I have been chronographing ammo and learned that the gun shoots very close to advertised specs on ammo compared to shorter barreled guns. The 90 grain premium offerings (Hornady Critical Defense, Hornady Custom, Federal Hydra Shock) tend to run a little slower (972-994 out of 1000) while the Winchester PDX1 (95 grain), Federal HST (99 grain) and Buffalo Bore standard pressure hard cast (100 grain) beat factory specs. The 90 grain ammo is very mild and is easy to shoot.

I have not shot the gun enough to call it reliable enough to rely upon, but I am thinking that it will be a great choice for the shooter who is not committed to shooting regularly.
