I just got 2 of the Gen. 1 and I love them. The slide and other parts are extremely well fitted, they are accurate, and I have yet to shoot anything through them that didn't cycle perfectly. So far they have eating 90 gr. XTP's, 115 gr. XTP's, Nosler's, and Gold Dots, 124 gr. XTP's, 147 gr. XTP's.
When you work the slide it feels like they are on a ball bearing surface, like silk. They say it's due to the self lubricating metals and precision mated surfaces.
The chambers are nicely supported too, although the chamber seems a little bit thin to me, but I think that's just me being a little nervous about new light weight metal alloy technology I guess.
I also like the DA feature, ambidextrous safety, and the pressure trigger safety. And another quality is the trigger pull, it is soo smooth and constant. I am truly impressed with my SCCY's, and I plan on buying a couple of 2nd gen. models as soon as they are back on the shelves. I like them better than any of the Taurus I own, and they are about $100 bucks less than the PT111 or 709.
