So I got hands on a Security 9 today. (They're in short supply up here.)
I mostly liked it. The grip fit an felt good in my hand. Liked the sights. (Same as my Redhawk.)
What I didn't like was the slide release. It took an enormous amount of force to release the slide. I was unable to release it with just my thumb while retaining a full grip on the gun. I finally had to turn the gun 90˚ (a.k.a. breaking the 180 and a DQ) and release the slide with my left hand.
Is this normal for this gun, or is this something that "wears in"? (i.e. is this something that if I just sit and lock&release the slide repeatedly while watching TV it will go away?) Or is this possibly a defect with that particular gun?
