After buying this gun on Monday, I finally had an opportunity to hit the range with it.
In short, it shot perfectly and ate every type of ammo I put through it (a little over 200 rounds). The recoil wasn't bad at all and as I've said in other posts, there is no way this trigger pull is 8lbs. Maybe I got lucky out of the box but it wasn't bad at all.
My first several shots were low and to the left which I contribute to my aim and possiblity of expecting more recoil than the gun actually had.
After changing my strance a little I was able to group shots very well with only a few missed targets.
I will tell anyone who is looking for a solid gun on a budget to take a serious look at this weaopn. As most already know, it's no different than the origianl SD 9 minus the sites and slide finish. I paid $299.00 before tax at my local Academy Sports (I was able to get the last one in the safe) and they mentioned these guns were selling quickly.
Overall I am very happy with my purchase and feel this gun gives me everything I need in home and personal protection.
Now, go out and get one!!
Merry Christmas!!
