Just bought the 709 yesterday and after cleaning out the massive amount of junk went to check it out today. Fired around 75 rounds of WWB and a mag or so of Fed HST 147 and also 6 rounds of CCI shotshells. The only problem I had was on the second round of the CCI shotshells, first round was fine but had a FTF on the second. started over with 2 rounds in one mag and 3 in another and the CCI shotshells functioned and locked back the slide no problem. At 15 yards it was surprisingly accuracte, all rounds went into about a saucer sized group. I was shooting off-hand and didn't have time to set up good targets just a sheet of paper on a stake. The HST is what I'll carry in it for now but will have to fire another 100 to make sure it continues to function with them. Only problem other than the 1 ftf with shotshells was my trigger finger at the end of shooting was pretty tore up. I took this pic with my Blackberry and being as I'm right handed had to take it with my left hand and the pic looks distorted. Looking for a good holster now.
