Taurus PT900 Series

May 13th, 2007 · No Comments

Taurus PT908A quick overview of the PT900 series. The PT908, PT940, and PT945 are all single stack, 9 rd., stainless or blued compact guns. They have takedown features identical to the prior series of PT-99’s, and they differ in the slide design. The locking system is more like a Sig-Sauer’s, and the slide is enclosed.

A very attractive feature is the safety system. They incorporate a traditional frame-mounted safety with a decocker, all on the same lever. Pressing down brings the gun off-safe, and pressing down firmly a bit further decocks the gun. Thus, the guns may be carried cocked-and-locked, hammer down and safety off, or hammer down and safety on.

Accuracy is excellent. My PT945 and 908 both have excellent single and double action trigger pulls, which contributes to accurate shooting. Reliability is also good. The only downside to this series of pistols is the lack of aftermarket accessories, especially grips, for them. However, out of the box they are quite attractive, with Novak-style rounded sights, a very nice finish in stainless steel, and a logical layout of controls.
