There I am in the gun store looking at the CZ PO1 (it's amazingly small for a duty sidearm) and the Springfield XD (eewwwww, it's even worse than a Glock for pointability) and I'm heading out the door when I see it lurking there like the unloved red haired child.
It took the length of the following conversation for me to buy a gun that I have bad mouthed for ever.
"How much for this"
"Oh it's on clearance, $399"
"Really ?, they're certainly different, errrr, ok why not, I'll take it"
"Oh wait a second it's $349 not $399"
"I'll definitely take it now"
So what is it - well I thought I'd make this interesting and describe the things I've always hated about this pistol and see if anyone can figure out what it is.
It has:
1. A notoriously stiff safety (not bad on this one though)
2. Almost no slide, difficult to grip.
3. Chunky grip.
4. Looong DA trigger, with a long reach for smaller hands.
5. A VERY wide slide.
Go ahead take a shot.
