deals around in firearms.

Slim

I have the slim. I love it.
Do be careful with the WWB because I know mine didn't feed well. Kept FTE-ing.

See this post makes me feel 100% better about my purchase, so thank you OP. I bought the Taurus PT111 9mm compact for just that - a compact piece to carry vs my other standard SR9, and I LOVE it. I've always hunted etc but am new to CC/OC - just getting my LTCH a few months ago. I wanted something that was reliable, felt right and under $400 which this 9mm was perfect. It was "slightly" used (I stripped it and could only find one visible mark on the outside and inside looked brand new) my dealer let me shoot 6 rounds through it and couldn't believe I hit 2/6 from 25yds. To all the haters - they are just that - haters! I proudly support Taurus! Also, I imagine people hate on them due to cost etc, but doing cost/spec comparisons - I don't see anything bad.

I have always been one to look for the best gun at the best price. That is why I own several brands that are not the "popular" ones everyone talks about. Taurus, Bersa, and Rock Island. Not sure if I have just been lucky, but never a problem out of any of them.

My 709 is a close friend and companion daily.

I love my PT92AR, have fun with yours!

I've owned a 709 slim and they are good guns. I now own a few Kahr's. And I wouldn't go back. The 709's a decent gun - I would just prefer one of the Kahr flavors over it.
