Re: Comments on Ruger SR9c and Taurus 709 slim

I own the Ruger SR9 and love, love, LOVE it, but I haven't ever shot the compact version. I purchased the 709Slim a few weeks ago and I don't like it. As mentioned, the trigger pull is looooooong. I can shoot an entire magazine straight in the center of a target with my Ruger (and other guns!), but shoot low and left every single time with the Taurus. I know...operator error. Gonna take some practice and some patience, but I must admit to being a little disappointed. My husband can shoot it fine, straight to the X, so I know its just me. The guys at Spring Guns & Ammo where I purchased it had some good advice for me, so I haven't given up all hope. Just not as much fun to shoot as I had hoped. And I sure don't feel like I can carry it every day and use it effectively if called to do so, which is why I purchased it. It is very slim, light, easy to carry, and I wanted a 9mm instead of my .380 LCP, so it gets high marks in every area except for that stinkin' trigger!
