Detailed Review
The Taurus PT840 is a semi-automatic pistol designed and manufactured by Taurus International. It is a full-sized handgun, chambered in .40 S&W, with an overall length of 7.25 inches and a weight of 28 ounces.
The PT840 features a polymer frame and a stainless steel slide, making it both durable and lightweight. It also has ambidextrous controls, including the magazine release and safety, making it easy to operate for both right- and left-handed shooters.
The pistol has a 15-round magazine capacity and comes with two magazines. It also has an accessory rail that allows you to attach a light or laser for improved accuracy and visibility in low-light situations.
The PT840 has a double-action/single-action trigger system, which means the first shot can be fired with a long, heavy trigger pull (double-action), while subsequent shots can be fired with a shorter, lighter trigger pull (single-action).
The pistol’s sights are fixed and dovetailed into the slide, allowing for easy replacement if desired. The front sight is a white dot, while the rear sight is a two-dot sight, making it easy to acquire and track targets.
The PT840 has a reputation for being reliable and accurate, making it a popular choice for both law enforcement and civilian use. Its lightweight construction, combined with its relatively low recoil, make it a comfortable and manageable firearm to shoot.
If you’re in the market for a full-size, .40 S&W semi-automatic pistol, the Taurus PT840 is definitely worth considering. Its combination of reliability, accuracy, and ease-of-use make it a great choice for a range of shooting applications.

Great pistol for the price. I have spent a lot more on pistols that don't function any better. The accuracy and hitting power of the 40 cal is close enough to a ,45 ACP to go with the 15 rd mag capacity that tipped the scale to this choice. Once again, Bu

The finish is a little sharp. Like on the beaver tail, where theres a channel for the hammer when it's cocked, has sharp edges that may be too uncomfortable when it's pressed on your skin. Serrations on the slide are a little rough as well. But the gun sh
