Leave it to Taurus to make the most heralded concealed carry semi-autos in company history even better.

Elegant with slides in blue and stainless, these dynamic semi-autos give nothing away under the lightest T-shirt or polos with its remarkably lean, lightweight design – but still steps up with big firepower, remarkable features and top-end performance.

The SLIM line features a short, crisp single action/double action trigger pull and low-profile fixed sights for easy and comfortable concealment carry.

Additional features include finger indexing Taurus Memory Pad™ along the frame for an automatic finger locator, off hand thumb rest for safe firearm handling and unique takedown levers offer fast field stripping.

The SLIM weighs just 19 ounces, measures a mere 6.24 inches long and is less than an inch thick. Standard features for the SLIM include a visual loaded chamber indicator, new trigger safety, manual safety and the unique Taurus Security System® that allows users to securely lock the gun using an inconspicuous key-lock.
