I’ve been looking for the comparison video I ran across but can’t find it unfortunately. It compared 10 similar pieces including that S&W, Walther, Glock...they fired all of them with the same ammo. 3 guns made it to 1000 rounds without misfiring, the Taurus 709 among them. MSRP was $304. They spoke highly of it.
The HK USP made it to 35,000 rounds without a failure.
