I have never understood why people complain about it hurting their hands. It's not made to put 100 rds thru at the range. It's meant to save your life when you need it.
I bought a P-11 many years ago, as my first "self-defense" pistol. Yea, it had a long, heavy trigger pull, but I didn't know any better, so it wasn't a big deal. Not much different than some revolvers I'd shot before.
It had a short sight radius, so sight alignment was important. When I did my part, I could shoot fairly tight groups with it out to about ten yards or so. I never tried any longer shooting with it.
Yes, it kicked. It wasn't bad for the first 50 rounds or so, but I tried to go 100 once, and it left my arm tingling for a day or two. I decided it was a 50 round a day gun.
Back then 9mm ammo was cheap. I'm not sure how many rounds I fired with it, but it was over 1000. WWB, Rem-UMC, Blazer Brass, American Eagle. It didn't matter. It was reliable.
I traded it off eventually. Not because I thought there was anything wrong with it, just because I saw something else I wanted more, but it was about as good a carry gun as I've ever owned. Small, light, reasonably power, reliable, decent magazine capacity.
