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?
Lots of complaints about quality control issues with this gun. It feels great in the hand, though, and the one I shot worked fine. But it seems to be a crapshoot as to whether you'll get one that causes a lot of headaches or not.

Have you looked at the Walther PPS? It's an outstanding little pistol. Very well-made, accurate, and reliable. Sell the Sig, if necessary. The Walther is worth every penny and then some over the Taurus. (It's also backed by S&W's unmatched customer service.)
