Had to have one of these, so I picked it up and thought I would post a pic and quick test results.
The pistol fits my hand very well, points the same and the recoil is mild with reasonable accuracy capabilities. The trigger is a wee bit snappy, if not held properly, you will see a lot of sight jump when dry firing. If you haven't seen the internals, the firing pin safety, connector and trigger spring a different in design than the other models. The biggest is the trigger spring. That is a captured spring that has two anchor points within the housing. You utilize one, I found the upper recess appears to lesson the weight a tad. I'm certain there will be aftermarket kits soon if you like to fiddle. I fired at seven yards, a general training and sighting distance for these types of pistols. Groups can be sized relatively at longer distances for comparison. I'm sure the pistol is more accurate-it's the old nut behind the trigger that matters. Eighty rounds were fired, thirty Federal HydraShocks, forty-five PMC ball and five Speer ball. 100% function, zero issues. This is what I did to test function under various shooting conditions. All standing, except the one where I rested my hands on the bench. 10 rounds, 5 rounds each of PMC/Speer, single load to check slide lock Two rotations of listed with PMC and the Federal HS 6 rounds, Strong Hand Supported (standing offhand) 6 rounds, Strong Hand only-held properly 6 rounds, Weak Hand only, off, support-whatever-held properly 6 rounds, Strong Hand only-held to simulate a weakened state/injury* 6 rounds, Weak Hand only- Same *(Held only by trigger finger and thumb with enough strength to keep it on target, middle, ring and finger not in play. While extreme, it has happened and a pistol may or may not function held in a manner one would be if in this state). Hope it helps those thinking of picking up one of these. I have to decide on a holster, something tuckable, Appendix I think. Mark

Thanks for the review. I am waiting on my FFL to get mine in. I guess they still have a pretty good backlog from some of the distributors on these. saw about a dozen tables with these at the gunshow in Kenner, La today. (New Orleans) 399.00 +5% off was cheapest 499.00 I think was most expensive |

I grabbed one yesterday. Fired about 70 rounds of ball ammo thru it.
Fired at about 10 yds and was able to get 2-3 inch groups consistently. I would have a flyer from time to time due to the trigger and me. I'm not a good shot. I don't like glocks but I love this one. I have a sig238 that can also shoot but this one is more comfortable in my hands. Will need another one for sure. |

I picked up one at my LGS tuesday and was able to run about fifty rounds through it yesterday afternoon. At five and seven yards it shoots two or three inches low. I tried WWB, Tula, and PPU and had 100% function but they all shot low. Hmmm. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

That should raise the point of impact. -bob |
