I shot my 709 until I got tired of loading the mags. Had bought another mag from Taurus. Over 230 in one sitting, no misfires. My barrel is blued. Good luck with it.
Wow that's awesome. I really wanted to love this gun ,but haven't had any luck with it, thought maybe I was limp writing it (as I can with any of my Glocks and Beretta) so double handed tight and still no luck, was gonna try a new rod and spring but none available, guess I'll try new mag as this factory one is only one I have
this is true with anything man made , but i also have a Millennium Pro. 45 and its the same way. ive tried polishing ramp and battery with no luck and even bought another mag to try with the slim but it wouldn't even shoot so i sent it right back. im not impressed with these older models and i cant even get spring and rod to try that as i cant find for either gun, I do have a G3 and its a much better quality build and no issues with it to date. but i still prefer my Glocks for EDC as I feel i can definitely depend on them and very accurate, thanks for watching Vassmotorsports and hope ya check out some of my other videos
I have one a PT709 slim and shot 200 rounds through it and never had a problem. I do favor the more rounded bullets although less chances of jam up weather solid or hollow points. My pistol is very accurate to!!!
I ran some Winchester and thought it was doing good but then some jammed also. Not sure what's wrong with this one, thanks for watching Vassmotorsports and hope ya check out some of my other videos
I have had what seemed like the two prongs on the magazine, that holds the rounds in place, bent to far inwards. This caused a failure to load. After bending the prongs outwards just slightly the failure went away.
I would definitely try. Out of nine total Tarus pistols I've owned , only had trouble with the one. Still have seven of them. I have a Sig 365 and I think the g3c shoots just as good.
Ive tried different ammo and another aftermarket mag that wouldn't even shoot 2 in a row so sent it back, polished ramp and battery with no change. Have a Millennium Pro. 45 same way , dont like these older model at all, i have a G3 and its been flawless and feels much better built ,but ill stick with my Glocks for EDC as all of them have been flawless and i can depend on them. Thanks for watching Vassmotorsports and hope ya check out some of my other videos
Trust me I tried multiple times and even polished feedramp and chamber. It doesn't even make it to the ramp and chamber and nose of bullet will be right below it and I can wiggle barrel loosely when bullet is jammed, I tried an aftermarket mag and it wouldn't shoot hardly at all and sent it right back for a refund
ill just stick with any of my Glocks for my EDC. I do trust those with my life , im gonna contact Taurus one day and see if something can be done as these 2 are useless and just sit in their boxes , I cant find parts anywhere for them like Rod and spring to see if that helps. , tried 5 different kinds of ammo or more none run thru them
I polished ramp and battery, tried different amounts of oil on slide rails. Different ammo, nothing works so far. It doesn't even get to the ramp and I can wiggle barrel freely when bullet is jammed. I tried an aftermarket Mag Pro magazine and it wouldn't even fire ,I stuck it right in pack and sent back. I shot some Winchester and that's the best it done but still hang ups. And I have a Millennium Pro. 45 that is same way. I'll stick to my Glocks for EDC. I do have a G3 and it's better quality build and it's been flawless, guess that's why they discontinued these other models
Sure wish i knew what was wrong with mine. Tried a bunch different ammo and doesnt like any, and tried an aftermarket mag and it wouldn't even shoot so i sent it back. I cant find any parts for these like the spring and rod i was gonna try a new one ,ive polished ramp and battery and experimented with different amounts of oil on slide rails and nothing helps. Even light primer stikes sometimes and have to eject bullet and when i put it back in itll fire that bullet ,mine is junk
They don't make it anymore,but you can still send it back. If they can't fix it they give you msrp credit on something else on there site. You have to pay the difference on whatever you pick. I sent in a pt 738tcp that the just gave me credit for something else. I got a g3. Had to pay 80 bucks difference in price. They sent it to an ffl dealer of my choice. So that's an option.
@@alvinsturgeon5291 i was thinking about that but im not the original owner so didn't know if that matters. I also have s G3 and its built alot better and i haven't had any issues out of it.
I'm not positive on the owner transfer. Maybe look on their site. I also have the g2c,g3c, and a tx22. They all run flawlessly. You could also call the customer service and ask.
@@alvinsturgeon5291 yeah i guess i need to cause both are no good to me the way they are. I have few different Glocks i use and choose as my EDC depending on where im going or what im doing , thankfully never have a problem out of those ,and a Beretta 92fs i love but a little big and heavy for carry to me ,so these 2 Taurus have just been sitting and i need to do something with them
It's just wierd cause I took apart ,cleaned and oiled before I ever shot it. But second time I put oil in grooves on slide and stood up on end while cleaning rest of gun till it ran all the way down the slots and it did seem to fix the issue, I shot again just other day and still doing great. Did same to the Millennium Pro. 45 in my other video that was hanging up and seems to have fixed it too ,thanks for watching Vassmotorsports
I've tried a few different brands and thought the Winchester was gonna work ,then it did the same thing but not as often. I have a PT145 Millennium Pro. 45 and it's the same way. Thought it liked hollow points(cause the short nose) better but still had a few failures with that too , i polished the ramp and battery area but they get caught before even touching the feedramp. I definitely want to like them but I sure won't depend on them or carry them, I'll stick to my Glocks. But I also have a G3 and it's been great and flawless, I can definitely tell a big difference in quality and feel of how the newer gens are made compared to the older discontinued models, thanks for the feedback and watching Vassmotorsports
Get another magazine to eliminate that as being an issue and it's always good to have a spare mag or two. Lightly polish the breech face, the chamber, the feed ramp, and the lockup points on the barrel. Polish the ramp on the underside of the slide. Lightly oil and shoot a box or two to mate all of the moving parts. Good luck.
Thanks for watching Vassmotorsports and the feedback, I did polish the ramp and points on the barrel, also have shot atleast 100 rds or more thru trying to break in ,I did order an 8 rd mag while ago and gonna see if it helps
You need to polish the barrel where the bullet goes into the in the battery because it's not going all the way into battery I just bought one for the same reason clean mine up and it works like
thanks but i did polished ramp and battery, the bullet never reaches the ramp even most of the time. when it jams i can still wiggle the barrel freely and see nose of bullet is just bellow the ramp. i tried a new mag and it wouldn't fire 2 in a row so sent it right back. ,tried different amounts of oil on the rails and nothing helps. 5 different ammo and no difference, just got a crap dud , I have a Millennium Pro. 45 same way
My g2c hates magtech too. It runs everything else that I shoot at the range. My th9c shoots magtech though. Yesterday at the range the g2c did the exact same thing.
Thanks for the feedback, in the video I took it in shop and oiled up the grooves in the slid real good and it did great after that 4 mgs. Then I shot again today just to see and no malfunctions with same ammo ,so maybe it just needed the heavy oil and/or breaking in little
I just got a g2c and a tx22.... they fit better in my hands compared to the 709 but love them all... the 709 is going to my wife, and she just got the sccy cpx-2 9mm
I have a 709 slim. I’ve probably run more than 1000 rounds with no issues. I’ve shot high end hollow points and Tulammo with no issues. Maybe you got the one that was made on Friday afternoon. I also have a Millennium that I’ve run more than 1000 rounds through with no issues. I did have a Beretta .40 cal that always jammed on the last round until I got a new magazine. Having said all of that, I would not use that particular firearm for personal defense. The G3 should have adjustable sights.
thanks for the feedback, yes this one is junk. ive tried so many things cleaning and polished ramp, aftermarket mag that wouldn't even shoot so sent it back, and my Millennium Pro. 45 is about the same. doesnt matter what ammo , I wouldn't dare carry these , i do have a G3 that seems a lot better build quality and no flaws so far. but my Glocks are what i use for EDC as thankfully they shoot great and very dependable. I also have a Beretta fs92 9mm and its a great smooth gun but little big for my liking to carry , thanks for watching Vassmotorsports and hope ya check out some of my other videos
I've tried 115 and 124. Fmj and hollow points, it just doesn't run them. Tried one of the aftermarket mags and it wouldn't even shoot so sent it right back , Winchester ammo was only one I thought was doing good then it still jammed some
Thanks, ill check it out. I know the bullet never makes it to the ramp and gets jammed. I can wiggle the barrel freely when its jammed too , I started shooting hollow points and thought it liked them cause the short nose. but every once in a while still jam one.so i definitely dont carry it and stick with my Glocks for EDC, this one has 2 factory mags and same way with both
Gon't ride the slide or limp wrist it and you may have better results. Also, break-in sometimes take 100 rounds or so. 709 is a decent gun, they work fine and last a long time. Can't believe that you are shooting towards the road!
ive tried holding as tight as i can and no difference, tried polishing ramp and battery no change, tried Pro Mag magazine and wouldn't even shoot 2 in a row so sent it right back. tried many different ammo and nothing makes a difference, cant find a rod and spring replacement anywhere , have a Millennium Pro. 45 the same way. these 2 are definitely junk or lemmons , I have a G3 that is definitely better build quality and no flaws from it. What good is a gun if i cant shoot one handed ? All of my Glocks will shoot all day flawless no matter how loose i hold them and thats why they are my EDC's of choice. thanks for watching Vassmotorsports and hope ya check out some of my other videos, and my road is dead end so very little to no traffic out here in the country. just look both ways before unloading. plus Im shooting much lower than the actual street
This has been my edc for the past 11 years over 3k rounds through it never had an issue. Perfect edc! You definitely got a dud which does happen unfortunately, I hope you contacted Taurus.
i agree can get a dud with anything man made. I didn't contact Taurus yet as i always carry my Glocks for EDC and this Taurus and a Millennium pro .45 just sit as its the same way and i cant depend on them for anything and no fun to shoot , I do want to contact them soon and see if anything can be done as these are worthless to me , i have a G3 and its alot better feeling build quality and it has been flawless. thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching Vassmotorsports and hope ya check out some of my other videos
i already tried. and an aftermarket mag that wouldn't shoot 2 in a row so i sent it back. bullet gets stuck before it even reaches the ramp ,and can still wiggle barrel freely, have a Millennium Pro. 45 the same way and tried 5 different brands ammo with no change
My G3 and G3C are super accurate. Actually ive shot some of my tightest groups with my G3, even well beyond normal pistol range and they'll eat anything. Idk whats wrong with yours but every single one I've ever had has been great. Ive shot all kinds of different ammo through them too, and i do shoot a lot btw, every week to be specific lol. I own and have owned several different and more expensive pistols than these but I have no reservations about them at all. Ive been very impressed with them actually but ive never had a 709.
Thanks for watching Vassmotorsports. I also have a Millennium Pro. 45 and it does the same as this slim. Although I've figured out the .45 likes hollow point, I guess because the shorter nose of the bullet and it chambers easier, maybe that's why they are discontinued and I can't find any parts like the rod and spring, I do have a G3 and it has ran flawless so far and no complaints with it. Actually a nice gun for the price. To me it's a knock of my son's FN , haha. But I still love all my Glocks and one of my favorites to shoot is my Beretta FS92 , has such a great feel and accurate as can be but not a concealable gun
thats one of the things i thought about and tried a brand new mag pro but it was even worse and jammed every bullet or 2 and i sent it right back for refund. ive tried polishing ramp and battery and nothing is working, I have a Millennium Pro. 45 same way with 2 factory mags. im just not sure and definitely not happy with these , i do have a G3 and it seems alot better build quality and been flawless so far. , but I stick to my Glocks for EDC. thanks for watching Vassmotorsports and hope ya check out some of my other videos
Thanks and Thanks for watching Vassmotorsports, I'll have to check that out. I did oil the rails really heavy and it's been doing fine ever since ,same with my Taurus PT109 Millennium Pro .45 was doing same thing and seems to have fixed it
How experienced are you with small hand guns. It looks like you’re limp wristing it. Yours recoils way more than any gun I’ve ever seen. Even other 709 slim.
You are correct, I don't have lots of experience except my revolver which can't jam , I did start holding tight and it seems better but it doesn't like FMJ as much as hollow point ,I guess because the shallow nose length, also I can shoot any of my Glocks and Beretta 92fs one handed all day no issues ,so I'm still not sold on the slim 9 or pt145 Millennium. It's same way. But my G3 can shoot either and one hand and still no issues with it either
I don’t think it’s the magazine. Their magazines are usually pretty good. I bet if you shoot a couple hundred through it then it gets better. I’m not an expert either but the recoil spring seems too weak. Aftermarket recoil springs are cheap and often better than factory.
I may try the spring ,thanks , I took and oiled the slide rails again heavily and it hasn't jammed up again ,I agree might be breaking in , thanks for watching Vassmotorsports
@@Vassmotorsports I know a few people who carry that pistol as their backup and overall I think it’s better than the newer GX4 just not quite as slick looking.
@mikelivingston6157 It's not a bad looking gun, Not my favorite thing that it only holds six, especially after having a few that hold anywhere from 12 to 17 But they're a lot thicker handle then this, But I do see where it gets his name Slim
I've tried 4 different kind thru this one and it doesn't seem to matter, also had couple light primer strikes that wouldn't fire ,so I ejected and when mag was finally empty I put that bullet back in and it shot , I kept saying I was gonna try another mag until that happened, now the .45 Millennium Pro I figured out only thing it'll shoot is hollow points, I guess because the shorter nose ,they don't get stuck before getting chambered, ive just been enjoying my other guns that don't act up lol
i just a have a junk one , thats why they are $200 or less. what kinda quality do you expect? i have a Millennium Pro. 45 the same way , no wonder they're discontinued. I have a G3 and its a much better quality especially for $300 and its been flawless so far and a good beside the bed gun with the light i have and also a Lakeline barrel
yes i have this one and a Millennium Pro. 45 same way, both are useless to me as i dont trust and they get on my nerves. i have a G3 and its built much better quality and haven't had a failure yet, but i still EDC any of my Glocks as ive never had a problem out of any of them with any ammo and can rely on them if ever needed ,thanks for watching Vassmotorsports and hope ya check out some of my other videos
thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching Vassmotorsports and hope ya check out some of my other videos sometime, hate how i cant find any parts like i wanted to try new spring and rod but none available
I have noticed in the last 8 years there has been a decline in Taurus production and quality i bought a brand new g2 pt111 and been having a lot of problems with light primer strikes ,i have sent it back to the co pany twice and they say nothing is wrong with it ,my father bought a pt 24/7 and it discharged a round by itself while lying on a dresser so im real unhappy with Taurus products anymore
Oh wow I'm sorry to hear that. Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching Vassmotorsports, im not happy with them either and I can't find any replacement parts ,so I believe I'm selling these 2. I do have the G3 also and will be doing a review video on it soon. I have not had any failures with it yet and seems like a better built gun than these older models, although hearing that about your G2 makes me wonder. But im not at all impressed with the slim 9mm and Millennium Pro. 45. Very poor quality builds ,and I understand ya get what ya pay for but I have a Sccy 9mm gen 2 and not one failure or complaint from it except if you want to run a few mags the trigger is a heavy pull after a while
@TruthGotGunz sure I don't know what I'm talking about, then why is my guns jamming failure to feed every couple bullets ? I finally figured out that the .45 only likes hollow point, I guess cause the shorter nose, it doesn't get stuck trying to load into chamber , the slim 9 also did light primmer strike last week and I tried pulling trigger a few times for restrike but wouldn't fire the bullet so I ejected it thinking the bullet was bad , when I emptied the mag I put that bullet back in and it fired then ,so yes some of them are junk , like I said the G3 feels alot better build and no issues with it yet
@@Vassmotorsports you’re blaming every gun Taurus made based off your gun? 🤦🏿♂️ I thought a Glock brand new I had to send back a week later I didn’t blame Glock as a whole for being trash, I just got a bad seed 🤦🏿♂️ yall kill me with this bs
@TruthGotGunz I already said my G3 is fine , but these 2 older guns that they discontinued anyway have been nothing but trouble, and I see other people and hear of plenty other people also having issues with Taurus, I haven't had one issue with any of my Glocks or Beretta, even my cheap SCCY, but these 2 Taurus I can't depend on are junk to me , so as a whole I m not big on Taurus company, that being said I'm not getting rid of my G3 and actually love it. I hate I can't find any parts for the older Taurus models tho
Wow that's wild. My glocks run smooth on even cheap stuff so far anything I've ran thro have been flawless, .380. 9mm. And 10mm. I did find enough Winchester 9mm to run 2 mags thru this slim 9mm and it did good with those. I'll have to try a box sometime, thanks for watching Vassmotorsports and hope ya check out some of my other videos
@Vassmotorsports Back when ammunition was so tight I ran across a bunch of it in different Cals so I bought it up a bunch for range ammo. Really dirty, smokey, dusty with almost a graphite residue. Almost like it had a filler or a huge amount of unburned powder. Now the revolver stuff works fine. Other than dirty. The 42, 43, and 17 just don't like it, the 21 tolerated it Hang up, short cycling failure to eject. I burned the last of it up last week in essentially a single shot 42. Now the brass itself seems pretty decent though. So I might be able to get some good reloads out of it. Ironically, I've shot Wolf and all the other cheap brands for years and haven't had an issue.
@@alvinsturgeon5291 i have two older taurus the slim 9mm and Millennium Pro. 45 and cant find any ammo that will run good in them ,but all my other guns run anything flawless
haha thanks, I already have a 26 and few other Glocks that are my EDC's. they're definitely something i feel I can depend on and never had any issues out of them. These taurus are junk as far as im concerned
Have both in 740 slim and 709 slim also have a pt111 G2 9mm, excellent pistol and have various calibers and pistols in Taurus and and other brands, magtec worked in my other caliber options but my 380s and my small 709 does not work reliable,, some new guns require a break in period using FMJ round, could be the magazine lip slightly bent Not had any problems with mine But most of mine are used and most look like that they were unfired or very little my biggest gun i ever fired was a 8" 203 mm self propelled artillery gun 🤠👍direct and indirect fire, and direct fire is AWESOME✨💥✨💥 😎💯 Try different FMJ and JHP some work and some don't have several 1911a1 in 45 acp and some Taurus pistols in 45 acp Some like Hydra shok and Starfire and some don't, and some of my pistols are the same brand, but you have to find what is best, have,3 pt738 in 380 acp , one My new one fires any brand of 380, but one of my other ones don't like Starfire,magtech, or gold Dot, but fmj, and Corbon works?, just find the right brand that works 110,% some of mine still needs more rounds, I have some that I need to shoot around 120 rounds to get the recommended 300 or more manufacturers break-in count
Thanks for watching Vassmotorsports, ive tried few different brands threw it and FMJ and hollow point, but it seems to jam on any , I only have the one mag so I'm gonna try another one and see if that helps , tried polishing feed ramp and didn't help, it's used and fired before I got it , same with my Millennium Pro. 45 except I figured out it does like hollow points, but I don't feel I can trust either of these. I have a G3 and it's been flawless and seems like a much better build. I have few different caliber Glocks and love them and never an issue yet ,also my Beretta 92FS is probably my favorite and a reputation that backs it up
Without seeing the magazine , but I think it might be something that is slightly off, maybe the spring or follower or feed lip on the magazine, mine only came with a 7 round, and i bought 2 /8 round magazines off E-bay they also have 10 round magazines but have not tried them, but the 8 round ones work My 740 slim came with two 6 round magazines, but I have thought about getting another one for it, but my slims are a second back up and pocket carry My EDC is a Glock 33 gen3 with night sights and a Lazer Max guide rod Lazer and 125 grain sig elite v-crown And a Taurus 3,"ported stainless 327 magnum and 100 grain gold dot JHP and a one of my Taurus pt738 with 102 grain golden saber and corbon 90 grain+p ,and extra speed loaders and spare magazines , loads of 1 ball and 1 JHP in 380, JHP in 357 sig and 327 magnum Carry but 2 speed loaders with 3 100 grain fmj and 3 gold dot 100 grain or 115 grain JHP Maybe your 709 slim load a JHP and a FMJ 🤔
@13BravoBiggunsM110SP I seen the 8 and 10 round mags on ebay and want to try 8 rd and see if it helps. I was actually gonna order while ago and got busy but now you got me placing my order as soon as I finish this message haha. Hopefully that's the problem,
@@Vassmotorsports I kinda want to get 2 of the 10 rounds and spare 7 round magazines, but I'm still kicking it around , but I did get 2/ 15 round magazines for the pt 111G2 that actually holds 16 rounds, Came with 2/12 round magazines , they also have a 32 round magazines also, might have to get a few, especially since we have this invasion of our country 🇺🇸,🤔 it's not going to pleasant and it's not going to get better either 🤨 ,
@13BravoBiggunsM110SP I agree with that. I just ordered an 8 rd and want to see if it fixes my issue. I don't want to spend any for more mags till I know cause if it doesn't work I'll be selling it anyways , I'm looking for a nice 1911 cause I missed a hell of a deal on a Kimber custom ii few weeks ago and still kicking myself cause was such a sweet deal , the dang pawn shop gave him the cash that evening before I could go meet him and now I want one ,doesn't have to be Kimber but wish I could have scored that one

I had that problem too, but lubricating the ramp and the slide corrected the issue. Since then I’ve had no problems whatsoever.

Get another magazine to eliminate that as being an issue and it's always good to have a spare mag or two. Lightly polish the breech face, the chamber, the feed ramp, and the lockup points on the barrel. Polish the ramp on the underside of the slide. Lightly oil and shoot a box or two to mate all of the moving parts. Good luck.
Thanks for watching Vassmotorsports and the feedback, I did polish the ramp and points on the barrel, also have shot atleast 100 rds or more thru trying to break in ,I did order an 8 rd mag while ago and gonna see if it helps
@@Vassmotorsports these are great little guns when they run right. Hope it works out for you.
You need to polish the barrel where the bullet goes into the in the battery because it's not going all the way into battery I just bought one for the same reason clean mine up and it works like
thanks but i did polished ramp and battery, the bullet never reaches the ramp even most of the time. when it jams i can still wiggle the barrel freely and see nose of bullet is just bellow the ramp. i tried a new mag and it wouldn't fire 2 in a row so sent it right back. ,tried different amounts of oil on the rails and nothing helps. 5 different ammo and no difference, just got a crap dud , I have a Millennium Pro. 45 same way
My g2c hates magtech too. It runs everything else that I shoot at the range. My th9c shoots magtech though. Yesterday at the range the g2c did the exact same thing.
Thanks for the feedback, in the video I took it in shop and oiled up the grooves in the slid real good and it did great after that 4 mgs. Then I shot again today just to see and no malfunctions with same ammo ,so maybe it just needed the heavy oil and/or breaking in little
I just got a g2c and a tx22.... they fit better in my hands compared to the 709 but love them all... the 709 is going to my wife, and she just got the sccy cpx-2 9mm
Looks like it worked good after you oiled it. They build them tight. Just needed shot some. 🇺🇸
Yes it seems to have done the trick.
I have a 709 slim. I’ve probably run more than 1000 rounds with no issues. I’ve shot high end hollow points and Tulammo with no issues. Maybe you got the one that was made on Friday afternoon. I also have a Millennium that I’ve run more than 1000 rounds through with no issues.
I did have a Beretta .40 cal that always jammed on the last round until I got a new magazine.
Having said all of that, I would not use that particular firearm for personal defense.
The G3 should have adjustable sights.
thanks for the feedback, yes this one is junk. ive tried so many things cleaning and polished ramp, aftermarket mag that wouldn't even shoot so sent it back, and my Millennium Pro. 45 is about the same. doesnt matter what ammo , I wouldn't dare carry these , i do have a G3 that seems a lot better build quality and no flaws so far. but my Glocks are what i use for EDC as thankfully they shoot great and very dependable. I also have a Beretta fs92 9mm and its a great smooth gun but little big for my liking to carry , thanks for watching Vassmotorsports and hope ya check out some of my other videos
I have a 709 slim, and it hates 115 grain ammo…. Once I used a heavier bullet it’s been a beast….
I've tried 115 and 124. Fmj and hollow points, it just doesn't run them. Tried one of the aftermarket mags and it wouldn't even shoot so sent it right back , Winchester ammo was only one I thought was doing good then it still jammed some
Check the ejector and see where it’s pushing and ejecting the cartridge, might be the issue.
Thanks, ill check it out. I know the bullet never makes it to the ramp and gets jammed. I can wiggle the barrel freely when its jammed too , I started shooting hollow points and thought it liked them cause the short nose. but every once in a while still jam one.so i definitely dont carry it and stick with my Glocks for EDC, this one has 2 factory mags and same way with both
Gon't ride the slide or limp wrist it and you may have better results. Also, break-in sometimes take 100 rounds or so. 709 is a decent gun, they work fine and last a long time. Can't believe that you are shooting towards the road!
ive tried holding as tight as i can and no difference, tried polishing ramp and battery no change, tried Pro Mag magazine and wouldn't even shoot 2 in a row so sent it right back. tried many different ammo and nothing makes a difference, cant find a rod and spring replacement anywhere , have a Millennium Pro. 45 the same way. these 2 are definitely junk or lemmons , I have a G3 that is definitely better build quality and no flaws from it. What good is a gun if i cant shoot one handed ? All of my Glocks will shoot all day flawless no matter how loose i hold them and thats why they are my EDC's of choice. thanks for watching Vassmotorsports and hope ya check out some of my other videos, and my road is dead end so very little to no traffic out here in the country. just look both ways before unloading. plus Im shooting much lower than the actual street
This has been my edc for the past 11 years over 3k rounds through it never had an issue. Perfect edc!
You definitely got a dud which does happen unfortunately, I hope you contacted Taurus.
i agree can get a dud with anything man made. I didn't contact Taurus yet as i always carry my Glocks for EDC and this Taurus and a Millennium pro .45 just sit as its the same way and i cant depend on them for anything and no fun to shoot , I do want to contact them soon and see if anything can be done as these are worthless to me , i have a G3 and its alot better feeling build quality and it has been flawless. thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching Vassmotorsports and hope ya check out some of my other videos
Polisher polish your feed ramp and
i already tried. and an aftermarket mag that wouldn't shoot 2 in a row so i sent it back. bullet gets stuck before it even reaches the ramp ,and can still wiggle barrel freely, have a Millennium Pro. 45 the same way and tried 5 different brands ammo with no change
My G3 and G3C are super accurate. Actually ive shot some of my tightest groups with my G3, even well beyond normal pistol range and they'll eat anything. Idk whats wrong with yours but every single one I've ever had has been great. Ive shot all kinds of different ammo through them too, and i do shoot a lot btw, every week to be specific lol. I own and have owned several different and more expensive pistols than these but I have no reservations about them at all. Ive been very impressed with them actually but ive never had a 709.
Thanks for watching Vassmotorsports. I also have a Millennium Pro. 45 and it does the same as this slim. Although I've figured out the .45 likes hollow point, I guess because the shorter nose of the bullet and it chambers easier, maybe that's why they are discontinued and I can't find any parts like the rod and spring, I do have a G3 and it has ran flawless so far and no complaints with it. Actually a nice gun for the price. To me it's a knock of my son's FN , haha. But I still love all my Glocks and one of my favorites to shoot is my Beretta FS92 , has such a great feel and accurate as can be but not a concealable gun
Perhaps it’s the magazine that came with it idk just a hunch
thats one of the things i thought about and tried a brand new mag pro but it was even worse and jammed every bullet or 2 and i sent it right back for refund. ive tried polishing ramp and battery and nothing is working, I have a Millennium Pro. 45 same way with 2 factory mags. im just not sure and definitely not happy with these , i do have a G3 and it seems alot better build quality and been flawless so far. , but I stick to my Glocks for EDC. thanks for watching Vassmotorsports and hope ya check out some of my other videos
try a bit of froglube...
Thanks and Thanks for watching Vassmotorsports, I'll have to check that out. I did oil the rails really heavy and it's been doing fine ever since ,same with my Taurus PT109 Millennium Pro .45 was doing same thing and seems to have fixed it
How experienced are you with small hand guns. It looks like you’re limp wristing it. Yours recoils way more than any gun I’ve ever seen. Even other 709 slim.
You are correct, I don't have lots of experience except my revolver which can't jam , I did start holding tight and it seems better but it doesn't like FMJ as much as hollow point ,I guess because the shallow nose length, also I can shoot any of my Glocks and Beretta 92fs one handed all day no issues ,so I'm still not sold on the slim 9 or pt145 Millennium. It's same way. But my G3 can shoot either and one hand and still no issues with it either
I don’t think it’s the magazine. Their magazines are usually pretty good. I bet if you shoot a couple hundred through it then it gets better. I’m not an expert either but the recoil spring seems too weak. Aftermarket recoil springs are cheap and often better than factory.
I may try the spring ,thanks , I took and oiled the slide rails again heavily and it hasn't jammed up again ,I agree might be breaking in , thanks for watching Vassmotorsports
@@Vassmotorsports I know a few people who carry that pistol as their backup and overall I think it’s better than the newer GX4 just not quite as slick looking.
@mikelivingston6157 It's not a bad looking gun, Not my favorite thing that it only holds six, especially after having a few that hold anywhere from 12 to 17 But they're a lot thicker handle then this, But I do see where it gets his name Slim
Mine runs any ammo,even magtec.
I've tried 4 different kind thru this one and it doesn't seem to matter, also had couple light primer strikes that wouldn't fire ,so I ejected and when mag was finally empty I put that bullet back in and it shot , I kept saying I was gonna try another mag until that happened, now the .45 Millennium Pro I figured out only thing it'll shoot is hollow points, I guess because the shorter nose ,they don't get stuck before getting chambered, ive just been enjoying my other guns that don't act up lol
Maybe you need to get in touch with your 9 mm so you'll fully understand how it functions. Quit trying to put the pistol down
i just a have a junk one , thats why they are $200 or less. what kinda quality do you expect? i have a Millennium Pro. 45 the same way , no wonder they're discontinued. I have a G3 and its a much better quality especially for $300 and its been flawless so far and a good beside the bed gun with the light i have and also a Lakeline barrel
I have a 709, I’ve put 1000 rounds through it and NEVER HAD ONE misfire. You have a gun problem.
yes i have this one and a Millennium Pro. 45 same way, both are useless to me as i dont trust and they get on my nerves. i have a G3 and its built much better quality and haven't had a failure yet, but i still EDC any of my Glocks as ive never had a problem out of any of them with any ammo and can rely on them if ever needed ,thanks for watching Vassmotorsports and hope ya check out some of my other videos
And the barrel
thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching Vassmotorsports and hope ya check out some of my other videos sometime, hate how i cant find any parts like i wanted to try new spring and rod but none available
I have noticed in the last 8 years there has been a decline in Taurus production and quality i bought a brand new g2 pt111 and been having a lot of problems with light primer strikes ,i have sent it back to the co pany twice and they say nothing is wrong with it ,my father bought a pt 24/7 and it discharged a round by itself while lying on a dresser so im real unhappy with Taurus products anymore
Oh wow I'm sorry to hear that. Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching Vassmotorsports, im not happy with them either and I can't find any replacement parts ,so I believe I'm selling these 2. I do have the G3 also and will be doing a review video on it soon. I have not had any failures with it yet and seems like a better built gun than these older models, although hearing that about your G2 makes me wonder. But im not at all impressed with the slim 9mm and Millennium Pro. 45. Very poor quality builds ,and I understand ya get what ya pay for but I have a Sccy 9mm gen 2 and not one failure or complaint from it except if you want to run a few mags the trigger is a heavy pull after a while
You don’t know what you’re talking about Taurus has been putting out GREAT firearms and are doing great. The Gx4 won micro pistol of the year. 🤦🏿♂️
@TruthGotGunz sure I don't know what I'm talking about, then why is my guns jamming failure to feed every couple bullets ? I finally figured out that the .45 only likes hollow point, I guess cause the shorter nose, it doesn't get stuck trying to load into chamber , the slim 9 also did light primmer strike last week and I tried pulling trigger a few times for restrike but wouldn't fire the bullet so I ejected it thinking the bullet was bad , when I emptied the mag I put that bullet back in and it fired then ,so yes some of them are junk , like I said the G3 feels alot better build and no issues with it yet
@@Vassmotorsports you’re blaming every gun Taurus made based off your gun? 🤦🏿♂️ I thought a Glock brand new I had to send back a week later I didn’t blame Glock as a whole for being trash, I just got a bad seed 🤦🏿♂️ yall kill me with this bs
@TruthGotGunz I already said my G3 is fine , but these 2 older guns that they discontinued anyway have been nothing but trouble, and I see other people and hear of plenty other people also having issues with Taurus, I haven't had one issue with any of my Glocks or Beretta, even my cheap SCCY, but these 2 Taurus I can't depend on are junk to me , so as a whole I m not big on Taurus company, that being said I'm not getting rid of my G3 and actually love it. I hate I can't find any parts for the older Taurus models tho
My Glocks won't even run Magtech.
Wow that's wild. My glocks run smooth on even cheap stuff so far anything I've ran thro have been flawless, .380. 9mm. And 10mm. I did find enough Winchester 9mm to run 2 mags thru this slim 9mm and it did good with those. I'll have to try a box sometime, thanks for watching Vassmotorsports and hope ya check out some of my other videos
@Vassmotorsports Back when ammunition was so tight I ran across a bunch of it in different Cals so I bought it up a bunch for range ammo.
Really dirty, smokey, dusty with almost a graphite residue.
Almost like it had a filler or a huge amount of unburned powder.
Now the revolver stuff works fine. Other than dirty.
The 42, 43, and 17 just don't like it, the 21 tolerated it
Hang up, short cycling failure to eject.
I burned the last of it up last week in essentially a single shot 42.
Now the brass itself seems pretty decent though. So I might be able to get some good reloads out of it.
Ironically, I've shot Wolf and all the other cheap brands for years and haven't had an issue.
Never a problem with magtek. Four taurus pistols , a smith, and a ruger.
@@alvinsturgeon5291 i have two older taurus the slim 9mm and Millennium Pro. 45 and cant find any ammo that will run good in them ,but all my other guns run anything flawless
Polish
i tried trust me. with nice little attachments on my Dremel and mothers polish. no difference
You should try standing on your own two feet instead of taking advice off the internet..😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣ok. i know no one can diagnose thru a video lol
My opinion: Just save your money a little longer and get a glock 26 or better yet, a sig p365. Then you can actually count on your EDC.
haha thanks, I already have a 26 and few other Glocks that are my EDC's. they're definitely something i feel I can depend on and never had any issues out of them. These taurus are junk as far as im concerned
One thing I'm sure of you staged the whole thing..
Have both in 740 slim and 709 slim also have a pt111 G2 9mm, excellent pistol and have various calibers and pistols in Taurus and and other brands, magtec worked in my other caliber options but my 380s and my small 709 does not work reliable,, some new guns require a break in period using FMJ round, could be the magazine lip slightly bent
Not had any problems with mine
But most of mine are used and most look like that they were unfired or very little my biggest gun i ever fired was a 8"
203 mm self propelled artillery gun 🤠👍direct and indirect fire, and direct fire is AWESOME✨💥✨💥 😎💯
Try different FMJ and JHP some work and some don't have several 1911a1 in 45 acp and some Taurus pistols in 45 acp
Some like Hydra shok and Starfire and some don't, and some of my pistols are the same brand, but you have to find what is best, have,3 pt738 in 380 acp , one
My new one fires any brand of 380, but one of my other ones don't like Starfire,magtech, or gold Dot, but fmj, and Corbon works?, just find the right brand that works 110,% some of mine still needs more rounds, I have some that I need to shoot around 120 rounds to get the recommended 300 or more manufacturers break-in count
Thanks for watching Vassmotorsports, ive tried few different brands threw it and FMJ and hollow point, but it seems to jam on any , I only have the one mag so I'm gonna try another one and see if that helps , tried polishing feed ramp and didn't help, it's used and fired before I got it , same with my Millennium Pro. 45 except I figured out it does like hollow points, but I don't feel I can trust either of these. I have a G3 and it's been flawless and seems like a much better build. I have few different caliber Glocks and love them and never an issue yet ,also my Beretta 92FS is probably my favorite and a reputation that backs it up
Without seeing the magazine , but I think it might be something that is slightly off, maybe the spring or follower or feed lip on the magazine, mine only came with a 7 round, and i bought 2 /8 round magazines off E-bay they also have 10 round magazines but have not tried them, but the 8 round ones work
My 740 slim came with two 6 round magazines, but I have thought about getting another one for it, but my slims are a second back up and pocket carry
My EDC is a Glock 33 gen3 with night sights and a Lazer Max guide rod Lazer and 125 grain sig elite v-crown
And a Taurus 3,"ported stainless 327 magnum and 100 grain gold dot JHP and a one of my Taurus pt738 with 102 grain golden saber and corbon 90 grain+p ,and extra speed loaders and spare magazines , loads of 1 ball and 1 JHP in 380, JHP in 357 sig and 327 magnum Carry but 2 speed loaders with 3 100 grain fmj and 3 gold dot 100 grain or 115 grain JHP
Maybe your 709 slim load a JHP and a FMJ 🤔
@13BravoBiggunsM110SP I seen the 8 and 10 round mags on ebay and want to try 8 rd and see if it helps. I was actually gonna order while ago and got busy but now you got me placing my order as soon as I finish this message haha. Hopefully that's the problem,
@@Vassmotorsports
I kinda want to get 2 of the 10 rounds and spare 7 round magazines, but I'm still kicking it around , but I did get 2/ 15 round magazines for the pt 111G2 that actually holds 16 rounds,
Came with 2/12 round magazines , they also have a 32 round magazines also, might have to get a few, especially since we have this invasion of our country 🇺🇸,🤔 it's not going to pleasant and it's not going to get better either 🤨
,
@13BravoBiggunsM110SP I agree with that. I just ordered an 8 rd and want to see if it fixes my issue. I don't want to spend any for more mags till I know cause if it doesn't work I'll be selling it anyways , I'm looking for a nice 1911 cause I missed a hell of a deal on a Kimber custom ii few weeks ago and still kicking myself cause was such a sweet deal , the dang pawn shop gave him the cash that evening before I could go meet him and now I want one ,doesn't have to be Kimber but wish I could have scored that one
