@Clayton758 thanks for the review, 1 question though did yours not come with the interchangeable back straps/grips? If it was in the video I'm sorry for asking I might have just looked up or away at that spot, anyway great vid keep em coming :)
I havn't tried the FNX-9 I just bought A NEW Taurus PT-740 In 40S/W that is my Primary carry gun for the spring and summer.The Taurus 840 is a great gun. I shot it right out of the box with the factory grease still in it I never clean my guns after i buy them it out of the box and straight to the range this way I will know if it will be something that I can depend on,with my life. If it fails then I will get rid of it... Thank you
@Jade75150 Jade I've put over 1500 rounds through my 840 at 7 and 10 yards it's dead on. now at 25+ mine shots about 4in low. since i've put so many rounds through it i've gotten very comfortable with it and have adapted to it. My best advice is shot often, practice safety, and learn your gun. 1 more thing is that I've never had a jam, misfire, or failure to eject. I love and carry mine.
@Sigfofosauer Thank you for the comment. To be honest with you I never thought about taking the gun apart this was my 1st video so I will besure to do that on the next video. As far as the trigger pull in SA (25-35) and DA (45-65) as per the owners manuel pg 13.IF YOU LIKE I CAN SEND YOU SOME PICTURES OF THE RAILS. the rails are a 2 piece rail sys one rail just rear of the safty and just forward of the hammer and 2nd rail is located just above the mem pad just fwd of the diss latch.
I was wondering how the trigger pull is on this? There is complaints with the 24/7 having to long of a trigger pull. Do you feel this is the same with the PT 840? Thanks.

@SophieBear81 Hello To me it has a short Trigger pull do to the slack that is in it if you take up the slack it becomes a short trigger pull so that you may stage the trigger befor it pops off a shell. I hope that it was a help to you. Thank you
@drjoe2323 I havn't shot any cheep ammo I only shoot the Winchester(WHITE BOX) and Remmington and have shot megtec ammo 200+ RNDS flawlessly.Love the gun.I carry A 709 love it But It will be moved to 2nd String when I replace the 709 with the 740. so do you like you're Taurus? and what do you have? I have Three Taurus's The 709 the Pt-99 AF and the 840 and I'm thinking of getting the 738 (Which I think is the 380 Version.
As of today 01/10/11I have not made it to the range,but i will have a video on that I hope this summer (the reason is that the Gov is making it hard on ppl to shoot in the Mountains.) Thank you
@mcook328 I used in this Order 600 to 800 fine wet dry and a rose/red in color crocus cloth for finishing. I did it all by hand it took me at least 2-1/2 to 3 hrs to do mine so plan on taking at least that long I tried a dremal and it left scratches so I had to refinish to try to remove the. ALL THE SAND PAPER SHOULD BE FINE TO ULTRA FINE..And take you're time in doing it and don't rush it and it should come out the way you like it. Any questions please ask
I carry mine in my front pocket the outline is minamal and its confrontable I have some sugestions so please leave me a mess.Taurus dosn't have a whole lot of Holster options for this gun so I will have to take mine to A.E.Nelson In Scio Oregon to have a holster and Mag carrier custome made for this gun and my 840
nice vid, I picked up my 840 a couple of weeks ago in the Stainless steel like yours for $350. Great gun, amazing accuracy. Cant beat them for the price. My next purchase will be the 740 similar to your 709. what position do you carry your 709, and how comfortable does it feel carrying it?
What did you use to polish the chamber?

I can't stand it when people don't rack the slide when clearing the weapon, I know you know its unloaded, but you should still always double check.
