This 709 Slim comes from Taurus’s Slim Series and emphasizes a narrow, micro-size footprint while maintaining a 7+1 single-stack capacity. The pistol uses a striker-fired, short-recoil system with a single-action trigger and DA restrike capability, providing a second-strike option if needed. Controls include a left-side magazine release and a left-side manual thumb safety.
The slide features rear serrations for grasping and a loaded chamber viewport for a quick status check. Sights are a practical 3-dot setup, with a fixed blade front and a screw-adjustable rear sight to fine-tune point of impact. The matte black slide complements the integral polymer frame with molded grip texture (Taurus logo).
Dimensions are compact and easy to manage: approximately 6.24 in long, 4.52 in high, and about 1.0–1.04 in wide, with an unloaded weight of roughly 19 oz. The 3.2 in barrel balances concealability and ballistic performance for a micro-format 9mm. One 7-round magazine is included, fitted with a grip extension baseplate for added purchase.
Markings include the model designation “709 Slim 9 mm” on the slide, “Made in Brazil” with the Taurus crest, and the “Taurus Int’l Mfg, Miami, FL – USA” import mark. Serial markings are located on the barrel hood and the underside of the frame. The design is part of Taurus’s Slim Series lineage.
Safety features are comprehensive: a manual thumb safety, trigger safety, and firing pin block. This example does not have the Taurus Security System (key lock).
