The 709 Slim is a compact, single-stack 9mm designed for everyday carry. It measures approximately 6.25 inches in overall length, about 4.5 inches in height, and roughly 1.08 inches in width, with an unloaded weight of around 19 ounces. This model was discontinued in the mid-2010s and bears markings for Taurus Int’l Mfg, Miami, FL – USA, and Made in Brazil.
Its striker-fired system features single-action with restrike capability, giving the shooter a second-strike option on a hard primer. Safety features include a manual thumb safety, a trigger safety blade, and a loaded chamber witness port.
The 3.2-inch stainless steel barrel is paired with a matte black slide that has rear grasping serrations and an external extractor. The polymer frame keeps weight down and includes molded texturing with the Taurus bull logo for secure handling.
Sights are a 3-dot setup with a dovetailed front blade and a dovetailed rear adjustable for windage and elevation. Notably, having an adjustable rear sight was uncommon among subcompact single-stack pistols of its era. This example also includes a trigger-guard-mounted red laser module with a stylized 'V' logo for an additional aiming reference.
