**Range Report** Taurus 709 Slim

[morrcarr67]

Well I got this Taurus 709 Slim for my birthday and I just got a chance to get out to the range today.

I have been reading others; on different forums, reviews on this and my gun was pretty much the same.

Shooting low. I had taken the little tool the Taurus gives you to adjust the sights but I couldn't get it in the screw and I didn't take any other tools with me to the range. So I had to do it the old fashion was, hold it high. I will make sure I have more tools with me on my next trip.

I really liked the single action trigger. This is also one of the things that drew me to this gun; as most guns in this size are double action only. I had read that there was a long reset on this gun but I don't think so and it resets very quickly. The SA trigger pull is crisp and break very nicely.

I had no malfunctions in the 50 rounds that I put through it and was very surprised with how easy it is to handle.

This one will be getting more range time and will be high on the carry list.

How far was that?

How far was that?

Sorry forgot that part.

10 yards one handed.

You just need to get use to the trigger. Looks like your anticipating the recoil and not use to the break of the trigger.

Were the lights on? ;-)

Yeah, the lights were on. I was having fun with the way the trigger was resetting. Being a SA pistol it was quite different from their 738 TCP that i had just shot and put down.

I agree. It really does have a nice trigger just a little different than my other SA's.

Is the other tool you refered to wouldn't be another pistol would it?
