Taurus SLIM Pistols Available in New Calibers
MIAMI, FL –-(AmmoLand.com)- Due to overwhelming customer demand Taurus introduces its popular SLIM pistol in two new calibers. The 708 SLIM .380 ACP offers 7+1 rounds and the 740 SLIM .40 S&W offers 6+1 rounds.
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.

Every year I keep hoping for someone to come out with a pistol that will take the same amo as my 38 spc revolvers. I know there are a lot of engineering problems that have to be solved, but it would be great to be able to just keep one cal. of amo on hand and have it function in pistols and revolvers. I know your Co. can do it and I would be one of the first to purchase such a great new model pistol. It would be another very big feather in the TAURUS cap.
Smith & Wesson made a pistol that fired flush saeated 38 Special rounds. Don’t know if it is still in their line
