That's pretty sweet - I like that.

Door to door? How exactly does that work?

Re: Comments on Ruger SR9c and Taurus 709 slim

I love my SR9c.

The only issues I have had have been a couple of stovepipes when firing left (week) handed. I have pretty big hands, but I find the grip on a Glock, M&P, xD, etc to be a bit big for me. It fits my hand really well - it is one of the thinnest double stack grips. It also seems, to me, to have a grip angle comparable to a 1911. I really like the grip.

I didn't like the magazine safety. But that is ok, I took it out. It has proven very accurate. It has a really good trigger and a nice reset, IMO.

That said, I do not think my wife could shoot it. She is small anyway and she had her right hand crushed and rebuilt when she was a teenager. As HP pointed out, the slide spring is very stout. We have tried and she cannot reliably rack the slide. The only times she was able to do, it was too uncomfortable for her. Also, give the couple of stovepipes I have seen shooting with my left, I would be concerned about her limp wristing it. My 13 year old daughter can shoot it very well, however.
