Has anyone here heard when the PT709 will be available for purchase?

Taurus USA introduced the PT709, which is an 8+1 slim 9mm pistol that weighs 19 ounces (no plans for a .40 Auto version, and even the 9mm one is not expected to be ready until late this year

A less expensive alternative is Kel-Tec. Either P11 or PF9

I have a Kel-Tec P32, even though it's built like a mouse trap I still like it. But I really don't want one in a 9mm, I don't need a bigger mouse trap.

Just wanted to make sure you knew what else was out there.

According to the Taurus rep that I talked to yesterday, the 709 is due to be released in December.

Sounds about right----but Doc, why didn't you ask about the 800 series also?

 

[Doctor_Venkman]

You mean this 800 series?

I forgot. Totally forgot to ask about a release date. Sorry guys.

According to the Taurus rep that I talked to yesterday, the 709 is due to be released in December.

We talked to two different reps. The one I talked to said release was scheduled for early November, on the 709. I wonder which rep was right. I forgot to ask about the 800 series too. But I love the hammer actually over the striker. I might consider that for sure.
