Gun Descriptions

Taurus pistols have had a long and distinguished history, known for making pistols that can be counted on for their reliability, durability and accuracy. The Taurus PT-709 Slim Semi Auto Pistol is an excellent example of Taurus’ history. Feature crisp trigger pull, adjustable rear sight, loaded chamber indicator, finger indexing Taurus memory pad, strike two trigger system and Taurus security system. Single/double action.

The Ruger® LC9s® Semi-Auto Pistol is a simple and instinctive pistol which utilizes a striker-fired mechanism with a short, light trigger pull. An integrated trigger safety and a manual thumb safety offer intuitive manipulation for safe handling, while a magazine disconnect and a loaded chamber indicator offer additional safety features, nearly eliminating the risk of an accidental discharge. The pistol's frame is constructed with glass-filled nylon with an aluminum insert, and the grip is checkered for a solid, non-slip hold and improved control. The slide is made from hardened alloy steel and boasts a slim, sleek profile for deep concealment. HiViz® fiber-optic sights deliver rapid, intuitive target acquisition in virtually any lighting. The lightweight, compact design of the Ruger LC9s and its superior reliability make it an ideal semi-auto pistol for concealed-carry. The Ruger LC9s uses all existing LC9® accessories including lasers, holsters, and extended 9-round magazines. Made in USA.
