TruGlo TFX Pro for Taurus Millennium G2, 709/740 Slim (Except G2c) Fiber Optic Handgun Sight Review

First Thoughts on the TruGlo TFX Pro for Taurus Millennium G2, 709/740 Slim (Except G2c) Fiber Optic Handgun Sight

For years, I’ve trusted the Taurus line for concealed carry. But the factory sights, while functional, always felt like a compromise. Enter the TruGlo TFX Pro for Taurus Millennium G2, 709/740 Slim (Except G2c) Fiber Optic Handgun Sight: a name that promises a significant upgrade in visibility and target acquisition.

My aging eyes needed a boost in low-light conditions, and the promise of fiber optics combined with tritium piqued my interest. I’ve used TruGlo products before on rifles and shotguns with great success, hoping for similar results on my Taurus. The combination of fiber optic brightness in daylight and tritium’s constant glow at night was a compelling reason to give these sights a try.

Unboxing the TruGlo TFX Pro, the first thing I noticed was the solid feel of the CNC-machined steel. The black nitride finish looks incredibly durable, and the overall design feels far more robust than the polymer sights that came standard on my Taurus 709 Slim. Compared to other aftermarket sights I’ve tested, these struck a balance between ruggedness and sleekness. I was excited to get them installed and hit the range.

Real-World Testing: Putting TruGlo TFX Pro for Taurus Millennium G2, 709/740 Slim (Except G2c) Fiber Optic Handgun Sight to the Test

First Use Experience

My initial testing took place at my local indoor range, followed by some outdoor drills. The indoor range provided a controlled environment to assess the low-light performance. The bright fiber optic front sight immediately proved to be a major upgrade over the factory sights.

Acquiring the target was noticeably faster, even under the somewhat dim range lighting. Outside, the sights truly shone, the fiber optics practically vibrating with collected sunlight. The U-notch rear sight aided in quick alignment, a welcome change from the standard notch.

Extended Use & Reliability

After several months of consistent use, the TruGlo TFX Pro sights have proven to be incredibly durable. I carried my 709 Slim with these sights daily, exposing them to sweat, dirt, and the occasional bump. The black nitride finish shows no signs of wear, and the fiber optic elements remain bright and clear.

Cleaning is simple; a quick wipe with a lightly oiled cloth keeps them in excellent condition. I have to say, these sights are exceeding my expectations. They have become an integral part of my EDC.
