I basically made up my mind about buying a LC9.
But yesterday in my LGS I held a Taurus PT709 Slim. Now I have only read good things about it after I came back at home. It is just as small as the LC9. Carries the same rounds, but its got features the LC9 don't have. Like for instance it has a SA/DA trigger.
That means in my hands it will be more accurate than the LC9. That is a big plus for me. I do want accuracy, especially in a small compact pistol. It's got fully adjustable sights. That is also a big plus.
But here comes the problem. In my country, South Africa, there is no love for a Taurus. Our local Gun Forum is sometimes called the ''Taurus Bashing Forum'', so bad is it.
But on this site, and elsewhere, I only read good things about it. Everyone who shot with it and the LC9 prefers the Taurus, and everyone gets better groups with it than with the LC9. It is a more accurate gun. But is that enough? That will be mostly because the trigger is so much better.
What is your opinion about the Taurus PT709 slim and how dependable is it as a EDC? Do they give problems like FTF, FTE? I am not looking to save money, as it is much cheaper here than the LC9. I just want the best between the two.
