I think they have a winner with this package.

Maybe..... then again you may be taking a chance for a dud.

Small, light, accurate, and managable recoil. I've searched the web and I've found no issues at all with the 740. Now I want to trade my 709 for a 740...that's the down side to shooting your buddies' guns. Gotta make room in the safe.

Anyway, I was pleasantly surprised at how well this little pistol handled the .40 round. Nice shooter and carry piece for sure. I think they have a winner with this package.

Cool it is always good to hear when someone is pleased with a weapon they have tried as opposed to telling about the problems. Glad your 709 has been a good gun and equally glad your pal likes his .40
