Received the new 445 ultra lite in stainless finish. Took the ribbers off and replaced with older style one piece compact frame rubbers. Second weekend of carrying in Null plastic upside down shoulder holster, under short sleeved slightly over sized button up collared shirt. Tested and loaded with custom loaded 200 gdhp.
It is controllable to shoot, although split open skin on inside of thumb on shooting hand, after 25 rounds. The crane locks on the side, allowing a longer stroke to eject empties. Relieved some sharp edges, and slightly modified the holster to fit. Much lighter than the 445 stainless it replaced. About as powerful am willing to go in compact light big bore.
