The reviews were excellent, but some users were not completely thrilled with this little gun. It weighs 15.6 ozs. & has a 7+ 1 capacity. I just got it in and was anxious to shoot it. My gunsmith checked it out fully. His only complaint was that the trigger needed to be upgraded. He ordered a new & better one. First impressions: Nice, real nice. The recoil is not what I expected...much less. Great balance in my hand. I shot 100 rds.(Speer Gold Dot 115 Grain GDHP) today. Flawless & no fatigue of any kind. What a nice carry gun. I bought a IWB Galco Tuck N Go in natural rawhide. I carried it today, all day, at the 3:30 position. At one point I panicked because I thought it was gone...it was still there. Comfortable and natural to carry. I shot all 100 rounds at the 7-10 yds. mark. This fine little gun makes you a better shooter than you are. This is a lot of gun for $645.00. After my thru the window stunt, I bought a new gun with a safety. I like it like that now.
