not sure if they are still made under the taurus name but rossi does. rossi is now owned and made by taurus.I like their rifles in 22. But they stopped making them I think.
I just picked up a Taurus PT-1911DT yesterday. Put a hundred rounds of FMJ through it today - smooth as silk! Think I'll keep it!!
I also have a Taurus PT-709. Several hundred rounds of all types of FMJ and JHP through it - now my carry gun.
My brothers have multiple Taurus pistols as well - none of us have had any significant issues with any of them. Decent guns at a decent price.
I have a 24/7 LS in stainless and an 85ULB, both function flawlessly. I didn't include pics because you all know what they look like already.
CandRfan is right, the point of posting pics is not to establish what the gun looks like; we are guys and we like looking at guns even if we know what they are going to basically look like. Same applies to attractive women.

I use an XD9mm SC and my wife uses aTaurus 24/7 pro compact DS 9mm.They are both great compacts. I have a few range trips on her, but I fear she and the Tarus are catching me. What'll I do?? Help! Mr. Wizzard!!
Does anyone know where I can order spare mags for my 709 Slim? I was very jealous at the range yesterday when everybody else could just throw in a new mag and keep shooting while I kept loading my one mag repeatedly. Not to mention that it'd be nice to be able to carry a spare mag with me instead of just hoping that 8 shots will be enough. Thanks!
Good luck - and thanks for the help!Did you buy the 709 new? If so there was supposed to be 2 mags included, at one time some dealers was taking the spare mag out and making a extra profit off of it.
I'm embarrassed to admit that I just went back and checked the case and somehow had not managed to remember that there was a 2nd mag in there. Now I feel silly. Apparently I was so excited about carrying it that I took it out of the case and never looked back!
Now if it's not new, you might want to wait until the 1500 in Feb. and see of any of the large mag vendors have one in stock. Otherwise the only recourse is to buy direct from Taurus since it is still a fairly new, I found that they lag behind almost 8-9 months before after market mags are available for the new Taurus products.
I might have to check that out. I've never been, but it could be good to check it out and buy yet more mags!
I'm still trying to pick up at least 3 or 4 for my Taurus 809.
