best feeling gun in my hand.
Great feel. Accurate right out of the box. May eventually change out the sights only because I prefer night sights vs the fiber optic front sight. Alll in all a true “10”
Solid feel and easy to shoot, especially with extended mag. Very accurate at 21 feet. Seemed to be a little heavy for concealed carry but after a couple of days all was good.
Has the feel of a much more expensive gun. Only one jam in the first 200 rounds. That could be my fault as I like light loads for range shooting.
It’s very slim and concealable as well as fitting my hand. Other conceal carry guns are too small and spin in my grip with too much snap from 9mm. The 45 in this is a very good round but you definitely feel the weight, which is a good thing when shooting as opposed to carrying. The trigger is the only thing that keeps this an 8 for me, but I shoot competition guns with modified triggers normally so most stock triggers are sub par to me. That being said, it’s crisp and not as squishy as my Glocks and I shoot it very well, fast and accurately. Plus you get all the accessories in the kit.
Size is perfect fit but it is way to heavy for conceal carry. The great feel makes for a very accurate pistol.
Bought a Sneaky Pete holster, the fit is good but too big and bulky for a comfortable carry gun.
Lots of fun at the fun, recovery is good for fast shooting. Trigger feels good to me; maybe because I have strong gripping hand.
I would buy it again just because it is a pleasure to shoot. This is a follow up review after owning the pistol since June of 2015
