Taurus PT740 Magazine - 40WSW

Taurus PT740 Magazine

This is a genuine factory Taurus magazine for the PT740 Slim, the compact single-stack pistol chambered in .40 S&W. It holds six rounds and is the same part Taurus ships with the gun, so it fits and feeds the way the pistol was designed to. Owners who carry the PT740 usually want at least one spare, either as a reload on the belt or as a backup for range days.

Features

• Factory OEM Taurus Part — Made by Taurus as the original equipment magazine, model number 5-10740, rather than an aftermarket copy.
• .40 S&W Chambering — Built for the .40 Smith & Wesson cartridge only, so it will not work with 9mm or .45 ACP ammunition.
• 6-Round Capacity — Holds six rounds, matching the flush-fit capacity of the PT740 Slim.
• Blued Steel Body — The tube is steel with a blued finish, a chemical treatment that gives the dark, nearly black surface and adds some corrosion resistance.
• Numbered Witness Holes — Small holes down the back, marked 2 through 6, let you see how many rounds are loaded without emptying the magazine.
• Orange Polymer Follower — The follower, the part the spring pushes up under the cartridges, is bright orange so an empty magazine is easy to spot.
• Polymer Base Plate — A black polymer floor plate closes the bottom of the tube and gives your palm a flat surface for seating the magazine.
• Lightweight Build — Weighs about 0.50 lb, light enough to carry a spare in a pocket or belt pouch.

Fit And Break-In

This magazine is made only for the Taurus PT740 Slim and is not intended for other Taurus models. A cutout on the side of the tube engages the pistol's magazine catch. New springs can be stiff, so loading the final round may take some effort until the magazine has been loaded and left full a few times to break it in.
