My wife is currently carrying the Sig Sauer P239 - a great small frame gun that seems to shoot anything we feed it.
However, as it has a lot of steel, it is heavier than most comparably-sized guns, and she is noticing that her arms are tired after about 20 minutes of range time. It is also a bit bulky - easy for her to open carry, not so easy for her to conceal carry.
She has looked at several models and really loves the feel of Taurus' new Slim 709. Slide is easy to rack and the gun is very light. (I know, I know...from Sig to Taurus...)
However, she can't seem to find this new model at any local range to shoot. Does anyone own this gun? If so, could you share your thoughts about it?
Taurus' product page is down this morning, but here is a link from Tactical-Life.com:
