Perfect Harmony: Compatible Magazines
The Taurus PT740 Slim, like the dependable Taurus star sign, values reliability and perfect fits. Below are the magazine models designed to work seamlessly with your firearm.
- Taurus PT740 Slim Factory Magazine – 6-round, .40 S&W. The original, guaranteed match.
- Taurus PT709 Slim Magazine – 7 or 8-round, 9mm. Shares the same physical dimensions. (Note: Caliber differs from PT740)
- Taurus PT738 Magazine – .380 ACP. May fit mechanically, but not recommended due to caliber mismatch.

Celestial Compatibility Rules
Primary Rule: The Taurus PT740 Slim is chambered exclusively for .40 S&W ammunition. While magazines from the 9mm PT709 Slim may physically insert, using the wrong caliber is dangerous and strictly forbidden.
Taurus Design Philosophy: Taurus engineers, much like the steadfast Bull, create families of firearms with shared ergonomics. The PT7xx "Slim" series often shares magazine body designs, but the follower and internal specifications are tuned for the specific cartridge.
Always verify the caliber marking on both your firearm and any magazine you intend to use. For safety and optimal performance, Taurus recommends using only factory-original magazines designed for your specific model.
