Grip texture is a touch aggressive
After a long range session I had a bit of a hot-spot on my middle knuckle from the front strap stippling. For carry it's actually a benefit - locks in your grip. For range days I might tape over one section. Otherwise top notch.
Solid choice, took a break-in
First 200 rounds were a bit gritty - trigger took a couple boxes to smooth out and one of the mags was stiff. Past that point, it's been flawless. If you can stomach a short break-in period, it's a great value.
I wanted to love it
Hyped this purchase for weeks based on reviews. In hand it's just OK. Not bad enough to return, not exciting enough to recommend. Maybe my expectations were too high. If you go in expecting solid mediocrity, you'll be satisfied.
