My 709 came with a polished feed ramp as did all my other Taurus guns. It is standard for them to do this. Do clean out the Taurus preservative and re-lube the gun before you shoot it.

I use the Pearce grip extension myself. They are nice. Just make sure that if you do get them, do not put too much pressure on the extension as it can cause feeding issues. Just use it to get your pinky on it.

Thanks all of you for the input Garrison it is, extensions on the way free shipping also $16.94 to my door. I have Pearce on my XD sub but the Garrison looks a bit taller for my big hand. I ordered 2 just incase I ever run in to an extra 709 mag somewhere.

My 709 feed ramp was also polished. Mine came with two mags, and I have seen them at Scheels and I think Bass Pro for around $39.
