Im a happy Taurus owner of 2 guns,but have passed on the 709 repeatedly.
My reasons were there were many other good guns in that size that where priced closely.
Keltec PF9 wich is cheaper and smaller.
Kahr CW9 about same size and money but a better respected gun with better resale value.
Kahr PM9 a whole other league of gun.
Walther PPS9 same league as the PM9
I went with the Walther and love it.
Besides the fact the 709 is a SA w/DA 2nd strike and manual safety there is nothing special about it.
