I have a 24/7 9mm which is more gun for the money than any I could find. That’s why when the 709 Slim was introduced I rushed to out to see one. After considering the Kahr and the KelTec as a small carry weapon, the 709 appealed in so many ways. I wanted more stopping power than a .38, plus I needed consistency in ammunition with my other gun so a 9mm was required.

The trigger pull is exactly like the 24/7, easy slight pull to a noticeable friction point, then a quick snap to a consistent fire.

It is light and thin, hence the SLIM notation, but still retains a full steel slide, unlike many other light weight carry guns. It tucks nicely within an IWB holster and conceals beneath a light tee-shirt with virtually no print through. The grips are less pronounced and not as soft as the ‘Ribber’ grips on the 24/7 but comfortable.

The slide has been smoothed with a three dot sight for easy holster extraction and all the edges rounded. It has a small ‘loaded’ detent on the top of the slide which is unobtrusive, so much so you can’t see it when sighting the weapon. The little red dot is mostly concealed even when looking from the side and the left side loaded indicator is absent any red paint at all. However, it is easy enough to tell its condition with a slip of the finger across the slide, and then it’s very noticeable. The 24/7 uses a ‘feel’ loaded indicator but it’s placed in a more convenient spot.
