[QUOTE="FredNOk, post: 2843550, member: 35627"] I got my mom a 709 slim 9MM in that funky special edition lavender color that she just had to have. I bought it at Academy in OKC as it was on sale for 20% off in 2015 and since she couldn't rack the slide on my M&P 40, she could on the 709 Slim and she handled it nicely. The grip is small enough for her little skinny hands to grip it and hold it well. We never got a chance for her to shoot it because she developed a disabling disease that attacked her shoulders and we didn't know it was advancing until about 3 months after I got her the gun, so now she can't rack the slide on it, much less shoot it. It isn't a problem with the gun, but the shooter. I would recommend your mom to rent one at a range and try it out before jumping in there and buying one because getting rid of it has been a real pain. It was sold to us as being one of Taurus's best semi autos and because it is slim it easily concealed. However, the Lavender color isn't a color choice of a weapon that most men find appealing, so women become the target buyers. [/QUOTE]
