I picked one of these up a few months ago and I really like. Do you have one? If so tell me some of your pros and cons about it.
Size wise would this be a good option for a small framed woman? Been looking around for something for the wife and this seems like a viable option, seems not to small but not to big.

How is carrying it? I'm looking for a EDC that would be comfortable to carry IWB.
It would be a good EDC for a small person, male or female. I bought mine used. Taurus fixed up under warranty at no cost to me. Fires first time, every time with clean ammo.[B/] I did run some very dirty ammo through it, probably reloads, and these jammed up the 709. It also jammed up my son's G19. I now have about 700 rounds through it. Not sure how many the original owner put through it.
The 709 is my regular summer EDC. I use a High Noon Split Decision
The 709 Slim is an excellent choice for EDC. Reliable. Accurate. Comfortable to carry IWB.
Bought mine in January. It's the first gun I've owned, and I'm in loooooove.
But that could just be because I'm still on a high.
When I first got it, BlueEagle documented the first time I took it out here. That's a really old thread, but it's worth the read.
I've carried it around the house IWB and it seems just fine. However, I've not carried it out yet as I don't have (just got the notifier though!) my CCDW yet. Next week ... cannot get here fast enough.
I only had one issue, well I guess two, but it relates and is written in the above range report. Pay good attention to that part, it FTE'd on me quite a few times with the WWB. Roughly 3:5 times. However, most people say it will smooth out after a few hundred rounds, I haven't tried it again. It likes the Remingtons, so I just use those.
It's a beautiful little pistol. And I really think I'm in love.
I have one and got the Crimson Trace laser on it. I really like that. I don't have lots of rounds through, because my EDC is a .45, but it may wind up as the GF's carry unless there's something she finds better for her.
