[QUOTE As mentioned the weight helps to soak up .40 caliber recoil, and as an added bonus the heft of the pistol makes for a decent bludgeon if you run out of ammo.
One thing however, I tried a set of Hogue rubber grips on it, and it made the thing fatter than Rosie O'Donnell. Unless you have extra-large hands stay with the factory plastic grip.[/QUOTE]
This man has a perfect way to describe this gun.
