Shot 4 clips yesterday with the Taurus 809
first 2 magazines had about 5 jams which pissed
me off but then the last 2 magazines only had one.

I was all over the place getting used to the sights
then on my last magazine I got better....think I
do better when I just click them off instead of
thinking and aiming real hard.

Also the shells fly out more back at you than to the
side like the LC9s....

If your jamming try a different brand ammo. Also on aiming. A good rule of thumb that helps us at distance shooting is Aim small miss small. So instead of aiming at a bullseye aim for a corner or line on the target

and check your grip. Alot of polymer framed guns are kinda sensitive to a soft grip and will fail to feed or eject when "limp wristed" ... not saying thats the prob, its common tho

those times it jammed.....
it was like it tried to feed 2 shells
I would pull the slide back and let the one
shell fall out......by the last clip it didn't do it

I will see how it does the next time when I plan
on running a couple hundred rounds through

In my limited experience handguns are harder to shoot well and accurately than long guns.  When in the army I was on the post rifle team.  I tried the pistol team's arms a few times, and it was very hard to get a persistent pattern.  With the 1911s just getting on the paper was hard at first.

You'll be pleased. I've had two. Never had a misfire. I am about to add grip extensions. I don't have the biggest hands but the slim feels a little small so I need a little more to hold.
