All, my wife's carry gun is a S&W 649. We're considering replacing it with a single-stack all-steel 9mm. The T9 is one of our candidate guns. We have a PM9, but it's simply too hard for her to feel comfortable/confident manipulating its slide. She's tried a K9, but like the PM9, it's too hard for her to run the slide.

We've yet to put our hands on a T9, so we're seeking feedback from T9 users on whether the slide of the T9 is noticeably easier to rack than the K9 and the PM9.

Also, anyone know the weights of the K9 and T9 recoil springs?

Thanks in advance.
