Taurus PT709 Stainless vs New Taurus G2S

They are available everywhere online. All of my local Academy's also has them. I say keep the 709 and buy a G2C as well.

Thank you I will check my local Sports Academy stores. I'm thinking maybe the nice grip and accessory rail might be worth the trade.

All depends on YOUR hand grip
I have the pt111 and 709 , the pt111 fits MY hand a little better but the 709 conceals better

I choose the Pt111 ( same as G2C ) because of the fit and my Lt index finger goes in the front of the trigger guard

If I'm not mistaken, the 709 will have the lifetime warranty, and the G2S will not... makes all the difference to me.

Personally I like the looks of the 709. It's stylishly different! Hang on to it!

The 709 is a great gun. Just to be sure you are talking about the G2"S" as in single stack? Considering the money you will most likely lose I would stick with the 709. If you were looking at the G2"C" I might take the financial loss for the increased ammo in the double stack and with just marginal increase in gun size.

Sorry I read G2C I am a idiot! So I changed my mind, buy the G2S and the G2C and keep the 709!

Just walked out of Academy they don't have the G2S. Got some hollows for my pt709 though

Excellent point.

I have the G 2 because of the capacity 12 rounds in a small package.

i use to owne the pt709 and it was great, then i thought i am better off with the double stack g2c but after all i regret my choice, the pt was blued and way better to cc. dont get me wrong i think the g2c is also hell of a shooter but i miss my pt, specialy after i got rid of the safety key thing

I had a lot of trouble with my 709 so it's history. Biggest problem, the slide tarnished something awful. You've solved that with the SS. Second problem, was failure to feed + I believe that was mostly ammo. My 709 didn't like light loads (85gr). If you experience the same problem, either put more rounds thru it or avoid the light bullet weights.
