I own both because the 709 is virtually a downsized PT111 G2 and is now my EDC while the PT111 is my go-to HD when I'm not near my long guns. My 709 has no rough edges whatsoever. The 709 is thinner at the slide than the G2.
I have a Taurus G2 I bought when they first came out I have at least 1000 rounds everything is original not at first failure in the gun I bought it because it was cheap to leave in my car while on vacation good video keep up the good work
Enjoyed your post. I own a Taurus G2 that I've had for a little more than 2 years with all original parts and virtually no failures except one box of Aluminum cased ammo that had feed and ejection problems. I love the feel of the G2. You're timing is good however in that some folks are selling the 709 at unbelievable prices and I'm considering one for times I might need a thinner profile single-stack gun. You confirmed what I suspected regarding shared parts. Thanks again.
Taurus quality has improved dramatically. I have the 740 Slim and the TX 22. Excellent guns. The pricing allows for more ammo. Ain't gonna knock Glock, but I'll stick with my amazingly reliable Taurus. Great customer service
I love my 709 put a hogue rubber grip and a peirce pinky extension found 10 rnd magazines for $20 best gun you coukd expect to spend less than $300 for either one are good guns since taurus has stepped up its quality over the years
Mr Jackson, Just purchased a 709 for edc and a 10 round clip all for less than $300 bucks!! Ran about 70-80 rounds through it today’s day had no issues. I did notice the difference in kick with different grain ammo so I’m gonna go with 115 grain right now. I actually like it! Fits good in my hands and sights are good as well.
I noticed the same thing with the interchangeable barrels on my G2 and Slim, though i did not shoot them switched. I ended up keeping my Slim with a 5.5 lb trigger and selling the G2 with an 8.5 lb trigger. I even bought another Slim on Gunbroker for $159. plus $10. shipping. I think its an awesome concealed carry weapon.
Just recently bought both of these myself too, the 709 is still in shipment. Guess I can alternate my G2 for CC when I get tired of carrying the 709. Great comparison video, thanks!
@@nogoodlauricia6270 I have no problems with printing of my G2c. I'm 6' 170 lbs and usually carry aiwb. Of course it depends on holster choice and attire, but it does conceal easily for me. Have fun and be safe.
Excellent pistols, have both, 111g2 and the 709 slim and a 740slim came with two 6 round magazines, it's mostly for a back up purpose, normal carry is a Glock 33 gen3 , and one of my Taurus pistols, and Xtra magazines, the 709 slim only had one 7 shot magazine ,but I bought 2 8 shot pro mags , they work, haven't had any problems with them they also have a 10 shot magazine, have not tried, eventually I will try one
Own both and a 740 slim, and a 327 magnum in stainless steel 3" ported and a 4" stainless 357 magnum, not ever had a problem with them, and I have carried various calibers and pistols in the military and law enforcement, wish they had them in the 80s 💥✨✨🤔 Carry some of these for back up, but ny main Carry is a Glock 33 gen3 357 sig and some of these for back up options
0:53 "Same sights both these firearms" same style yes but failed to mention originally 3 white dot from Taurus. Apparently altered to green front red rear dots, not that there's anything wrong with that. Nice revue thanks
Thanks for the video. I appreciate you showing how to break down the gun, the user manual was garbage about getting the slide off. I always say a video is better any day of the week. Broke my new one down and cleaned it to get the excess oil off it. Surprised my hubby that I did it on my own. I now know I can truly take care of myself if I ever had to. Do you know a good place to get extra magazines other than Taurus?
(2024) I haven't tested with live fire but, ( 2009?) 709 slim ss barrel fits into modern production g3c 9mm (late 2023) and vice versa. the g3c barrel has slight differences but both appear to function as designed and even cycle snap caps. No surprise really since the g3c is a slightly enhanced g2c. it works so taurus will likely use the same barrel for probably a millennium ; )
I watch the outdoor channel on Wednesday night's (it's gun night) Shooting USA took a tour or the Taurus factory a few episodes ago.... these interchamgble parts was something they were REALLY bragging on....for whatever reason. No problem on the feedback brother. Like you said, you know my ass is the real McCoy! I appreciate the shout out....with out a shout out lol! Ball busting brother YOU DA MAN!!
J. Dalton I prolly wouldn't be about it, If I wasn't cool with person who would be naming my name...but it's all good with you brother! A few cats have already found me via you....I appreciate ya!
My 740 is a little beast, but my 709 is excellent,, but they are great back up pistols, and I have larger caliber pistols and options, but they are great for back up and secondary pistols 💯💥💥💥
Grim Aka Statik put a pinky extender on the 709 magazine. Makes a world of difference. I have both also, and that extension makes them very comparable.

I dont think the thickness in the 709 slim was the problem. This pistol is trash. The g2c g3 is totally different. Even recoil quality is better on newer handguns.

Good Morning Mr Dalton Thank you for the great video. I was looking at the Taurus 709 slim .I bought the pt111 g2 8 mos ago and really like the gun.
Also the double strike feature on both of these pistols is sweet and the double strike single strike feature excellent for zombie shots
Nice comparison. I sold PT111 G2 and 709 Slim 9mm's. I personally liked the tapered look on the 709.
Solid size comparison and visual details review of these two.

So if i was to get a threaded barrel for the g2 it would fit the 709?
@@inhumanfilth681 thats a question for Taurus International
@@inhumanfilth681my question exactly, you ever find out?
Interesting I have both of those pistols and never thought about how similar they are, good video.
thanks for the video, I've been waiting for you to do a side by side comparison! Great job man!
Love your videos J!!! Just bought a PT111 and love it, works flawlessly!!
Great video I own both I've these as well both are great guns I carry the 709 in the summer and the g2 in the winter

Thanks for the video, learned a bit.
Benny Morgan vg
That was cool how you can take the 709 and put onto the G2 frame I really like to see you try to shoot just curious to see what happen nice video
I’ve had both and the 709 was a little finicky with ammo and the G2c is better at eating obscure ammo .
I have the g2 and was considering the slim, but it doesn't seem like it's that much slimmer....
It kinda is tho. Definitely a different feel in the hand.
I bought both because some states can’t have 12 rounds.
But that's a cool ass video BTW thanks as always!
I have both, im selling my slim. I prefer G2. Slim isnt comfortable to shoot. Ill get a 9shield
Grim Aka Statik put a pinky extender on the 709 magazine. Makes a world of difference. I have both also, and that extension makes them very comparable.
Good video. Thanks
at least a thousand rounds I shot well over 300 the first day I bought it 3 days before vacation
I forgot to say my locking block does not move
Texas Ranger OEM? Lakeline?
Mine doesn't either when it has a loaded mag.
You have Lakeline and Hi-point fanboys after you LOL!
Great video! Very interesting! What did you use to re-blue you slides?

Hey great video.
Need a higher round clip for the 709 slim
They have em. Pro mag makes some. I have the 709 and G3c.
U still own the g2? An thats the one you put the lakeline recoil spring in?
How's the recoil different?
When the 709 slide was on the g2 frame there was a gap.
The barrels are the same
Are those glow in the dark or night sights? Did they come with white dots ?
my 709 came with white
The G2 comes with white dots
Has anybody tried switching barrels and firing?
I dont think the thickness in the 709 slim was the problem. This pistol is trash. The g2c g3 is totally different. Even recoil quality is better on newer handguns.
Explain how its trash please
Made his shit look like a Glock
What is the exact weight of both??
Are the mags interchangeable
Do the G2 mags fit in the 709?
No. G2 is double stack. 709 is single stack. Physically will not fit in the mag well
Will a G2C guide rod fit in a PT 709?
Dana Feagin can that double mag fit in 709??
@@Lohitta26the double mag will not fit.
Caroline French is stealing all your videos.
You got link's?
I just typed in hi-point and searched for most recent and saw it, I'm sure you can type in her name that's her account.
I found it. Thanks i reported it to RUclips. If you can do same that would be great.

So nobody thought to throw the g2 30rd magazine in the pt 709 ?
I have a slim 9 and it jams all the time not a good gun clean all the time I shoot same thing jams
