Several thumbs-up to this little beast.
Shot it today and it was all-joy.
None of the different rounds would cause a stumble.
Accuracy was well beyond expectations.
Recoil is barely worth talking about. I've shot much worse *Makarovs* and a couple worse .380s as well.
Operation is wonderfully thought out. NOTE ON THE HALF-COCK WITH SAFETY IN SAFE POSITION REMOVED.
And the safety.... The single most deliberate and secure I've ever used in a 1911-like pistol.
Slide release on a loaded magazine convinced me to leave the stones in the tool chest.
The recoil, one handed delivers a decided rise and left cant but the return to target is swift and the light weight keeps the overtravel on return to target to nothing.
Two handed it is very easy to keep well on target.
Not really loud for the shooter but when I stepped back behind a pal to watch things - holy cow!
All things considered... I may yet buy another one as I've seen my wife eye-balling this since it came home.
Maybe one of the very much prettier ones for her for Christmas or her birthday.
I guess that our much loved Sig 230SL is approaching a decidedly fall-back position. I won't get rid of it but carrying has been rendered moot in the average scenario.
