The Taurus PT840 Compact is a semi-automatic handgun designed for concealed carry and personal defense. It is chambered in .40 S&W and has a capacity of 11+1 rounds. The pistol features a black oxide finish, a polymer frame, and a stainless steel slide. It measures 6.9 inches in length and 5.25 inches in height, making it easy to conceal and carry.

The PT840 Compact has a double-action/single-action trigger system with a safety/decocker lever on the left side of the frame. The trigger pull weight is approximately 10 pounds in double action and 4.5 pounds in single action. The pistol also has an adjustable rear sight and a fixed front sight, which provide excellent accuracy and quick target acquisition.

The grip of the PT840 Compact is comfortable and ergonomic, with a textured surface that provides a positive grip in all conditions. The magazine release button is located on the left side of the frame, making it easy to operate for both right- and left-handed shooters. The gun also comes with two 11-round magazines, providing ample ammunition for most situations.

The PT840 Compact is designed for reliable performance, with a rugged construction that can withstand harsh environments and heavy use. It has undergone extensive testing to ensure its durability, and it is backed by Taurus's lifetime warranty. The pistol is also easy to disassemble and clean, with a simple takedown process that requires no special tools or skills.

I've been looking for a midsize 40 with a 3.5" or so barrel. Looking for a new carry gun, i've been looking at Bersa, Stoeger, and guns in the 400. to 500. price range. I own a few Taurus revolvers, a lever action but this is my first Taurus semi auto. Ha
